Received this from a forum member.Didn't love it at first, but I've been fondling it for a day and it's really growing on me. This will make a great deer knife as well as a B&T.

Looks good to me but in the hands is what helps to tell the tale.

That's a nice design. Once you start actually usin' it, you'll probably like it even more...! I really like that blue G-10.

IIRC I have only two of May's knives. Both are scary sharp with a toothy edge. The fit and finish on both are excellent. I would bet it is the same with yours. One thing for sure. You will not have to worry about laying it down and not being able to spy it.
Good stuff!

I love a good B&T pattern knife. What didn't you like about this one at first?

Good to hear it's growing on you.....
The handle was just a touch too slim for my liking.

Nice! And like GW said, you won't have to worry about laying it down in the grass and losing it.

I believe it will make a good skinner for such a narrow blade. I use an Ingram #4 to gutless debone and quarter deer for the backpack and it works very well for the chore. I plan on putting my Dowell B&T to work this fall doing the same. I have high expectations of Brett's M4 steel, really looking forward to wringing it out.

THAT is a beautiful knife...! Great design, and excellent choice of scales and jiggin' pattern.

Yeah man! I like that Slitter just fine. Both of these May knives look excellent. I like Mr. May's sheaths too.

Very nice indeed!
I have been in the queue for a Big Woods since November. Looking forward to it.
How long of a wait did you guys have?

A May Slitter paired with his B&T is a great combo.
