Ok, I ground these out today. I wanted to do a couple new EDC knives because I have a couple pocket sheaths with clips I need to use. These were not drawn out, I just started grinding, feeling, grinding, feeling and ended up with these. I wanted to do a more traditional palm swell with a narrower blade on one and a wider blade with thumb ramp on the other. The wider one looks different but it is wicked comfy and will make a great slicer. I ground it thinner than 1/8 and ground thin at the edge. Let me know before tomorrow late morning because Im going to finish them up than.
Specs:
Thinner one
A little over 6 1/4 OAL with a little over 2 3/4 blade

Wider one
2 1/2 blade 4" handle 6 1/2" OAL

These both will come with a pocket sheath with clip and antique finish with stainless hardware. You can choose pins or tubes.

. . . . any micarta ??? . . . . :D :D (Sorry man, that one was for BA when he gets back . . . )
I'm with Wilson, that bottom one has potential . . . .
Great job once again buddy.
Be safe.
 
It is a beautiful wood Wilson. I have been doing alot of Walnut lately so I think I will switch it up and do something new. Gonna start glueing these up soon so here is your last chance!!!
 
Gonna have to pass this time Chris, as much as it pains me. Knife budget is little low right now.
However I will be in touch when my reserves are replenished.
 
Thats cool Wilson, I put the Mallee on there anyway!

there is justice in the world, isn't it so, Wayne? glad for ya on that one!
 
Thanks Gerg, when I saw the knife finished, that was all it took. I think Chris has figured out when I get paid. LOL.
 
Not sure but that Wandoo Burl would look pretty sick on the stubby. To bad my knife fund is not only depleted but but in the red. Looks great by the way. I really love this size blade.
 
. . . just something about that bottom one . . . . must keep it in mind . . . . ;)
Be safe.

Me,too,IMW! Me,too!

Can't you just picture it in Red Mallee Burl?

As soon as I can possibly afford it,I plan to plead with Chris to make me one,too!

It'll go great with my KFU EDC & Wharnie....the KFU Stubby!

We'll remind each other: gotta have a Chubby Stubby!
 
Gnarly, I was planning on telling that he positively has to add this blade
to his regular line-up. It's like a big brother to his EDC knife. I'll have to post pictures
one day soon.
