Agreed. It's a nice basic design that looks like it would fit the hand well. Blade is shaped for business. Plus, it has a cool swedge(which I'm always a sucker for).
Nice buck Rick..........

Nice one Rick. Been slow here, but my boy is still sure he's going to get the job done. He would fall over if he saw that thing walking towards him.

Been Hunt-en w/ Rusty 4 days. Hunted w/ The oldest girl the first 5 days she never missed a lick. Starting again tonight hopefully the weather wont get to bad in the next few days. Fill like I'm guiding 9 year old Marty STuFFER. She turned down a handful and we ain't hunting at home! watched A giant w/ 15 walk by a thicket were you killed your big whitey thru the Leica over mile. Next year I will own him. Saw a set a stinger went thru that jumped over the Bc book.:)

He looks happy. Like those shooting sticks. Better tell him to start mentally preparing. Breaking something to lead that weighs 50-100 not for the girls.

Been trying to work with Kydex a little. This is the system I have came up with that works well for me. One of the problem w/ Kydex is it scratches the blade. Sand, dirt, blood gets inside the case and you can't get it out. I made a set of spacers to set on the blade while forming the sheath. It gives .040 gap on both sides and a hole at the bottom. It can be washed out eliminating the crud build up thus reducing the risk of scratching. I have something in the works to eliminate the hole coming from the side and to make it go out the bottom. The pressure on the opposite side holds the blade in place until you push the tab. BD does something like this also. I can't seem to get his system done with it appearing crisp and clean. Push on the tab and it releases the knife

Rick I think the kydex work you are doing is coming along very nicely. I like your systems! Here is an eye candy picture>>>>>>>> Top knife is a Bose pattern Drop point. This knife plus a few others will be made available soon,for Christmas . The middle two are hunter's Tanto's. Awesome knives,one is headed to a friend of ours & the cocobolo is headed to N.Y. The bottom is the classic Loveless drop and is listed on my site,in the "What's New" section,it will/is,available. Awesome stuff Rick. Stay warm everyone & Happy Holidays

That looks real fine. I like that natural canvas micarta that you use quite a bit. The knife looks great, as does your Kydex. Nice job. Simple, rugged, exceptional quality.

Eye candy for sure...! That top knife is really super sweet, and the bottom one is an absolute favorite of mine. It's a stud knife all the way around. Black paper micarta finishes out so nice...!

Dale Dale I have that whole set in that material & I've been on a wood kick lately so I chose the cocobolo one. The fella who is getting that butterscotch one ,he passed on it,then came back to claim it. There's alotta guys wanting Rick's knives. I have two small ones listed & available FS on my site.
