Yep, normalized, sorry new at this, still learning the lingo. The wood was used out of convenience on the first two since I already had it laying around, then I opted for the G10 on the third for convenience in cleaning and durability. After I knock a few more out I may look into the removable scale option. Kydex seems like a solid go to for the sheath on these. Scrub them out, dry and good to go. As far as leaving the top of the tip flat, it just seemed more conducive to the design for me, especially when working around things you don't want to puncture. I'm anxiously awaiting field testing notes from the folks that I'm giving these to, so I can modify the design accordingly (it's going to be a minute, with deer season 7 months away), so for now these are just an exercise in learning more than anything else being the first three knives I've made. I'm sure these will get refined, and better with every one, that's the hope anyways! Thanks! The handles really are incredibly comfortable and easy to index for their intended purpose.
