Actually, Don, of ABS Master rating/stamp, specialized in period pieces "back in the day", and passed on relatively young at age 57 back in 1999, so neither knife nor design actually new. On the other hand, the knife is nearly mint condition as was delivered from Don, the repro old knife thing.

Full convex to edge, 10.6 oz weight exactly 1/2 oz over the trusty woods pal 1-8 included for scale, balance at ricasso, differential draw down of tip/spine/rear of blade transitioning to tang. Copper bolsters/pins. Most everything else self-evident, except, perhaps, the sharpness, slices with ease through bunched rags and loosely held paper.

Self-evident being this your basic essence of "knife" in many cultures. In the USA, this would be your generic indian-trade/scalper/butcher/mountain man/camp knife, showing across even those groups its wide commonality/utility.

Or, simply, granny's old butcher knife unnoticed on kitchen counter.
