Made this one from leftovers....leftover scrape of 1/8" cpm154 and some leftover faux blue line G-carta. I think it came out pretty good. Not sure yet what to do for a sheath.

That looks interesting. I'm thinking it might be useful in the fur shed.

I can't think of a single thing I'd use that for in a fur shed. Not much call for cutting boxes, opening mail, or sharpening carpenter pencils in there.....

Scraping horse hooves???
Scaling fish???

Nice work Jeff, you just keep gettin better👊🏻

I think Don pretty much nailed it, opening boxes/mail, sharpening carpenter pencils.

I'd use the bejeebus outta that cute little booger for the above reasons, and think up even more....

It can be yours.......

well then, so be it.....

I’d like to have one too.

Whittled some pencils into submission.....

Spread peanut butter on yer toast maybe?

Well it seems I just can't get a new knife and appreciate it for what it is...... So, I had to bubba-cize it to suit me better. The handle felt kinda 'boxy', and after giving it a look-see, I figgered I could easily improve the feel. Jeff had about an eighth inch radius on the scales, which left the bluelines down on the side and had a squared/boxy feel. So I chucked up a quarter inch roundover bit in the trim router and run it around the router on both sides. The lanyard hole was too close to the edge so it got into the radius. It worked perfect as the bearing just caught the steel all the way around. Done a little sanding and steel wool, cut a new lanyard and called 'er done. Then I used it to open the mail......

Looks good! Bet it grows on ya.

Had a scrap of green CF Kydex, so cobbled up a little sheath for it...

I like that radius a lot! You are braver than me to run it across a router!!

I went slow and kept my fingers outta the way.....

Kydex looks sharp.

Turned out really good. I like it.
