A photorealistic folding knife with a dark wood and olive drab handle, and a polished steel blade featuring intricate etched patterns.

Visual concept (draw this) Silhouette: A medium-length blade with a gentle trailing belly (good for slicing) that flows into a soft upward drop at the tip (gives control and strength). The spine has a subtle crown (shallow double-fillet along the top for style and stiffness) that ends in a slender, reinforced point. Near the handle, the edge features a short, shallow recurve for efficient pull-cuts (rope, cord, meat). Unique signature feature: a small arched thumb ramp on the spine with fine jimping and a shallow half-choil that doubles as a finger guard. On the flat near the ricasso is a tiny crescent relief (decorative and functional as a scraper). Aesthetics: elegant transition from spine to belly. Option for a satin-finish flat area with a bead-blasted fuller strip along the centerline (adds visual depth). Dimensions & geometry (practical specs) Overall length: 9.0–10.0 in (usable, legal-friendly in many places) Blade length: 4.0 in (short field model) — 5.0 in (full model) Blade thickness at ricasso: 3.5–4.0 mm (sturdy, not clumsy) Point geometry: reinforced drop-tip with ~20° included at the very tip for durability Edge profile: moderate belly with 12–18% recurve near the handle Grind: full-flat grind behind a slight distal taper (best balance of slicing and strength). Option: convex microbevel for field robustness. Spine: 3.5–4.0 mm tapering to ~1.5 mm near tip Handle length: 4.75–5.0 in (comfortable for gloved hands) Balance: slightly forward of the guard for See more
