I'm looking for a small bird and trout now. I like that CRKT Biwa with the kydex sheath. Be perfect for trout, prairie chickens, and Quail this fall.

Just bought another Ingram. Semi skinner with Jade Micarta handle. It’s my new favorite…

To my knowledge Dale is not taking orders, and this one is not mine. Dale Howe put these two up on FaceBook and there is a story behind them. Perhaps he may tell it if he comes on this thread. I do believe it is 154 CM and weatherd elk w/red liners. Anywho, This pattern with weathered elk scales, MagnaCut steel and one of Dale's indutrial grade sheaths would certainly trip my trigger. IMHO, it pops! Ya!

Thanks Geedubya,
You’re right, that pair are Weathered elk with red liners and 154. A longtime pard’s birthday is coming up and one of the fellows in his crew asked me to make a matching pair. He brought me a set of horns from a raghorn that one of their high school friends had killed years ago. The friend passed away and this set was from one of their last hunts. Figured it was a damned fine tribute.

I have no desire or use for a big knife. 3” or so fixed blades. Like an Ingram B&T are where I’ve spent way too much money in the past and would continue buying. Just took delivery on an Olt #6 drop point a few weeks ago.
Exactly what you don’t like to make. Tim Olt's knives are beautiful and darn near indestructible. Between him, Hank Hammonds and Rick Menefee, I really don't need to venture any further for incredible knives. JMHO.

i've always wanted something with the rough dimensions of a K-bar. A 7-ish inch blade, but thicker and maybe a bit wider, with a drop point. a bit beefier hand guard than a k bar but roughly the same overall size and a stacked leather handle

I have not carried a knife in years given my employer not allowing it. I recently decided to carry a pocket knife and this Buck seemed to be ideal for me. It is an auto and sits in the pocket without notice.

I have to say I am a neophyte when it comes to knives, especially custom made. There are so many great knife makers, many of them here. Same with folks who are always willing to help you learn, for which I am greatful: Geedubya if I may name one. Dan Thornburg’s folders are out of this world (and a bit above my budget), but it’s only a matter of time before I grab one of his fixed blades which are of his unique and field tested designs. This guys knives - Night Watch Knives - have intrigued me. Appears he is a LEO and so his naming conventions reflect such. What I really like is his “war wash” on the blades. Might be silly, but it’s rather unique and that always catches my eye.

Yeah, I have a bunch of accumulated table stock that I am going to have to find a relatively easy way to unload. Slowing down a bit. My pics are not the best and tending to them on the computer is a bit of a pain. Tim
