First partial tang. I’m pretty much sold on them. They’re lighter than a tapered tang, and plenty strong. I hope to design more of my field dressing patterns like this to really lighten them up for the back country hunter, while still providing a full sized blade/handle.
This one is in...
A Cruwear camp knife at 64 hrc with black ash Burl, and a magnacut @ 62 hrc finished up.

My new favorite is the civivi sokoke. Its a mkrd budget friendly knife but i find the steel, heat treat, and geometry to be excellent
