3 finger pinchy

Some friends showed me this supposedly common grip among chefs, where you pinch the knife with your index and thumb and then grip the handle regularly with the remaining 3 fingers. I wanted to make a knife that can only be gripped that way (mainly), seeing as how most would grip a regular full hand length handle with the 3 finger grip. My girlfriend Alysia's parents just bought one of the Bob Kramer production knives, which is really sweet and has this big wide belly and a nice slender tip, I sort of modeled this blade like that but shortened it up by about 1/3. 5160, still need to clean it then finish grind the bevel.

It makes perfect sense, I've got a Spyderco knife I use in the kitchen and it's size and function roughly the same. I rarely if ever put 4 fingers on the grip.....Nifty blade.

Sam,

That's a sweet looking knife.
