Good Golly, that's sexy!!!

All those guys build great knives. There are too many to mention great makers to mention, but Dale Howe builds a top shelf boning knife as well. I used a T. Bose proto & a Ploppert knife like yours to debone 8 hogs and one whitetail this past weekend. A2 is some wicked stuff. Skinned most of them with an A2 drop point as well. Those fillet blades are very thin and flexible, yet tough as hell. I don't know how they do it. Never thought I'd like A2 carbon steel so much. The fillet knives make short order out of 40 pound redfish bulls too. Thanks for posting the pictures Jason.

I used the fillet knife and it's so light and balanced. Cuts like a friggin laserbeam. Tom makes some unreal folders too:

America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Very nice! How long is the blade?

MadMooner - Blade is approx 5-1/4"; Handle 4-3/4". He also makes a smaller version which I think will be in my pack next fall:

Thanks Dale! To be clear, only the larger fillet is mine. I believe that 5 blade stockman is headed to the spring show in Lauderdale.
