This is a knife that I recently ground out freehand without a template, sort of just letting the design take me where it wanted to go. I've always wanted to make a model which had a lot of belly curvature (like a Guide) but with a fine trailing-point tip for whittling and fine work. The handle locks your hand in, somewhat similar to a Huntsman, but this one has pointed pommel quillons and a sharp pommel contour, somewhat similar to the Classic. I put a 2/3 height convex grind on it, making it a good slicer yet keeping it robust for tougher chores. Not so sure what to call this one yet...
