Another great looking design. Nice work Jerry.

 

[Steven Janik]

but...but..Bill... I'm from Chicago where we vote early and often.

 

[Jerry Bond]

Thanks Murph, that was before coffee one morning

 

[murphda2]

Before Coffee?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Does life begin before coffee for you old guys? Dang Jerry, I didn't think you took your first breath in the morning til you could smell the aroma of a fresh brew?

 

[Lagrange]

This is an enhancement based on input from Murph.

 

[Denny Eller]

Great designs, guys!

 

[Lagrange]

...and a slight modification for Steve J.

 

[Steven Janik]

That the one, Eric.
Looks great, lots of meat and should balance well.

Steve

 

[murphda2]

Eric, I'm honestly torn between designs. I'm not sure which I like best, your final two designs or Jerry's. I really like them all.

 

[Lagrange]

all of the designs submitted are good! Thats the beauty of this forum. The best part is that in the end, our troops win.

Eric

 

[Jerry Bond]

Alright Bill, where is yours? Probably put us all to shame. Jerry
BTW thanks for posting for me.

 

[Jerry Bond]

No Murph,ain't NO life before coffee. Sometimes I break me off a piece of yesterday's cold coffee 'till the good stuff gets ready, and MAN, sometimes that stuff is hard to chew up. Maybe that is why I designed such a hard knife to build. I made that design yesterday and it took me ALL day long. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it, If it ain't a hunter of some type
I don't care for it,you know me,[old-old-old school] E-mail me your addy just in case I get tired looking at it.
Your Bud, Jerry

abetter look at my design

heres a better look at the knife i put in the blade on this one is 5 inch tho

 

[Justin King]

My design submission

Practical Field Model, shown with and without a thumb ramp. The current pattern has a 4.25" blade, I will make a new one and pull the length back to 4" if this design is chosen.
OAL will be approx. 8.75" with the adjusted blade length.

 

[BRad704]

Justin, I really like that rampless version... great flow to the whole knife

 

[Justin King]

Thanks, Brad! I prefer this model without the ramp too, but it is on the pattern so the option is availible.

 

[Mike Carter]

I'll throw a design into the ring.

 

[Denny Eller]

I'm liking that a lot, Mike. Nice design.
