This looks like a nice knife- but..... My wife has 2 just about like it. Hers are fixed blades and are straight handle but the blade is the same basic design. Did I mention she uses hers for leather work , and the knives are called "pattern " or "head" kinves. They are used for cutting out leather parts, thinning "thick" leather etc.
One can buy commercialy made or custom made . Prices start around $50.00 and go up to around $80 - $125.00 for custom, with your choice of head shape & size and exotic wood for the handle.
I would also like to add my wife mentioned that out side of cutting rope or some unfoturnate persons throat, it is not a very good defense knife.
