Whew, very nice and I coulda had it! Been a little bit on tilt on the purchases lately, but I will get one of your blades one of these days!

That's nice. I like that handle length.

yeah that! Very nice proportions & blade to handle ratio.
Good thing you shipped the blacksmith knife or the package may have been heavier

Another great looker, when you going to start a folder or two. I think a Sodbuster with lime green G-10 would be a nice start, I will place an order now, if you wish.

This is another beauty, Robert. What you do with 1084 is just fantastic, and the handle and blade shape and proportion really speak to me. How I wish I could squeeze another one into my budget this soon...

This one shouldn't last long...

Robert,

The knife is here and it looks even better in the flesh, so to speak. Excellent fit and finish, and it just nestles in the hand like it was made to be there. Great work! :thumbup:

I know this is a sales forum and not a coversation forum but I have to say your work is awesome, every knife that I have seen made by you so far is perfect !
One quick question how is 1084 compared to 1095 ?

Danbo · Apr 10, 2008

That's a sweet knife!

Thanks. 1084 and 1095 are very close relatives. 1095 just has a tad bit more carbon. They both make excellent blades. Robert

Every knife of Robert's fits your hand because Robert uses HIS knives.

Your welcome sir, I only told it like it is. Call me or I'll call you about it........ I think I already know where it's new home will be........

If that works for you of course ????

If it does ....... do a simple pouch sheath with a belt loop large enough to accomidate [sp. ?] a 2.25 inch belt....... larger is ok also. Top of the loop at least an inch above top of handle. :thumbup:

I'll call you tonight..........

I have been "flying em high" and using lots of sunscreen and long sleeve shirts........

Things are going well........ I hope they are with you also my friend.

PS/ Is it gonna have the same scales ? Those look great.........
