How about a group buy on this model (without the jigging)? I like the jigging a lot...but I realize how much extra work it is.

I never saw him make that model. Must be something new.

Very Nice +1 on the group buy.

Thats a nice looking knife Antlers but I vastly prefer the handles on the knives Roy posted. Any model with that handle is easily my vote for the group buy...

Yes it is! Fortunately I get to look at it every day

Put me down on any group order, Vince!

I live the black jigged with orange liners but this brown micarta is my fave.

Me too...although I would rather have the blade profile of the one above it.

You mean this one ?

Ya'll are confusing me now.

My preference is the handle on #1 that seems to flow better with a drop point and the round butt of #5 with a skinner.

I like the yellow Micarta a lot but Vince said that probably would not happen, second would be green and third brown. Jigged Micarta does not look like antler to me, so I prefer smooth.

And since I am saying what looks good to me, I think the hollow grind and swedge is much nicer than the flat grind of #4.

#7 and #8 looks like a smaller blade version of #1, may just be my eyes.


All in all, I just think #1 in Micarta is a bad to the bone knife!

i might be wrong but i think 1,2,3,and 8 are the same pattern, 5 and 6 are the same, 4 and 7 are different, matter of fact i think 7 is a blend of 1 and 4, 4 is hollow ground, he just took it way up

I don't need this knife, but boy do I want one!!!

#7 is the new pattern I had Bret make-up. I asked him to take the handle of the semi-skinner and combine it with a drop point blade almost the same as the one pictured in #8, but with slightly less drop. Mine also has a cut swedge and the DP's pictured all have file work.

Brett's going to love this!

Yes, I discussed this with Bret, and when we do the group buy, we are going to have three spots,three lucky guys will get a knife with a choice of 96 combined posibble options.

i talked to him today vince and he said he would do a group buy of 25, he picks the pattern but you could have any other options you wanted, let the fun begin, ha

on a side note i picked up a prefect little folder from him today that he made for my boy, i'll try to get pics of it after christmas

To be delivered at an undetermined time in the future, right ?

i think by christmas, just go ahead and start taking the orders vince, it will be alright

96 options. How would I ever make up my mind?? LOL. When you thinking on the group buy Vince?
