Beautiful work Rick.......... Should have some sheaths before Long. Larry has had lots going on personally. That helps to know. I emailed him about making a saddle for me and did not hear back.

I heard Rick's business is really slowing down and he is now offering 25% off folding knives and 10% off on fixed blades. Thinkin' you might be confused... Yeah, I guess I should let people know I was just joking or Rick's phone will be blowing off the hook tonight. If not, i'd of already been at the head of the line.

a visit to rick;s shop will enlighten customers as to why he does'nt answer many calls & e-mails since he is a part time maker alone while he's working. if not for his amazing lack of waste in his movements & almost no mistakes; his production would be a lot less. a true handmade knife that starts with bars of steel & sheets of liner material, slabs of handle material & small long rods of material to make the pins plus cutting of shields is no small achivement. i wish everyone could watch his grinding of the metal bars to the knife profile . believe me his handheld blade being finally profiled plus the very slim tapered tang is marvelous.--cranky72

I truly believe anybody can make knives. Most people are just smart enough to buy. You just have to dedicate your time to it and not give up easy. Thanks for all the nice comments from everybody. a visit to rick;s shop will enlighten customers as to why he does'nt answer many calls & e-mails since he is a part time maker alone while he's working. if not for his amazing lack of waste in his movements & almost no mistakes; his production would be a lot less. a true handmade knife that starts with bars of steel & sheets of liner material, slabs of handle material & small long rods of material to make the pins plus cutting of shields is no small achivement. i wish everyone could watch his grinding of the metal bars to the knife profile . believe me his handheld blade being finally profiled plus the very slim tapered tang is marvelous.--cranky72 I truly believe that is a God given talent.
