Sounds like I will need to do a batch in 2023 and incorporate the Snub Nose into the line up with 5 spoken for already.
PS: the handle material like on the Mannlicher knife is all gone.
Thanks Tim
Sam----What is the oal of that knife??? 6 and 3/4 inches from tip to tail

Tim If you do another run of the S35V, I would like one of the Michigan Slim knives but with the original design, not with the drop point.

Tim I’m blown away again. I’ll buy a different pattern in your next batch. My two knives from you are the best steel I own. I’ll be a customer until you chose to stop making them. Broke my newest from this fall’s batch in on our Thanksgiving Turkey. Sharpest knife I own. https://imgur.com/gallery/5cLUSv6

The original pattern Michigan Slim is one I should have gotten. I do have a few others from Tim though. This picture shows the long and the short of my Olt knives. lol Funny story. I had recently bought a custom knife from a friend. It was an O-1 tool steel camp/chopper that was 12” long and what I thought was a big knife. I bring it on a 24hrcampfire hunt/camp out and Sam is there doing camp stuff using that sword he calls a knife 😂. He lets me look over and handle the blade from this Tim Olt guy 🤦🏼♂️ I had never seen any of his work before. It made my 12” chopper feel like a filet knife! The quality of the steel and edge made me pay attention enough to mark down that I needed to get one of this Olt fella’s products. Fast forward to last year and I get my first, just got my second this fall and want more.

As this build is winding down I can really use a break from building knives.
I will be working on a 2023 build soon. Gonna focus mostly on the patterns that have been selling well, but will have at least a couple of each of the other patterns shown at the start of this thread.
I think I will add some of Sam's small knife the Snub Nose since I have 5 spoken for already.
I also am considering a small Semi Skinner pattern as I have that also spoken for.
Sometime in near future (maybe January) I will start a new thread for the 2023 build. I will be using CPM S35VN steel again.
Thanks for all the business so far and feel free to keep posting on this thread, especially if you have bloody pics or stories to share. Thanks Tim

Just got these in from Tim Olt. Have not had the pleasure of breaking them in yet, Big Slicer, Michigan Slim (drop point) and Bully Bob! The Buffalo horn on the Big Slicer is exquisite. The Rosewood burl on the two smaller knives lend them toward making a sweet combo! Thanx, Tim Olt. ya! GWB
