It seems to me that it likely requires more skill to peen those pins in properly than it does to use Corby bolts. Those guys use a tapered reamer to ream the holes before they start peening, and the pins probably have to be annealed. There's so much more to making these knives, process wise and technique wise, than I realize...and it's always interesting to me to learn little things from these unique craftsmen.

No paid vaction for me!
9 inches

I just like to screw with Roy He gives and takes will. I value him very much as a customer and he likes the Corby's so I always put them in when asked. I like pins for the look and strength I have never had a handle come off after many years. When you peen the pin and taper ream its crooked from top to bottom. Corby"s are great - I just don't like the hassle.

Sometimes I just like the look of Corby's especially with micarta. Just depends on my mood. I think the hunter you made for me with that nice Amboyna Burl looks better with the pins and if I were going to use stag or dyed amber bone of some sort, I'd use pins also. It's all good stuff.

Those are very beautiful knives, love those handles, shape and scales, to bad they are sold that sucks!!

Next time I get a knife from you, I'll send you some of these as payment Rick.......

You wish...!

3 of these will go on my web-site for sale in the future. Could be awhile sheaths are hard to get.

It will happen sooner or later. I'm use to handling large things!

Just not anything large of his own.

Finished the sheath and knife today.
Bait master with orange g-10,taper tang
The Master baiter is made from Kryptonite and w/ Vince's advice It has double cryo cycles and triple temper. Strickland hit it out the park with a new design.

Larry finished the sheath for this guy last week. Second one like it. Contoured the horn on this one. Bose drop point with a slightly longer blade.

Looks like a similar blade profile to this on you made for me Rick..

Just a little longer blade is all.

Nothing boring about kryptonite

Finished this up over the weekend for myself. Don Hanson forged 3 inch round w-2 stock down to 3/16 for me. Skinner with slightly longer blade.

Nice blades!, those scales on that one Finn has is a beaut, what kind of scales are those.

That is Amboyna Burl.

Looks like a awesome all around knife.
