Heat treat is going to be done by Luke Swenson since I aint got my forge fixed back up and have no propane, this is more of a budget friendly knife. I had all the materials laying around and begging to be used. I recently returned from a hog hunting trip and only shot a 50lb Russian boar but my car killed a 250lb Russian boar that I didn't find until next morning when it was already too late but I can tell it didn't suffer and died right away, hit it in the head with my tow bar mount, yes car still survived. I will be sending it out for HT on Monday. Here are the pics, sorry about the quality, they were taken from my cell phone. Probably tweak the handle shape after I get it back from HT. So what do yall think of it?

Any suggestions for improvements? I think I have most of them solved.

LOL I aint got enough bumper left to kill anymore with my car just yet.
 
Looks like that will work for more than just pigs. About the only thing that I might change would be to put a false edge on it top of the clip. Thanks for sharing.

Well I sent it out today right at 11am to swensonknives for HT. I should have it back by beginning of next week.
 
That's a great looking knife.

It looks like a killer now. I like the straighter clip and the long guard. Sharp too. We need blood next.
 
You got it bro. Lemme get some gas money and I'll head up to my buddies place 8 hours away. He gave me an open invite to stay at his place on his 1500 acre ranch and he said he would provide the dogs.
 
Thanks dad. Just like I always do I eyeballed their positions. Can yall see the 2 pins in the guard? I epoxied the guard on and peened the pins.
