Rick Menefee Knives...

[rickmenefee]

I am cutting a shield pocket. I have a parser plate much like everybody uses in a drill press. This machine is overkill for the operation but i made it out of several machines for the purpose.

Thank you for posting the photos, Jason. Hmmm... is that a Surveyor pattern that he's making???

[Peregrin]

Wow that Dogleg is outstanding!

[wagglebee]

Rick, those are beautiful, maybe your best yet!

When did you pick that up Jim?

I thought it belonged to JZambino.

Did a deal with brother Vince. He seems to always have some nice ones laying around.

Nothing wrong with that, I've always loved the look of that knife.

Nice ones, Rick! The Wharncliffe secondary was a great choice on the dogleg. The jigged bone is FANTASTIC .

Here is some high quality photo's. i paid to have made!

[FLymon]

Impressive work lately Rick!
That big Trapper (HTT?) is especially clean looking.

[comoha]

That HTT is a dream! Amazing job Rick!

I handled those at the show & I can attest they were really magnificent

Here's a few more of the tiny 2-3/4" closed pup leg....

How's strong is the pull on those puplegs Vince? I would think that a knife that small might be tough to open with Rick's normal pull.

Both of this model,I have sampled from Rick,Jim's Mammoth & this shadow,had perfect medium range spring tension/pull,and were very easily opened with the long pull. Everyone who knows Rick & has seen one of these,marvels at how he builds the "tiny" folder,with his size hands. But it's skill,in the end.
I saw one of those pup legs come on the exchange here a ways back,I bet there is only four built & that one I posted,the fourth.

Wow! That is some impressive work on the sowbelly, doglegs and HT! When the heck does Rick take a vacation? It seems like he is constantly producing these great knives. There's gotta be at least one wild hog left in Oklahoma for him to hunt, no?

[wagglebee]

Thanks Vince.

I'm having Rick build something for my dad's 70th birthday next February and I'm thinking that something small like that would probably work.

That cracked me up good Luciano!

Seeing all these pictures of Dog and Pup Legs makes me think I'm going to have to put a Menefee Made Dogleg on my short list.

I hope Rick is dreaming about the Norfolk he's building me.

My dad just needs a small single-blade knife, I'm thinking a pupleg or maybe a small teardrop.

[wagglebee]

I checked my email this morning and got a great surprise from Rick...he's started on the Norfolk that he's building for me!
