That's a helluva knife. He can contour a handle, that's for damn sure. His are some of the nicest I've held. Just like it's so nice to pull a custom out of your pack to take care of a game animal...it'd be nice to pull that sucker out when it's time to fillet some fish. That'd be a great score for a fisherman that really values the whole experience.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Its serious Antlers I'd keep one,but I have the butcher,the small fillet,the catfish,and this one takes the spot for the big bad boy.. ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/VCM3/Menefee%203-8-2011/DSC04884.jpg) The chef knife is an 8" blade so you can see that big bowie is a moster fillet slicer ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/VCM3/Menefee%203-8-2011/DSC04892.jpg)

Takes some definite skills to gring a blade that long and that thin especially hollow ground on a 14" wheel. Ole Ricky definitely knows what he's doin' on those fillet knives.

I'm sure this one is long gone now since Rick took it to Blade, but I flat out love this knife. ![[Linked Image]](http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rickmenefee/018-1.jpg)

He has damned good taste. That is possibly one of my favorite knives you've made in a fixed blade.

Man, you ain't kiddin' that 3/16th really makes the taper dramatic. Bettin' there was a lotta metal moved to do those tapers. Love the jigged look.

The carbon fiber knife was my second try. I had to practice on one, I ground my name off it when i was tapering the tang. It really looks nice when when you use thick stock and taper both ends. I dont do it very often anymore because its a lot of extra work. One advantage it makes it blade heavy and the knife works for you when skinning.

Thats remington style jigging. The remington's from the 40's are some of my favorite knifes. Schrade peachsead jigging is also hard to beat. I am worling on one that will have peachseed style for a customer. either would be super skinners but i like the jigged micarta better for handle material.--cranky72
