Was in the shop grinding, I think a little better there sometimes.
For possible clarification design is both general concept and details that work together.
All knives should have an edge and something to grab onto because these things don't drive themselves. This means most knives have a blade and handle. This is the largest general concept of knife design and we start focusing from there.
It is interesting to have worked on the "right" edge shape for a game knife and think I'm the first one to have gotten it right only to find it done, beautifully, on a stone blade made around 10,000 years ago.
I certainly did not invent knives but have been lucky enough that many have guided me to making something better than I might have all on my own.
BRAVO-SMASH, My job is to keep that tradition going too so let me think about your first design phase assignment as a knife designer.
