Project: CQC/Appendix Carry (commissioned by self defense instructor)

[synspeed]

A buddy of mine is a CQC/practical shooting instructor, and asked if I could make him a knife to replace his SOG dagger that he carries at the 11 0'clock position (appendix). He wanted a tanto style with minimal weight, and requested no scales or handle. Roughed this one from 440c stainless. I'll end up chamfering all the contact edges so he won't destroy his support hand during drills. The main bevels and top swedge are flat grinds while the tip is conveyed. Let me know what you guys think. This one will also be going into production, and will be called the Quicksilver.

I'd like it to have a slight concave belly myself and jumping on the spine as well as a slight curve to the handle, looks nice though.
