I'm a huge fan of Rick's knives but his flint really turns my head. What's the story behind that beauty? Plus, I'm betting it comes with a matching knife.



Good Lord that is an alluring picture of a flintlock.... I have never fooled with one of those and now suddenly I need one..... Something in maybe .36 for squirrels and varmints Matching knife to go with it..... Hmmm, think it is time I sold off some guns that have just been gathering dust in the safe.....


Please don't feed the trolls!

I have handled that rig and it is better in person. I'll let Rick tell the tale, but holy chit don't even begin to do it justice.

One of my most prized possessions. I started it and my father in law took over and finished. Everything is 100% hand made other than Douglas spout. All parts sand casted and forged-2 year project. My father-in-law is a true Gun maker. He no longer does much due to bad eyes and age. Did a lot of stock work years ago for Champlin Firearms In Enid Ok. Made lots of guns- skilled machinist made actions thru barrel's. He was a Game warden I a poacher. I married his daughter so he was forced to help. The End.

i also was fortunate to hand examine this fine rifle. perhaps the moat beautifal gun i've ever seen. rick always takes a deer each year with this wonderful piece. one factor is you have to really hold steady about a second & a half after pulling the trigger.---cranky72

Just ordered a 20 1/8 inch contact wheel for hunters with over 4 inch blade. hopefully by late spring I will have a machine up and going. What you will get is even more of a flat grind on bigger knives but the first 3/16 behind the edge it will be thin.
Should cut like know other!

Lets see how it goes. May not make much diff. Expensive test!! It wont make a diff until you get close to 3/4 wide and 5/32 thick. 1/8 material should be better with thinner knives. The only thing it will do is allow less material removal when sharpening.

I bet that 20" wheel will make a badass filet knife.
