I like it Rick, this one along with the "Reno Skinner", "VCM Hunter" and the one you called "Mule Deer" all look really good to my eye. If you or anyone else has other pictures of those They are always great to look at. I may have to contact you and get my name on the list. I have Rocky's version of the VCM Hunter and use the heck out if it around here. Glad you like them. I have them all. I've used the Reno and the VCM. Just received the Mule Deer.

Thanks Out of the chute first of the year. 4.5 backpocket w/ horse Not much of a folder guy, but I really like that one. It's one on my list of knife patterns to consider. Love the holster too.

Does the family have any pictures they could share?

Vince, That is an interesting design that in the hand is wonderfully useful. I bought Rocky's version of that knife from you this past fall and have used it for everything from dressing out a mess of rainbow trout to skinning and processing four whitetails so far. I also use it often in the kitchen.

Thanks for the pictures! That is a good looking and very useful trio of blades.

I like the fish knife pattern just the way it is set up. That would be handy.

Rick got the pattern from Bret and added some dimension to the handle and used 5/32 stock instead of 1/8th. Has a nice full handled feel to it.

Michael Jordan once told me that no one likes name droppers.
I would like to give a shout out to sidewalks for keeping me off the streets
