So what options are ya thinkin of on that one Chief?? As I've said, too big for my uses but I'd like to see where you're headed.
I would put a nickel silver hilt on it just because I like it better than brass. A border patrol handle / no butt cap Thong hole Red or black micarta Spacers to match micarta / thong also (if possible)
I like that it's a 3/16 blade Lots of folks commenting on how big knives aren't all that for cleaning small fish. I disagree (go figure) when I'm cleaning fish I find the thickness & height of the blade to be more important than the length of the blade. When I do the skin side of the filet I am mostly holding the skin down at the tail end, & pushing the blade with minimal sawing motion of the blade. If another 1-3 inches of blade is sticking out on either side of the filet so what. I would rather clean a small fish with a big knife than a big fish with a small knife. Keep in mind if you are fishing & camping, staying over night at a camp, you will be cooking. This knife works in the kitchen as well.
So Chief, are you leaning toward the Model 4 with a larger blade, like the one you posted on the second page? would that knife have a top edge sharpened, with the embellishments you suggested?
