Dude, that looks real damn good...! Love those nice folders that Rick makes without bolsters, just like yours. Awesome knife.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Whoa...! That knife's got some fine lines. Hard to imagine a knife gettin' much better lookin' than that one is. That thicker, etched A-2 looks especially good on that one. Awesome knife. Love the sheath too.

Thanks Danny. It does mean a lot to coming from U.
That skinner is the hardest knife I grind except daggers. You use full contact of a 14 inch wheel due to blade height

I kinda' like that one Rick. How good does a funny looking football shaped knife like that cut? Or is it one of those knives made for sticking in a boot?

I bet that knive will melt into your hand. With Ricks grind just point it at a deer and it'll jump out of its.skin. it just looks like a cutter that means business.
When it comes to knives and guns, what does NEED have to do with it?

Love the sheath too. Wow, Imagine my surprise when I opened up the thread. First thing came to mind is "I've seen that knife before" In fact it was sitting right next to me as I started to type this........ I do love me some Menefees Kinda gone off the deep end on those this past year. I have the pleasure of gabbing with RBM from time to time and have expressed my love of Black Micarta, left hand cross draw sheaths and the semi-skinner blade pattern. Well what do you know. One came together. After some steel wool and Flitz it ain't so black. I may have screwed the pooch, but I ain't sending it back. [img]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/Blades/IMG_75551_zps5b209c82.jpg[/img]I do believe this one will work! Thanks Rick, with any luck I'll blood it next week Best, GWB

I had the pleasure of seeing the wood, now the picture. I can't wait to see the knife in person. Outstanding!!!!!
Don't mess with me, I'm too old to fight, too fat to run, so I going to have to kill you.

Rick that is simply amazing!! From the knife to the swamp Cyprus. Both pieces of art. Think of the things that wood has lived through and what has happened since it died. An amazing piece of history on an amazing knife. Truly outstanding on every level. Great work guys!!

Well that JB hunter above with the yellow micarta came in the mail yesterday. Very, very nice and attractive knife. The fit and finish is awesome, just seems to fit my grip. The sheath fits nice and tight. I like it so much I put it on my bed side table, nearly slept with it.

Very nice Rick. Love your work and the newer patterns. The Lannys Clip is a fantastic pattern IMO. Digging the CF with blue liners also.
BUT, I gotta ask---what's with the A2? I am both kinda shocked BUT very pleasantly surprised to see you offering it. The stuff will flat out cut IME. I like it slightly darkened also, which is very easy to do. It gets darker than D2 which turns more gray. It also does it faster. The A2 looks like more of a natural patina or stonewash. The D2 looks more like a bead blast almost.
Love the skinners also. I have been contemplating a small skinner/nessmuk type to go with my A2 Bark River Gunny and Canadian.....

Forgot to add---digging the bent gunstock knife as well, Rick.
Not sure how you "blacken" your knives, but I have a tried and true surefire method that is fast and easy and will produce extremely consistent results from very light to very dark, or anything in between. PM me if you may be interested.....
