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.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Super nice, Jud. I hadn't seen the sheath yet on that one, real nice. That redwood and the green liners go great! And who doesn't love a nice thin tang?

That's a doozy Jud! Really like everything about it. I would never have thought to put those zombie green liners under that wood handle, but they look awesome!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Dammit boy!
That’s nice Jud.
I need to get Ricks list for the short dumplin he’s doing.

Gotcha. It does look longer - I'd have guessed closer to 4" which is why I asked

That's a beauty, Judman. Looks like it could be a great carry knife, too.

That is a beautiful cuttin’ iron that he made for you.
I’ve had the privilege of bein’ in his shop visiting with him and watchin’ him work several times. He is truly a one of a kind dude in all good ways. And his craftsmanship is absolutely second to none. No jigs or special devices that help him create those tapered tangs that go down to nearly nothin’ and the perfect symmetry that is clearly apparent on the knives that he creates. He eyeballs every bit of it and freehands all of it. And his knives are bombproof. Many would be surprised at the little things that he does to ensure absolute top quality in every aspect of the knives that he builds. He is without a doubt the best at his craft of anybody that I’ve ever met in my entire life.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
