Rick, you said you were going to start making more fixed blades instead of folders last time I talked to you looks like your headed in that direction and if they are for Vince we might see some for sale on here hopefully

I like making fixblades because its mindless work.For several years i have not made very many. I will make a few everymonth now. I have enough orders for pocketknifes to keep me busy for several years but i have missed making fixed blades. Its a pure pleasure to use blades that have been thinly hollow ground on 14 and 18 inch wheels. They cut like know other!!!!

Well I promised you guys I'd show this set. The pics aren't so good but it is what it is. I want to thank Rick ,he made this special once in a lifetime set possible for me. Thanks, -Vince The fork ,cleaver & meat flattener were tools I had from when I was in the restaraunt business.Rick re handled them in the same butterscotch paper micarta,as the knives.The cleaver,because of the handle size had to be a different material,but it's close. The parers in the middle is what the stuff looks like delivered,but it turns in color to the fillet,butcher & Chef. The slicing bowie is in between age & is mellowing in to color. Here is a spread for size Stay cool,enjoy & Thanks, -Vince
