I think a native5 lightweight in either cruwear or m4 would make excellent work knives.

Watch her do fish.

Can't get this one out of my pocket now, except to use.

This is the only one I'd give consideration.

Our family has used it for decades to brush our teeth.

Small wire brush for 2-$3 from a hardware store will keep the jimping clean and corrosion free.

3" or less, what I use 95% of the time.
4-5"
10-11"
17+

3.1" blade, 4.3" closed. I'm thinking of taking off another .25" on each end.

Here's my GB1 mini.

Not sure if it was 3/16 or 1/4. It was made of small scrap pieces from work and don't have any more of it.
Thickest width of the handle is top of the butt end, about 0.55", and tapers to about 0.48" towards the bottom front.

I like the thicker scales too, much more comfortable to use. While shaping, I was going to round them but stopped here to try it out, and like it.

Nice job. I'm slowly working in the same direction with a GB1, but have a ways to go.

I hope so, along with m4 and hap40. I would also like to see m2 or an equivalent come back.

For me it's a ~3" long, 1-1.25" tall spear point with 2/3 high flat grind, transitioning all the way to the tip, about .100" thick.
~4" long slightly curved handle lengthwise for a slight negative blade angle. Slightly rounded grips. I like wood, but G10 is ok too.

This is a fantastic knife for those that have tough 3" blade & compression lock in mind.

"Use what you got" is good stuff. If it struggles, then you know, otherwise you don't.
I only had an m2 blade for many, many years and spent some of that time with it in the marsh redfishing. It's probably half the corrosion resistance of cruwear and survived well. It wasn't scared.

My favorite 4" folder. I'm right handed and if it was lefty would probably still be. 1. Depends on how you use it. For me it's yes with 52100 or m4. 2. Yes, on my 52100 3. No around the house, got plenty others that length and longer readily available. Camping yes, I hate digging out a food pre...
