I’m lookin’ forward to seein’ it Sam. I think all of Rick’s knives are somethin’ special. The dude is as good at his craft (or better) as anyone I’ve ever known of has been at theirs.

Tapered tangs, swedges and hollow grinds…..

Rick is on point on all 3.

Lot of makers “taper” the tang.

BS. Rick tapers it to ‘nothin. 😍

Tease...


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

sadly, the 1911 is not coming along with the Chute knife. I will work with Larry Parsons for a sheath, but timing was critical, and I am just getting the knife now.
This scratches a long standing itch. smile

That really is something special. Congratulations! Just got a Lil’ Dumplin in green micarta with red liners so I’m all about your handle choice and the corbys. Exceptional knife.

Always thought that pattern looked really cool.
Never got around to copying it though. That may have to change.

Are those two piece scales or a stick????

Tim they are two pieces. I saw the work on progress photos, and there is a big slab of steel there.

Thanks Sam
Heck of a good looking knife.
Definitely would take on some extra effort to make.
154 steel????

That's really cool

I always liked the loveless chute knives. Rick did a great job on it, the loveless style bolts and green micarta are great touches

The Postman delivered today. Rick has produced another flawless knife. I am very, very pleased. I just can't take a good picture though.
