Rick you have defiantly set a standard for the rest of us to aspire to.
When it comes to knives and guns, what does NEED have to do with it?

Rick did a 3 finger for me with a special request for some Idaho elk bone I sent him, applied. My pics suck, but I couldn't be happier. If you have any better pics Rick feel free to post them up.... and thanks so much for a great tool that I will bloody this fall. The SLM rape whistle was a nice addition.

Woodson is on top of it.
That set of scales ate two 50 grit belts. I can rough grind 30 bevels with one belt at the correct rpm. Never saw anything like it.

Wow! And to think that I offered to trade the best gring on a three finger that I've ever seen last week that had those same old hard to find & grind scales with red liners and a severely tapered tang with a parson's sheath. Glad I turned down a rediculous counter offer. Wish Rick had more of those old school scale. Those last two knives are very nicely done. Be on the lookout, It's almost time for bloody pictures of steaming gut piles again. Fall is near! Temps in the swamp have dropped to the mid 90's & humidity is down to 98%. LOL

Did get in a couple new Menefee's. This one came in from Reno yesterday evening. Got home, set up the sprinkler for my 5 year old grandson, grabbed a brewski and a smoke and put it to work. Who needs a trimmer when ya' got one of RBM's blades. LOL And about 10 minutes later....... I have a feelin' that this one is gonna get used a lot. Best,....... and log ashes. GWB

I got to coon-finger that knife when it was being made. I'm sure Dale Howe will recognize it too. It's incredible...the amount of work that goes into these really good knives. Starting out with the rough materials that they do...and then turning them into a knife such as the one that GWB just posted...shows what true artisans and craftsmen these guys really are...!
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Don't see a whole lot of Rick's fixed blades with a guard. That one is sweet looking.

You and Rod Stewart......... some guys have all the luck Well since the cat knife is out of the bag, here is the second (actually the first chronologically) in stag.... and just to prove ol' Ricky Bob don't do anything "Badley) here's the flip side........ Best, GWB
