I have designed the PH EDC with you in mind after a previous conversation It has a 4 3/4 x 1 1/4 inch blade with larger diameter wheel used for the birdshead to ease that potential hotspot but with the whole handle shaped with the elimination of hotspots being as important and is the shape for grip without a hard hold. The blade has enough point for getting under the skin for opening up with enough nose to facilitate that action, enough belly for skinning and enough straight blade length for long cuts (or if a bit of brush needs cut for a blind etc. I actually cut one out for you and have it ready for handle (black curve back micarta with OD canvas micarta scales at 120grit finish for grip even with wet (bloody) hands.
This one has brass CB bolster with ebony handle
