Question Mid-sized "nude Neck Knives"

Here are some more compact all-steel knives I just finished. These are intended as compact neckers or EDC type blades at the low-to-ridiculous price range for a hand/benchmade. I reckon some guys could also use these are ?kit? knives & wrap the handles or something similar.

Steel ? 154CM, 1/8th " thickness
Heat Treatment ? Hills Heat Treatment, Cryo & 3xtempered ? 60RC hardness
Grinds ? All are one-sided ?chisel-ground?. Reinforced point. Almost zero-edge.
Finish - Fine machine finish.
Handles ? Textured all-steel with a chiseled buttend for opening tins & prying.
Sheaths ? Moulded Kydex.

1., 2., 3., 4. ? All 5.5inch OAL, 2.0inch blade. 3., 4. are a little narrower in profile.
5. 6.0inch OAL, 2.5inch blade.



More pics below. What do you guys think ? Leave them flat & simple or wrap the handles ?

Thanks. Jason.

Those are neat Jason. I wouldn't wrap the handles, leave it up to the customer.

I agree, I think the texture should be good for grip. If the customer wants to wrap it, let them do it!

I like the handle as is too. These remind me a great deal of my personal carry knife (A Tom Meringer piece he called a scalpel). These look like tough little knives that can take some rough and tumble everyday use. Just the type of thing I would want to have at hand as I go thru the day. Be it at work or at play.

Very Nice! I like the texturing on the grip as well. You should sell a bunch.

You could always wrap one, so everyone can see what it looks like, and then leave it as an option for the customer (at a price, of course). I think these knives look great without wrapping.

Are those chisel ground?

Nice work Jason. You're my favorite knifemaker here.

Yup, they are one-sided ground. The edge bevel is very close to the main bevel and it is almost a zero-grind. Jason.

I'n butt-cold Iowa, I'd like the option of a wrap or "slip-on" handle. Those are nifty.
