How about a group buy on this model (without the jigging)? I like the jigging a lot...but I realize how much extra work it is.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I never saw him make that model. Must be something new. How about a group buy on this model (without the jigging)? I like the jigging a lot...but I realize how much extra work it is.

Is this a Hunter model? Tapered tang? Group buy candidate? Very Nice +1 on the group buy.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Here's the mate to my " RF Hunter " in brown canvas micarta. I live the black jigged with orange liners but this brown micarta is my fave.

Me too...although I would rather have the blade profile of the one above it.

Ya'll are confusing me now. My preference is the handle on #1 that seems to flow better with a drop point and the round butt of #5 with a skinner. I like the yellow Micarta a lot but Vince said that probably would not happen, second would be green and third brown. Jigged Micarta does not look like antler to me, so I prefer smooth. And since I am saying what looks good to me, I think the hollow grind and swedge is much nicer than the flat grind of #4. #7 and #8 looks like a smaller blade version of #1, may just be my eyes. All in all, I just think #1 in Micarta is a bad to the bone knife! #1#2#3#4#5#6#7[img] http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/RDFinn/P1000133800x584.jpg[/img] #8[img] http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/RDFinn/P1000132800x533.jpg[/img]

i might be wrong but i think 1,2,3,and 8 are the same pattern, 5 and 6 are the same, 4 and 7 are different, matter of fact i think 7 is a blend of 1 and 4, 4 is hollow ground, he just took it way up

I asked him to take the handle of the semi-skinner and combine it with a drop point blade almost the same as the one pictured in #8, but with slightly less drop. Mine also has a cut swedge and the DP's pictured all have file work.
