Vince looks like this one is up to three on a group buy half way there

ew, ew, how much for one with weathered elk scales ?
i like the slim handle and long tapered blade.
i could dig that knife. i do not like blades that have blunt looking tips. i know i am not using the correct terminology for what i'm trying to say, but for me a long tapered blade gets under hides better, compared to a more blunt tip that the hide has to be forced up and over in a short distance.
yeah, please gimme a price for one. christmas is coming and my wife is bugging me for what i'd like.
a knife to me from her is personal, and has more meaning.
oh, and i have a BIG weather 6x elk shed we can use for the scales.
and if this can work maybe with some mods, please drop the rear hook. i'd like mine more rounded and straighter.

You'd probably like something like this one then. Go to the reply tab on this post, click it, and view this photo in a larger size

ahhh, it needs a lil drop on the top to the point, and the finger groove point needs to be slimmed down.
more like the knife above it.
but the rear is perfect.

When I got that knife from/through Vince M, he was telling me how comfortable it was going to be in the hand. I have owned a [bleep] load of knives from May, some from Ingram and a few from Hendrix and none of them feel like that Menefee in my hand. I realize knives are a personal thing, but that particualr Menefee is my new favorite. Rick makes alot of patterns, so I'm sure he's got something that'll please ya.

Can't say for sure how old this is cause it's not mine (I also photoshopped the pins and lanyard out of the pic) but this one looks like it has a little drop to the point.

kinda, a bit less thickness on the rear, more cigar shaped, like the wood scaled one, and the blade from the above knife.
154cm steel,no powdered cm, minimum 3" to 3.5"'s, and wood or weathered elk scales, and you'd have a sale if decently priced, from me.

Got to talk with Rick or perhaps Vince M can help you. If it wasn't for the group buy thing, I think folks would have to wait a long time to get one from Rick. I know Rick has years of orders worth for his slipjoints.
