My 12 ga is Ricky's proto model. No cool tapered tang....
That right there is the knife that inspired me for this build Don. 👍
Got rocky doin another 16 with those scales you sent me. 👍
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Here’s a pic Rick texted when I ordered mine, the yellow and middle blade are what folks refer to as the “12 bore”, the one on the right is the “16 bore”. Hope this helps. My next order will be the middle one, maybe call it the “28 bore “?

Those scales are thick for that little knife. He'll have to really slim them down....
Don can you post a pic of those scales please? Thanks

Copy that. He wanted a pic of the material. If it’ll work ill run it, if not I won’t ruin it, I’ll just do another build, as I’m a sentimental fuucker, and I appreciate the scales/love ..

It'll work. He'll just have to thin it way down....... He could damn near rip one side in half on a bandsaw and have 2 splits thick enuff for both sides.

I’ll post a recent pic tomorrow, the butterscotch micarta darkened up quite a bit, actually like it. Either Rick or Rocky said it would, like it more aged actually. 👍

Rocky made me a couple a few years back with butterscotch.
Turned to a chocolate color.

Here’s mine after a year, I like it better now Dave.

Rick was kind enough to modify one for me to give as a present to my best friend. I think it may be the best example of a one-and-done hunting knife I've seen. I think Rick calls it his small dumpling or small boner or something like that. We call it the "humpin' dumplin'" because my friend humps it up the hills after mountain game.

You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Thanks, my friend is in love with them. He totally gets off on the "Proto" mark like on Don's 12 above. It is pretty cool! I'm going to get Rick to make me up a set for myself when I get settled after season.
