This is a sneak peak at some idea I have had for a while. A small everyday carry that you can have with you with out dwawing to much attention. I was thinking of calling it the "Compadre" Let me tell you what a Compadre is. It is usually the man who sponsers the baptism of you child. Usually this guy is someone of great respect or one of your best buds. In my case its both. Some one you could drink a beer with. I an going to make a kydex neck sheath for this one. Well back to work for me cause I got lots of it to get done. Whatcha think?

I like the design! Not much on pink paracord though. Are you making this one for Ken?

Now don't go picking on Cowboy's faulty vision. :sneaky2: He's so used to looking at himself in the mirror that EVERYTHING he sees is pink. :innocent:

What if the blade was shaped like a Teaspoon, sharpened 300 degrees or 270 degrees around. And there was a split piece of 3/16" dia. hose to cover the knife edge so it could be used as a flat spoon, for freeze dried food. Just an Idea.

Maybe shaping the kydex sheath with a little concave would work as a spoon?

Hey guys!!! In about 31 minutes, you took an idea, then improved on it!! You are going to put the "think tanks" , engineers etc out of business by using that kind of common sense

Hello "Compadre"! Great idea. Is that a titanium coating?

panch0

No it is an acid etch to grey it up a bit to protect from rust a bit. It is 1080 carbon steel.

Great looking blade Pancho. What is the length and when do you start taking orders?

It is about 4.75" long and I should have a couple done in ATS34 SS in about three weeks ready to finish.

What, do you believe the neck knife would excel at? Why would you carry this particular knife?

Looks like a little skinner with a bottle opener on it to me.

It is targeted if you will to the south Texas hunters who drink a little dos equis or tecate.:drool: That and well I was thinking if I put a false edge it would also work as a can opener. Just a small little blade with a tool. I couldn't figure out where to put a small flat head screw driver with out it being uncomfortable. It might make a good key ring knife. Just something I was playing around with. Its not going to baton through wood or anything, but being as small as it is it might make a good PSK knife. I am trying to come up with a design that will be more like a neck tool instead of a neck knife if that makes any sense.

Well the above knife wasn't totally complete. This one I just finished this afternoon with neck sheath and all.

Here is some serious field testing. I just handed it over to the bartender and told him his hands were going to be seen around the world. He was nervouse but figured out how to use the little guy.

Don't tell your friend that he's famous. Next thing you know - he'll want royalty payments.

Lol He kind of wanted to keep the knife as payment.

It's always a good sign that you've made a good one when they won't give it back.
