Guys, I forgot to post the forum price if 165.00 shipped. Thanks for the kind words. I reaaaaallu like this knife.
 
Ok guys, I dont need another knife! Last drop to 155.00 shipped
 
that is suh-wheet!
I really like the way the walnut looks, blade length/shape is pretty close to idea, and the square botton universal sheath is a good finishing touch.
wish I had some extra discretionary funds at the moment, but I just bought propane for the winter.
 
Thamks Vik! As a maker you just never know. I thoight this one would sell in no time. Its one of my favorites so far but must not appeal to everyone. If it doesnt sell by tomorrow Im gonna scrap the design...and keep it. Walnut is my favorite wood and I think it will come in handy in the woods. We will see.
 
If I had the cash available, I'd definitely take that one off your hands. Beautiful work. Would be a shame to see the design scrapped.

Maybe it's a little too close to the Becker 16 for some people. I don't know.
 
Chris - it may be a case of "too much" of a drop to the point for some -- personally I love it, but it may be too close to a spear point for some folks to consider it a hunting or bush knife -- and while 5" is considered a touch long for a hunter, I think it's perfect for an "all-arounder".
 
Your probably right Vik. I made it fir an all arounder thinking it could do all tasks but not excel at one. There is enough tip for drilling and the angle of the edge will aid with snap cuts.
