Dave what is the handle material? Looks sweet.

Dude, those are exceptional.

you guys and your Dowells make me sick...............In a good kinda way


Carry on

Nice knives, nice pics.

I always enjoy action pics

Looks like some shade of G-10 perhaps. Bret needs to call that combo the 1-2 punch.


Mine was sided in carbon fiber. I have the identical folder, kinda like what Rick called the Western Trapper and the only change I asked Bret to do was to round off the butt/heal/toe or whatever Vince calls the back of the knife.



His EDC fixed blades are really nice..

I am not sure if he used a Micarta or G10, I just asked the material be a pure white and I would really like to see some pattern in the scales.




Nice set Roy!

Thanks Dave. That was when I was on my Carbon Fiber kick. I'm back to wood now.

White stuff is g-10. It seemed to be a little cleaner than white micarta.

That's cool...I've never seen white G-10, I've seen white paper (sometimes called ivory paper) micarta and white linen micarta. Of those two, I like the ivory paper micarta the best. But white G-10 sounds pretty cool to me.

Looks like I guessed right.....G-10 !. Bret does that get me a free shadow pattern now ?????


LOL

Top knife is lovingly referred to as the " RF Hunter "...



Same RF Hunter in Swedish Damasteel Bjorkman's Twist with Honduran Rosewood Burl scales..

Here's a little showing of some knives Bret recently built

First ,a Bird & Trout with M-4 steel @ Rc 65





A Drop Point, ATS-34 ss natural micarta

Some folders

A sowbelly,skinner blade, with " Barbed Wire Micarta"

3.5" linerless Zulu spear points


Natural micarta over black G-10








And Carbon fiber

Nice! I really like the looks of that Bird and Trout

That B&T kicks ass. I like that skinner blade folder too.

Brets knives are as fine as any I own. Pretty sure that the RF pattern above is the one that RDFinn sold me last year. Works for me as my initials are RF as well!

I agree that his Bird and Trout design is great looking. Wish I had one to match the RF.

twofish

Love the color of that micarta on that BT, and that drop point pattern is really sweet.

Vince, what would you call the micarta on the bird and trout, butterscotch?

Jason that is a vintage micarta Bret got from a knife maker friend of his. It is an ivory color,almost a bone white. I have seen a few others with that micarta from Bret,it is very nice
