Tough to top the hand rubbed finish on Gene and Charlie's knives.

Tough to top the hand rubbed finish on Gene and Charlie's knives. I like to look at a makers knife & say to myself ,"man he did a nice job on that" Its a great feeling,it keeps you in the want. Its a great hobby ,knife accumulating. Some call it a vice. I tell guys,if you go off on a bender,you can always sell your knives. Its not like an empty bottle,the day after.

Use it! You wont appreciate it until you try it out. I dont like makeing fish knives because they hurt my hands to grind.If i had 50 of them i could sell them tonight! Maybe sometime after the blade show i will do a group buy. I think everybody should have one for the kitchen. Mazzie is getting one in the next week or so. Remember, a good filet knife is outstanding for boning Deer and Antelope.
Back in the heartland, Thank God!

I have not butchered a animal in 20 years without one. Most useful knife other than a pocketknife a man could have!

Have to admit a woman taught me the virtues of a godd filet knife, was my Mom using a 40 year old Rapala wood handled filet knife on my first deer a few years ago. Still my favorite knife in my game pack.

Got to handle the stag ones at the sheath maker. I thought they were smaller than they are in real life. Rick out did his self on his hand rubbed finish on these. They are the best I have seen him make and he makes some nice knives.

I just got a look at one of Rick's newest fillets and that thing is beyond sweet. Gonna have to get you to teach me how to get that long thin grind to happen and the swedge is beyond fantastic.
