Im going for something similar to the SLK but with a wider blade in proportion to its length much like the geometry on the RSK and no scales. Strategically placed holes in the full-width tang to facilitate a paracord-wraped handle would take the place of scales. The pocket sheath with the clip is not a deal breaker although it is desired. It is a mod I could easily get someone else to do or even (maybe) do myself so if Gene cant do it, it wouldn't keep me from having the knife made. Really the only things left to come up with are the placing of the tang holes and the precise blade measurements, neither of which can be done until I atleast send a some sketches and rough measurments to Gene to be sure my design is structurally optimal (if that makes sense).
