    Some cool Bush Operator XL's and a special knife for me...

    Here are some Bush Operator XL's that got finished today.













    aaaaaand I might have made myself a knife in this batch. This is the prototype Operator 575. Obviously the regular version won't be coming with filework and custom etchings. It will have the swedge though. This one has a Ghost Scale etched blade and design, custom Shadetree yarn phenolics, Toxic green liners, brass tube pins, and some sick filework. Please don't start emailing me for dibs on these yet. I'm not opening these up for dibs just yet. Got some testing to do first. Until then, enjoy some pictures.

    Yep. Strat's is pretty damn hot. That's one of those that I had a hard time selling. The sheath for it is PERFECT too.

    I'll take the one on the far right with the blue liners if it's available.

    All of these were for dibs orders. In fact, most of the time, people are hardpressed to get one of my knives without being on the dibs list for a few months. I'm really looking forward to hiring some shop help next year to help me bust these out faster. Right now, I've just about maxed out the speed at which I can make knives and still enjoy it.

    Haha, yeah. I was on the list how long to get that one, 8 months? Not your usual wait time... since some stuff came up recently. I can't wait to get it! I've heard so much about the kydex... but I'm starting to wonder if I should go for a leather sheath too.
