Great Basin Bushcraft
This is the latest of my GBB's - It's a shorter bladed bushcraft design, with a semi-guard formed by the dropped edge ricasso. For a lot of utilitarian reasons I prefer a long section of well squared off straight spine as a tool. So on this design I have achieved that, as well as a dropped tip placement, by making most of the spine onto a long straight clip, (with a bit of downturn at the very end for a strong drilling tip and to save the sheaths a bit.) As usual, it has a well rounded handle with the primary goal being universal ergonomics. The blade is fairly broad and can be pinch gripped easily.
