My dad told me he want's to order a knife from me....his own design.
I'm pretty sure partly to support my endeavor.........but I out-foxed him by giving him a voucher for one of my knives for his 73rd birthday in July.....
Got his design after some nagging......after some consultation the remainder of a Nicholson halfround was chosen...

dad's design
