That one would work very well for the build. And a pair is even better.


FWIW, the RKCC club knife (of which I have one) is based on the Stanaback Special. It's a little over 4.5" on the blade, 1/4" material (quite stout) compared to the 3/16" material on the #8-4" old-style.

It's also reduced (hidden) tang, so you have a wide variety of material and shape options for the handle.
