Here is a knife Rocky recently built for me. It is similar to his brothers 16 bore, with green micarta over orange liners. The steel is AEB-L.The green is lighter than what the photo shows.

Looks good! Rocky has skills and builds a well done knife.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Very nice knife I like that pattern quite a bit
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

I believe it was Dale Howe that told me that he was relating a statement that was attributed to Tony Bose that goes something like this. May not be a word perfect rendition, but should convey the sentiment. "What knife would you rather own. Something stamped out by a kid chained to a machine in China, or one from someone doing what he enjoys, who crafts each blade individually and with attention to quality and detail" Years ago there used to be a saying. Support live music, hire live musicians. I figure I'd much rather someone I know and like have my hard earned dough than someone I don't know or don't like. I have had the pleasure of speaking with all the fellows from whom I've purchased their knives directly. I tell them the general parameters of what I want, ask for their input, then ask them to use their imagination and go where their fancy leads. I have yet to return a knife. Perhaps its egocentric of me to think that they might have me in mind when they are crafting my knife, and that maybe, just maybe, I can have a small part in their success. I'd like to think so, cause I sure have them in mind when I'm skinning a critter with one of their creations. Rocky Menefee's version of his brother Rick's "16 bore". AEB-L and ebony. I call it my "sweet-sixteen" Rocky's 16 bore and my birthday Tom. All in, all done. JAPPF, GWB

G could have a nice sideline career in product photography. When I try to take pics I just wind up pizzed and frustrated. And yes Rocky is A+++.
When it comes to knives and guns, what does NEED have to do with it?

G could have a nice sideline career in product photography. Dale, with all due respect, Prolly not! It's like this. I make jerky, cook, give away game meat, reload for about 60 different chamberings, refinish gunstocks, tinker with rifles, take a few pix. From time to time folk ask me to do something along these lines. They offer to pay. I tell them no. Those things are my "avocation". They can't be bought, only accepted(actually I'm sure I have my price, no one's offered enough yet,LOL). If I were to take pay, then someone would have a claim on my time and efforts.........
