Sorry, no finished knives on hand in those patterns.
Maybe some 24HR customers have pics of either or both to share.
I might have pic in cell phone that I could text you, but will have to check.
Thanks

I might add that I have a limited amount of S35VN blanks and sheet stock on hand and
at this time no definite plans to buy more steel, so there could possibly be a
pattern that I could not fill at this time. Just depends on orders.
Thanks
Tim

A sheet of S35VN is now ordered. Will be a while getting steel, cutting out blanks, surface grinding
the mill finish off, cleaning up profiles before I can drill and grind blades. Then heat treat. Be a while,
but I have a couple blades from previous run that I can fill a couple orders sooner with.
I will be in touch when time gets here.
Thanks
Tim

Got a batch of 36 blades ready to queue up for heat treat. As noted before, I use
BOS Heat Treat. They do a very good job. They are attached to Buck Knives and
have treated all their blades for eons.
Thanks

#7 (Bully Bob) for me if you have a blade available.
Scales to be determined at later date!

No problem. Want applied finger guard or a finger notch instead????
Thanks
Tim
PS: My bad on the readability of my patterns, but the Bully Bob is a #1
it just looks like a 7.

BTW, Here is a "Thank you Sir" as well as a shameless plug and shout-out! I have approached 3 makers to take on this project. A copy of a Knives of Alaska "Muskrat" with modifications. Tim was gracious enough to give it a try and boy did he hit it out of the park. S35Vn steel and buffalo horn. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Mlgr5Zh.png) razor sharp for +/- 180degrees. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/8AaFs5s.png) ought to make a swell "caper". ya!

I’ll take a #4, 5 inch boning knife. Don’t rush as I don’t need it till end of October. Please PM me the scale options. Thanks
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

OK, you are in.
But guys, I have already sent this batch of blades for heat treat so there is a limit to how
many extra blades there are for this run over what was spoken for.
Next run will be probably next year.
Thanks
Tim

That is a Michigan Slim and I should have an extra blade for you.
Pattern shown is the standard model, but also do some with a slight drop point.
PM coming your way.
Thanks
Tim
