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

[260284]

It will be like this, likely without the kydex clip on it. The opening will be better designed and cleaner looking. The grommet holes will be sized to put clips on it if you want.

Or, I might have the sheath maker create vertical and horizontal carry clips like the one shown on the case.

What is the best option for horizontal belt carry?

I like the look of the logo close to the handle rather than the middle of blade. Could do that on both sides if two logos are needed?

When will these be available for sale? I just found this thread.

They still seem to be available on the LSwild website. I’m pretty sure @hereinaz had said they were at a lower pre-order price, but I don’t know if he distinguished when that price would change or if there was a point that pre-orders would cease.

I don’t like aggressive jimping. This gives a bit of grip without being aggressive like a file or sandpaper.

What say you?

That spine engraving looks cool. The only negative I can think of would by potential for collecting gunk/a rust path. I can't say I've ever wished for more grip, but haven't ever used a knife with jimping either.

If it were an option I would take it to get more experience with jimping and think it looks cool. If it adds cost I'd probably skip it.

Here is another vote for a small makers mark for ls wild and nothing else. This is my first expensive knife and I'm planning on it being my hunting knife for as long as I'm doing it.

Being blunt here but large logos & goofy phrases laser etched into the knife are a major turn off and do not match at all with the high quality lifetime purchase I am treating this as.

They are still on pre-sale pricing until the end of this week.

The pancake will be the best option.

As to the logo vs. maker mark, I am definitely on the less is more. As soon as the blades come in, I'll get a couple versions up for comment for the final version.

For the pre-orders, I'll let people customize their knife. I will be sending everyone an email with the options.

Let me just say, I’ve purchased a few products through the LS wild shop, and have always been impressed.
@hereinaz is a stand up dude. From one small business owner to another, I’m really impressed with what he’s doing.

I’m sure this pre-order and the knives will 100% meet the expectations of everybody involved! Keep it up man
