This fixed blade looks built for real outdoor work: a curved cutting edge on a flat grind, an integrated finger choil for a forward grip, and a pointed pommel formed by the exposed tang. The maker thinks it would serve well as a general use outdoor blade, and the overall shape reads that way to me too. A lanyard hole rounds out the layout.
The blade is Nitro-v stainless at 1/8 inch thick. What sets the build apart is the handle: segmented G10 scales in two-tone composite materials, joined with a rounded joint, and thin contrasting liners running along the perimeter. The maker tried the rounded joint here as a skill experiment on a blade already planned, and by their own account this first attempt came out satisfying.
The fitting clearly took patience. Getting the scales to sit properly meant a lot of fiddling, around four hours in total, and the maker plans to build a jig to speed that up on the next one. That seems a smart move; if the joint shape is worth repeating, removing the guesswork is the obvious step.
There were a couple of mistakes along the blade, and the maker chose to carry on and finish it anyway. I respect that call, though the blade is now headed for the drawer of forgotten blades rather than regular use. Judging the flat grind and edge geometry on their own merits, it looks like a clean, well-proportioned blade, and the segmented handle with its rounded joint is the kind of detail work I would love to see repeated now that the fitting method is being refined.
