Speaking of a Dorado,


A while back, IIRC, Ken Honeycutt featured a pix of his model 50, I think it was, with green buckeye burl scales. I only have one other blade with buckeye burl and so I contacted him and asked him to do one for me with the green buckeye burl.

After I received the knife I inquired in regards to the "Dorado" label versus the model 50 label. He indicated that he'd named that model the "Dorado" as the heel of the handle reminded him of the head of a Dorado fish.



Ya', I can see that.


Anyway, like all Ken's stuff this one is mighty fine in its execution and has a sharp toothy edge.





It was a stormy wet afternoon, that, so in conjunction with a Remember Goliad Doppelbock, the knife made short work on the silver-skin of this beef tenderloin, not to mention the meat slicing capabilities. One batch of jerky coming right up.



Anywho, a couple more pix of the whole enchilada.......






and what a guy,

I had mentioned to Ken, that with knives this sharp, I usually nick myself sooner or later.



not only did Ken send me a band-aid, but included another for sensitive skin just in case .

Yup, give a little more than what's expected and you'll always have biz.

ya!
