Never have handled a tanto, what are your thoughts? Looks like it would work well in the kitchen.

I showed one earlier in the thread,with not much comments on it.

Yeah guys sometimes you need to think outside the box.

Feels like,one of the best I've had. For anything,hunting,kitchen,camp,etc.

Three guys I know of have 'em,two are good friends & me.

The blade is pretty much a great boning/hunting,big fish fillet (big fish)

The handle is simple ,comfortable , for hard work,your hand is not cramped,no discomfort in any position.






For a big guy , Rick has a knack for making a knife feel delicate,like a fine cutting instrument,nothing clunky about them. A talented maker , I have owned & own knives,I'm certain,not too many in the world could replicate with comparable results.

Nice post Vince and another cool looking design from Rick. You know its not that far removed from the 16 bore design. I use my 16 bore ALL the time. It really is amazing how often I reach for it.

If guys new what I know about how nice they are to work with they would be fighting over the one 16 bore you have for sale.

Rick really does build wonderful smaller type straight knives.

It remains mysterious Randy,lol

I have small hands and the longest blade I can safely handle when gutting is 3". I insist on being able to place my finger tip beneath the blade tip when making my cut up the belly. Since I always have two knives when hunting this shouldn't preclude me from owning a longer blade but any more it seems I finish an animal with the knife I start with. And having moved to South Dakota the need for boning out an animal has fallen to near zero. I do like the looks of the tanto pattern, Rick does such a great job on his knives - I have another of his headed my way.

Ditto! Her had me when he named it "Mule Deer". Very nice pattern. I predict it will be my favorite. 3.5" blade, Micarta scales. Very nice. Looking forward to it.

The cocobolo!!!

Yowsir!!!!

Vince, I'm green with envy.LOL

Some guys have all the fun!

Best,

Reno, if you get the itch to send this down the road I'm your huckaberry!

Randy

I'll keep it in mind Randy. For now it is resting next to the Rams horn knife Rick made awhile back. I think picks of it are in the "trip to Ricks" thread. They make a nice pair. Gonna try to bloody them up next fall. Hopefully, they will get a bunch of work.

swedged hunters- contoured handles

Sent you a pm on green one.

This green knife was spoken for @ 1 o'clock thru pm. I don't want to make people mad. Thought this would keep me from trouble from Class guys. I was wrong. Will figure something else out.

I still have a 16 Bore and a nice bird n squirrel fs on my site

They just don't get any finer than these...!

If I were as good at my craft as Rick is at making his knives, I'd be a productive and accomplished mofo...!

You are Antlers. You're a good man.

very good- public servant when people life's are @ its worst.

Reno, congrats. What an awesome looking blade!!

Thanks Eric. I really like that one. Rick does some amazing work.

Received this one a couple of days ago. Weather has been wet and overcast, today the Sun is out and had a chance to take a picture. Really a nice pattern. Looking forward to using this one. Thanks Rick!

What pattern is that? I don't think I see that on Rick's website.
