Help finalize the "Dixie Zipper" (Mini CBK) for a group buy

[Smokey Bear]

I’m in the non knapped as well. I liked the handles on the pass arounds. That will still be an option correct?

Non-knapped... Never saw the need for more grip on a knife used for hunting. Just used a G-10 handled knife cleaning a bunch a slimy fish and never dropped it once and didn't think it needed more grip.
Like on a axe you want a smooth grip or it will tear your hands up.

Non knapped please!

Non-knapped here as well. I wasn’t on the pass around list so I can’t speak to the scallop from a potential feel perspective. I also ordered the micarta but would be curious to see the green and orange G10.

Non-knapped is my choice as well

 

[Bcool208]

Non knapped. Don’t think a guy needs it that aggressive

 

[West18]

Non Knapped for me as well after using the pass around knives

 

[Randle]

Non knapped also

 

[rem.ostrem]

Non knapped for me as well. Never felt like I was going to lose my grip on the pass around knives.

Non knapped here as well. I will say though the lime/orange knapped will look cool, but for me in use I don't think it's my baliwick.
As for the scallop, I'll have to trust your judgment. I use a pinch grip a lot, and pinch with index on the spine quite often. How a knife fits in use is what makes it a favorite, sometimes even with lower quality blade as sacrifice for feel.

Order placed - appreciate the effort you put into this @hereinaz

 

[Huntndog]

Order placed. Looks like a great knife!

 

[NDGuy]

@hereinaz if preordered would I be able to request a different handle material?

Wood or a different micarta?

 

[Huntndog]

For those who have pre ordered, do you plan to carry this knife for general purpose use or primarily for butchering game?

 

[nebhunt]

I will be using mine in the field but it will probably see some use butchering also

Just the options I have listed so far. I won’t be able to make special handles.

For me it's going to be for processing. It would probably be ok for a few other things like food prep if need be, but I have a tool steel blade I use for GP.

Ordered two! Thanks for all the work on this. Any pics of the edge finish option @hereinaz? I don't think I care given intended use, just curious though.

I will likely field dress with my sharptailed still, or sometimes with my blackfoot. If I intend to skin in the field will use this, if I intend to do that back at the cabin I will use this.

Who knows though, spots in my rotation can always change a bit over time.

I drew a few tags this year so hopeful to put it to work in the field on some animals
