Ok, what does everyone think about something like this? Came out slightly over 3", and the butt of the handle could be cleaned up a bit, but I'm liking it.

Blade is longer, handle is longer, but your grip won't change at all.
I think for something like this it would be better if it were just the next Delica design.... BUT D*MN! THAT LOOKS GOOD.
Sal should hire you. :D

Hah! Talk about a dream job. I appreciate the kind words.

In truth, this took about 15 minutes and 2-3 revisions in illustrator, and I think anything Sal or Eric designed would be vastly superior. David designed something in between the original Dragonfly and mine, which I think is also probably a better design. But I'd love a 3" Dragonfly anyway.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.
