Lots of you guys know I homeschool (5 boys!) Part of our curriculum is doing REAL stuff in the REAL world... This is one of the latest... My 15yo son, Alex, is bringing the Budget Bushcraft Pack Skinner back to the RainShadow Shop! Had a TON of people love these little knives! Made with sawmill bandsaw blade steel and micarta grips, sheathed in kydex thermoplastic. Shaving sharp, amazing edge retention and toughness, handy and cheap! This one is SOLD... He's planning to make more as he has time, so they can be ordered. Alex is meticulous and detail oriented, he's learned under supervision (and the heat treating will remain under supervision, these are wicked cutters, and they will always be.) His work is as good as mine on these! This one is now representative, the style and size is almost always the same. 7 1/2 OAL, give or take. Let me know if you want to order one. The time frame will vary, but no payments will be accepted until you approve the finished work! $50 delivered ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49494367807_e6105c1bb2.jpg) budget1b by Steve Tormala, on [bleep] ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49494367842_f35ca6c32b.jpg) budget1a by Steve Tormala, on [bleep]

I will take one just to support your efforts. PM me when ready with payment details.

Thanks Mikes! I'll put you both on the list.
Brown micarta, and it's possible to find some black, but not guaranteed. I don't have any white. (Once he gets built up a little he can buy his own materials! Won't be for awhile, he's gotta do school sometime, and I coparent him and he doesn't have any shop at his mom's.)

Great job teaching that young man!

Thank You Bill, ihunt, and Duckhunt… Really appreciate your supporting him in this.
We were just talking about insurance and gas money when he turns 16 in May, and how he was going to cover that himself....
The timeline might be getting pushed out there now, and he's scheduled to switch to his mom soon. I have him half the time, two weeks on and off. I'll keep him moving when he's here, and there will be no obligation when I do get back to you. Buy if you want to then. Hopefully it won't be too long, but some of you might be the end of the month.

You're on the list poleman.
Options, No not yet, he needs to make some money on the brown that we already have before he branches out and buys micarta for himself!
I'll keep the thread posted as he gets knives done and approved by me, and then by those of you on the list.

I'd take one just like the top one of the 3 pictured. If you wouldn't mind emailing me when its ready, I'll send funds asap. thegman1763  gmail.com will find me every time. I'd love to help your son as my wife and I (OK, mainly the wife!) homeschool our daughter. When she gets older, she's likely gonna build AR's with me so I have some of the same pleasures as you to look forward to. Kindest regards, George
