    The Model 3 started out life in an unusual way, at least it was unusual for me. A generous friend of mine asked if I'd like a piece of 5160 that he had laying around, I said "sure, I'll use it". He told me that it was already in the shape of a knife blank and to do with it what I liked. When it got here it had a big finger guard, a very straight blade and a funky lanyard hole at the pommel.

     So I drew my template on  the pattern and made it my own. I dropped the point considerably, did away with the "guard"  and the squared pommel. What came out was the Mississippi.

     When I completed it I originally thought I'd only make it the one time but I had enough interest in the knife that I made it part of the regular line. As for purpose: The Model 3 fits in between the Green river and the Missouri in size. It works well for people who like bigger knives for their main woods knife.

**note this knife will be going through a slight design change in 2013, please see the website

in the next few months for the updated version**

    Options available: Pretty much anything. A hidden tang version is also available.
