Always impressive Art. I love those bolsters. Rick

Thanks again guys... you guys raise a good point. I've already lost a couple that way. These scales are really plain and boring in low light.....the edge is almost non existent...no drop point....not enough figure in the blade....hmmm...did I remember to heat treat it? There...that should do...

Thanks guys. Special thanks to you Art...for all the help you've given me since I started this hobby. Rick

Thanks guys....I appreciate the kind words. Rick

I've been working on this knife in between orders. I ran myself out of steel and figured I would finish one for myself while I was waiting. I wanted to keep it simple...but nice enough to not be embarrassed to drag it out of the sheath during hunting season. Just have to put an edge on it now...

That's a GREAT looking knife Art. Rick

Thanks guys...I think it was worth the effort to use the "old" Micarta. The newer stuff would have been to bright white and I think would have clashed with everything. Maybe could have found some beige micarta or something? Just thinking outloud, Thanks for the kind comments, Rick

Thanks Ken. The scales are some original ( circa 1970's) Westinghouse Micarta. I wanted some scales that were not so bright white and would yellow a little with age. Rick

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. Rick

Just need a little Obenaufs on the sheath and an edge on the knife to call this one done. This one required everything in my limited skill set to complete. Just hope now that it's what the"potential" new owner had in mind. .130 ADS 3 1/4" blade...8" OAL Carbon fiber liners/spacers...

Thanks for the kind comments guys...I appreciate the feedback. My biggest concern with the sheath is how to make it carry comfortably and ease of use. I'm thinking the drop angle may be too shallow. It would work for me but this little gal is still young (early twenties ) and flat and not as...

Thanks guys...I appreciate the kind words. Rick

I built this one for a local cowgirl to help her with her chores on the ranch...cutting the twine on hay bales etc. She told me she would like to have just a short, fat little knife and drew me a sketch. She told me a "plain steel" knife would be o.k. and she would like pink...but she liked wood...

Very nice Dan. Rick

Thanks for the heads-up rhino. That's a great tip. It's amazing how much I have learned from the helpful comments from all the veteran knife makers. Thanks to all of you who help us less experienced guys. Rick
