    I've got a really good friend that does alot of auctions. He's always coming by giving me things he thinks I can use ( cutting torches, shop vacuum system, clamps and vises, etc.etc) so I figured I needed to do a little pay back. His last names Rambo so I figured any knife I made him should be big and a fighter, this is what I came up with.
    OAL 15 3/4" with a 10 1/2" blade, sharpened top clip, ladder pattern and walrus ivory handle. Hope he likes it.

    Thanks for lookin,

    Bill

    Clean and lean beauty, Bill.

    Great flow from blade into the handle, and the guard picks up the same lines.

    Nice!

    If you were close to me, I would be backing my rig up and dumping all kinds of junk on your front lawn. Then I would hold out my hand for a beauty like that!

    Ditto the above comments.
    I am as impressed with your generosity as much as I am with the knife.
    Well done Sir,

    Wow - that's a beaut. Handle plays the 'mascus a real treat.

    Heaven forbid he loses that knife..........heaven forbid you lose any of the stuff he gave you - but you'll always have that friendship
