So that is why I have come up with this pattern and have profiled the 6 blades to the shape. I need to finsh up the present batch of knives so I can get back to the safari knife next week. I will make a jig to do the scandi grind but still have to wait for the rest of the olive canvas micarta scales and torx screws to arrive before they can be completed. I will want to be able to offer buff horn as an option and possible griaffe bone or impala horn and different leathers (ele, buff etc) if I can get onto a supply isn't asking the extortionate price that I have found so far. (US$52 for giraffe bone scale set and US$900 for an ele leather pannel) Untill I can find an alternative it will be cow hide sheath (either vertical or horizontal carry) and micarta handles
Steel will be 4mm (3/16) O1 hardened to 59-60 as per what the guys found in testing.
