I like your design alot better, Bill. Reminiscent of a gravity knife type handle with the etching....really cool...

I dunno. As pictured by OP, the knife has a funky 1950s Flash Gordon look.
Flash Gordon knife. I kinda like it.

Re: New Stiletto Style OTF
Perhaps you could get someone such as Benchmade to make a better version of the knife (in accordance with YOUR personal specifications.)
Now THERE'S an idea! What do you say to that Bill?

Unless the buyer wants to finance all of the production and tooling costs, Benchmade wouldn't be interested.

Re: New Stiletto Style OTF
I like the top bolster, but they should have taken your suggestion Bill. The flared out bottom bolster was or is the way to go. I also think the handle is too smooth it needs some type of design for a better grip. The blade fine I have no issue or opinion one way or the other.
