Thanks. Last one of those I'm likely to make. Way too much work to finish those big boys out.

Those look good Dale. Those bigguns would be good in the kitchen. That stag hunter looks exceptional.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Thanks Guys The 4 big ones are my butcher pattern so originally intended for the Kitchen. Seems a lot of guys cross them over and use 'em in the field as camp knives or large skinners. I think they're really comfortable in hand. 3 of those are headed to Alaska. The one that looks like Stag is really Spalted Tamarind. Lots of color in that one.

Dale....really like the butcher pattern. I just ordered some 1-1/2" wide stock for a big kitchen knife on my to do list. Gotta say, I am a bit intimidated, that wide stock isn't cheap and I've never made anything of that size.....Jeff

Took me a lot of practice to grind those long wide ones on the big wheel, but I'm a slow learner. Menefee makes it look easy. They do come out really sweet with a hollow grind on the 14" wheel once you get the hang of it. Go a little slow at first and I'm sure you'll do fine. When ground right, they'll cut like a straight razor.

Variety is the spice of life... I can't stand making the same knife over and over... This is the latest batch I'm just finishing up. I especially like the one in the middle, it's my first attempt at dying Camel bone myself and I think it came out well. The Tanto next to it is commercially dyed Buffalo bone.
