im sorry for the amature-ish work. im not very good at photoshop.. or any other task that involves some sort of drawing, for that matter. :p i just really had this idea of a neat little knife that i really wanted to test.
the knife is primarily intended for reverse grip, edge-in (or pikal, to the SD crowd) but it can be easily indexed/transitioned to a forward grip, edge-out. the ring fits on the middle finger and is there for retention as well as serving as the pivot point when indexing. the blade has a slight curve to it (which seems to be ideal for pikal). it has a hump on the spine that is designed to rest against the outer side of the pinky (in pikal), or as a thumb ramp (sabre grip). the little protrusion on the ring is there for 'capping' the thumb on in the reverse grip. it also aids in indexing the knife.
here are some pics of a cardboard cutout of it. please note the difference in blade shape. i made the cutout before drawing it in photoshop. the real knife should have a slightly shorter handle (so the hump on the spine rests exactly on the outer side of the pinky on pikal grip, and on the middle of the thumb pad in sabre grip).

..there, i hoped u guys at least enjoyed the pics. please let me know what you think. im open to any criticism and/or suggestions. i really want to know how you think this might perform when its in real-steel. and if you've seen anything like it before, please let me know (i've done some searching and i havent found anything with the same features, luckily).
p.s.
if ive made any errors with the terminologies ive used, feel free to correct them.
