Hey guys. Can any of you give me the dimensions of one of Ricks Bradley's? Maybe post a pic of what you have as well. Thanks guys.

I think that top one is the perfect version of a Bird & Trout knife. I love that little one.

That's really some impressive work right there. I just don't know how custom knives could ever get any better than those examples. Form, function, fit, and finish are all as good as it gets. Each one is something a guy could be proud to own and use for his whole life.

Just as an example, and those of you who've held one of Rick's contoured handles in your hands know what I'm talking about...I've never seen anyone contour a handle so symmetrically, and just by eyeballin' it at that...! His contoured handles to me are as impressive as his handcut swedges and his blade grinds are. And takin' those tapered tangs down to fifteen-thousandths, again just by eyeballin' em'...that's just on a whole other level.

Well, I only own one of Rick's fixed blades, so not a great data set from which to draw a conclusion
But I thought, before I purchased the knife, that the tapered tang was for looks
But upon receiving the knife, it feels soooooo balanced
I'm "guessing" that because the knife is tapered at both ends, it puts the "heft" of the knife in the middle of your hand
My knife is a remarkable piece of craftsmanship, no two ways about it

...I'll try to snap a pic or two of the last one I got from Rick which was tapered at both ends. He made that one from 5/32 CPM-154 so there must have been a lot of sparks flying on that one.

Don't know Corby. Maybe Charley or Gene does. That's really some impressive work right there. I just don't know how custom knives could ever get any better than those examples. ...only thing missing is the Corby bolts...............
