swedges are not only attractive they actually reduce friction on deep slicing cuts.--cranky72

Long live the swedge.

Rick, when you say you listed a knife, where do you post it? I've went to your web site the last two times I've read that on this thread and can find nothing.

Anything that leaves the junture of blade and handle reasonably thick and thins the blade down is good.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Rick,

I see Vince has some of your knives with a tumbled finished. Can you tell us more about this? Is the completed knife tumbled in a media of some type, stainless steel perhaps? Is a special type of tumbler required?

thanks.....Jeff

I use ceramic media. I finish the knife just like I would any and then throw it in the tumbler. I like the look and feel.

Thanks Rick...appreciate the help as always.

I've got one in the works that will have Olive drab handles and is meant for a soldier, thinking that finish might be the ticket.

Friend of mine was kind today,dropped off a pair of keeper Fluke. 20" range . He told me the regs were lowered this year to 19".
It's nice to have nice knives to do your knife jobs.

Skinned & trimmed Fluke is really nice fillet

Nice Vince. I must admit they look much more appetizing on the plate than they do on the table. Kind of nasty looking things. Lol.
