triple draw, double cryo, hollow ground on big wheel, cpm154 the stamp on the blade says 154cm simply because i am not spending 100. on a stamp that says cpm and i dont think theyre is a lick of diff in the two steels for the most part. The stag knife has a hand finsh and the micarta knife has a 600 grit as ground finish. I dont know who you are however i think by looking at some your post you know who's pattern it is.Thanks Rick Menefeequote=Lawdwaz] Here are a couple new pattern for me. I'm on a fixed blade kick! 3 1/2 drop-points One has sambar stag the other my own jigged micarta. My fav pocketknifes are the remingtons from the 30's and i think theyre jigged bone and swedge work is what draws me to them. Remington made a line of fixed bladed in the 40's that had jigged and checkered plastic handle after that you start seeing a lot of bakelite and delron being jigged with the trad-pocket knives. Blade thickness and end of the tapered tang measure about .010 [img][IMG] http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rickmenefee/bosedropstag003.jpg[/img] Those are great looking lines! I'd say those are going to be a hit. More specs please..........[/quote]

This is a new neck knife. I made it for the blade show. Its a one of but i kept the pattern and maybe if the mood strikes me we can do a group buy in the future. Its very small but steal a tool that will work if its all you have. I think it would be great in the boat or the farm when you need to do a small job. spec: name: The Dink blade: 154cm cryo treatment handle: fossilized walrus Teeny Weenie and features a taperd tang and swedge work

Rick, your web site looks great!
I carry a Charles May handi-scandi, which appears to be about the same size in my pocket. It's amazing what you can do with a knife that size. Mine's cleaned a number of deer and hogs because it's always with me. Let me know if you decide to make another one.

I have a 3 finger which a Guy Named Dan Burke started making in the 70's and he referred to it as this name. I mod the pattern he gave me just a little. A lot of cowboys carry it with a loopsless sheath in theyre pocket around this part of the world. I thought it might be a little big for a neck knife. Maybe get in the way?? The "DINK" is so small i think the neck knife sheath would be great for it and like your saying i think a guy could do a lot of jobs with it. I hollow ground it on a 14 inch wheel and its a whicked little tool. I have a couple fed law enforcemnt investigators buddys that called when they saw it and ordered one.

That is a great name. I have another neck knife in mind to build it looks like a mighty miget. DINK is the name of this model and will be so because of all the good memmories. that dink pattern might be called the "mighty miget"--cranky 72

Rick's a helluva guy who makes some great fixed blades and outstanding slip joints. He's a big ole' fella and some am I! Both from the country and love knives, Booze and smacking midgets! I can't wait to see the the "Dink" pattern. IT's going to be a neck breaker...

This another gman that works with me and dowell.He also makes knives. Vmc custom knives may have a few on hand ? I think he maybe fixing to get another load? First thing Vince told me theyre were no sharp corners on his knives. cra1 uses a knives everyday. Therefore he knows how a tool should feel! Bret is doing his heat treat @ present so you know its perfect. Vince also told me his grinds were thin. Grind and heat treat is everything! When i started makeing knives i could count on one hand how many knivemakers were in okie-land. For guys buying custom knives today theyre getting so many choices. What a great time to be a consumer! mtnman dont let him fool you, he's just a old softy, aint ya rick? i was just yankin ricks chain, he know how i am
