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..... First time I used the material it was a regrind on bark river and I liked it. Its one of the few carbon steel's which air harden. Which means the maker has very good control of heat treat. I use Starrett so you know its high grade american stock.

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? very hand friendly. I suspect a maker could find the hafting material for some trade.

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. 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 Gee I made the second from the east for you. If the holster is a screw up send it back. I'll get a lefty and be forced to used the other myself Looks like you have had some successful hunts as for knives.

It's perfect. Ya gotta remember I think like a lefty. Here's how I prefer to carry. Pistol on my left behind the point of my hip bone. Fixed blade knife on the right between my hip bone and pants button. I like to have the blade cross draw and edge down. Easy to access with my left hand and if I'm sitting the sheath don't interfere. That to me is left hand cross-draw. Purrrfect. GWB

ME, My all time favorite is the 41 Rem. Mag. But 44 Special, 10mm Mag, 45 ACP and 40 S&W work pretty good also. From time to time I end up tracking hoglets I've shot that are not DRT. Usually it's at night after dark with a flashlight in one hand, a pistol in another either hunkered down or on my hands and knees following a blood trail through juniper, over rocks and through cat claw and cactus. I've come to like having a bunch of "freinds" accompany me. I know he don't look very big, but that is 190 lbs of FUGLY. Even though I'm 5'8" and 195, I think he could take me unless I had an advantage. I�ve kinda graduated to the 10MM For years my EDC in town and at the lease was a Glock 36. I figured 7 rounds of 230 gr. hardball ought to work just fine. However after putting 7 in the porker pictured below over a space of 5 paces or so, and having this hoglet drop at my feet while I was pulling on an empty chamber, I decided that 15 rounds or there abouts, was not out of the question. The boy in the picture had shot this dude at 120 yds with a 243 Win., and he ran. I saw where he ran into the brush and was showing the young man how to track. Don�t know what I was thinking taking him in the bush with me, but we get about 50 yds in and the hog charges us. I push the kid out of the way and the hog runs between my legs and knock me over. Luckily he didn�t hook me or come back after me. I got up and I went on in after him. When I found him again he charged again. This time I was ready with my pistol in my hand. That was the moment when I decided I wanted about a dozen more "friends". So for the next 5 years or so I carried the model 35 long slide. I got a deal I couldn�t pass up a while back on the model 20SF and now it is my EDC/hog thumper when I�m at my lease. Best, GWB
