What's the story behind that knife? I've never seen a design like it before.
It's a custom Round Knife, or Head Knife for Leatherworking. It's made by a company in New Mexico called Leather Wranglers that makes custom leather tools like Round knives or Swivel knives. Gorgeous and absolutely wonderful to work with tools. http://www.shop.leatherwranglers.com/product.sc?productId=25&categoryId=7
It makes lovely straight cuts, it's my preferred blade for pattern cutting, and because the blade is so big, it's fantastic for cutting thick pieces perfectly straight, and I also use it for skiving.

Interesting, thanks for the info!

I just re-read my last post and I kind of made it sound like it only cuts in straight lines, and I want to correct that. I use it a lot to make small detail cuts for small pieces with or without curved lines. It's especially important for making a clean edge for a finished piece. Lesser quality blades that bend can leave an edge that's not clean, and takes more work to make it presentable. Having a sturdy large blade makes the cuts straight and clean, even when the pattern piece has corners. I hope I made it more clear, even if only for myself

A wise old man once said that if a man had pants on, he should also be carrying his knife. I never leave home without one – it's a great tool to have. One that can help save your life in many different scenarios. Usually, I carry a Gerber 06 (drop point version) or a custom 5" stag folder, which look's similar to a Buck 110. Sometimes, I carry a 4" fixed blade (custom):

Today's carry
This knife means a lot as it belonged to my deceased friend Ed. I think about him when I carry it. His widow is a lovely woman who was very generous to me after he passed.

Global 30th anniversary knife set. Received this and one of their knife blocks today as a gift from my dear old Mum.
Very chuffed.
