He was willing to make changes for me to his standard design for the fixed blade Sodbuster. Larger handle, longer and thicker, and in my favorite handle material, Bocote Wood. He sent me this picture yesterday, the knife is inbound. I just can't wait!! Sam......

Have skinned 3 moose and a dall ram with it, it's probably the best knife I have ever owned. Congrats on the new blade. That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink. Steelhead

OP Mannlicher Campfire Kahuna Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 67,662 N. Central Florida, and Miami	The postman thinks I was stalking him today, as I was sitting on the curb when he pulled up. Gene has delivered FAR more than I asked of him. Not only is the blade flawless, and razor sharp, but the handle is simply to die for. Extra sized, and in fact on the card, Gene called it the "Big Guy Sodbuster". The knife is 8 inches over all, the handle is 4 1/2 inches long, and right at 3/4 inch thick. Just perfect for my fat hands. Sam......
