It arrived today in the mail and I'm very happy with the way that it turned out. I sent the specs to Bryan Breeden, of Breeden Knives in New England.
I asked him to use a blade on one of his knives, the *Peace Maker* and drew up the handle design from a knife I handled in a local eatery. The handle fills my
hand and fits it well. Bryan wants to call it the RSK (Robertson Survival Knife) and offer it up as a build to order knife. Personally, I like RUCK
(Robertson utility/camp knife) better, but that'll all get figured out when I see how well the knife does in the field. So far though, it felt good during
the limited use I gave it today and the Osage handles were very grippy in the wet weather.
Overall length is 9 1/2"
Blade length is 5"
Steel is 1/8" O1
Grind is flat with convexed edge
Handles are Osage

Yeah, Bryan does very nice work. As soon as I get some off time, I'm into the woods and it'll get broke in good.

I forgot to list the width of the blade. It's 1 1/4" at the handle, which gives a better idea of the handles dimensions.
