I would like to have one. I think that knife would look good with my ancient Walrus pecker knives.

Rick, is that a variation on the Western Trapper? Kinda' looks like a Zulu Spear point. That knife looks like the perfect EDC. As always, fit, finish, & evenly contoured scales are as they should be. I'm not the biggest fan of swedges, but that knife is so tastfully done that it would be a must. Perfectly parrallel with the nail nick. Damn that's nice! Bottom line is, I want one too. Group buy Vince? If so, put me down on spot #1 in case I miss the posting that will sell out in minutes.

October is getting close. "Small" group buy is a loosely defined term. 10 sounds like a nice round number to work with though. LOL Lots of tedious work involved in producing such a product out of rough steel. Is that pattern about 4" closed? 154CM?

Steelhead,

With that great textured handle, I could sure see that knife being put to great use boning a moose or deer, or on a fish.

Having had a sharp knife cut through a belt sheath and cut me decades ago when I fell, I can appreciate how that particular style puts double the stitching and lots of extra leather between the knife's edge and one's tender hide too!

Today, I always have one knife in my pocket, and carry a fixed-blade knife in my pack, but with that sheath I'd not worry about being cut even on my belt.

Hard to think of any way to improve on that knife OR sheath!

OK! I have to run now before the shops close, but I will be back on the computer tonight.

I have had lots of problems with PM's but they seem to have resumed working again and (as far as I know), I have got all the PM's sent to me in the past 6 weeks or so.

Nothing worse than a flimsy sheath. If I'm doing any type of humping there isn't a sheath knife on my belt.

I have never owned a knife with A-2 blade steel. I've heard that it is a very tough steel, but will require some care. I like a knife that has a patina, so stains won't bother me at all. My guess is that Rick will likely run them pretty high HRC like he does most other steels. Please give us some feedback on how your A-2 knife performs compared to other steels. BTW, great looking knife/sheath combo.

It's my first A2 as well. I have several with O1 for stain comparison.

Sheath is horsehide, which I like because I've never trusted those SOB's.
