Lathe profiled...

I have always thought a lathe profiled FS style knife would be rather interesting. By first turning the knife handle and blade profile and then milling/grinding the blade (two, straight edges) one could eliminate the weaknesses (handle/blade juncture and tip) of the original. I proposed this to Reeve a couple of years back but they said they were too busy to develop the idea. Perhaps they didn't like the small handle diameter that would preclude the addition of survival gear storage....
