Wow. LIKE LIKE LIKE Indeed, we appreciate what we have a lot more after seeing what it takes to make one.

Here's a little B&T I just finished up with a little bit of a bowie attitude. 6 1/2 " OAL of 1/8 D2.

Still think this is a kick-a$$ design. Think of this design with some of those neon green G-10 scales and thick black liners...or with natural canvas micarta scales and thick yellow liners. Dayum...!
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Well Danny, I have one with black and toxic green glued up and 1with yellowish makarta and yellow liners ready to vlue up and one with the yellowish makarta and black liners teady to glue up. All with tapered tangs in that same pattern. One not decided on the scales yet. And 4 others of a different pattern I havent scaled yet. I'm always open to suggestions. Trying to get ready ffor the Wannamaker show. Menefee has been nudging me to do more tapered tangs. Monday night I set my mind to it and tapered 9tangs and didnt even have to toss one. (Sigh of relief).

Well,Atkerson just in>>>> Dale sent this D2 knife today,I saw a picture of this and liked it. It has the Parsons pocket clip sheath witch is in itself a heavy duty tool. But Dale I gotta say,you have a very impressive ,unique design here. This knife is somewhere in between small& regular,but the handle allows for a really good grip. This would make a nice hunter/ skinner ,but also,a heavy duty compact EDC work knife. OAL on this is 6-3/8". Blade is 3" with 2-3/4" cutting edge. If you guys could sample this I think Dale would have more orders for this one knife than he could ever keepup with. Freakin wicked razor sharp,and his grind is perfect. Very nice one Dale, ThankYou. I think too,the sculpted g-10 handles you do would really be great on this model. Sun glare will get you every time ,taking knife pics but these will work

I picked that up on one of my trips to Jantz, it was on the reminant table. They couldn't say what it was other than it didn't match anything they had. looked to cool to leave there. If I was going to guess, I think I might lean toward black ash burl.

right now I am working on a piece of the redwood burl you stabilized for me and it is going to kick some azz and take names. I think the name it might pick would be Antlers. I gotta figure some way to get in his back pocket. LOL

For some reason I've got that macarta that I picked up for us in my head. I really like the yellowish color like on Vince's knife. But I do have the redwood burl and a bocote in the works. Trying to get ahead for the Wannamaker show in Tulsa next week end. Did really well last fall.
