Sidekick pattern ready for duty! I always understand why this size knife is a killer size to have around. Not too big.... or too small for most tasks. Just over 3” blade on this pattern.

Very true, the size thing. I don't know about the USA but if ya pull out a fixed blade knife out up here in Canucistan everyone almost freeks!! But ya can pull out a folder with 4-5 inch blade & everyone wants to see it??? Weird!! Need to design a kydex sheath that can grip to bottom of pocket, or clip on but have the knife ride really low & out of sight. Nice work, cool size, could do most things for sure. Bill out. 🐾👣🇨🇦

I like shorter handles to, your little finger is just along for the ride anyway. You don't loose any control, I don't think anyway. 🐾👣🇨🇦

The cutting edge is 3.125”. I’d have to measure the pattern but the overall is around 7.5”. I’d need to measure to be exact. It is with 1/8” thick stock.

0-1 carbon steel and Micarta handle material.

Pretty finish on the blade.

I’m starting to wise up that ~3” or a touch larger is just right.

Exactly! I like larger but just a tad. All you need for deer and most game around me. In woods for camp knife maybe different story but for the most part I use a folding saw for processing any wood. These days I prefer to not even have a fire. Too much work and conserve energy and use alcohol stove to cook with on trips.

I like the pattern, but for me, a blade that short would work better with less height on the blade. I would not order the finger groove. Did you blue the steel?

I have a pattern similar to what your describing called the Gremlin.
The steel is ferric chloride etched.
