Allen asked me if I would take one of his Bush Adders through some paces and give him some feedback on the knife. The paces really haven't started yet, I just got it, but I am really liking what I am seeing so far. I love the effect tapered tangs have on the balance of knives with shorter blades like this, it really makes them more nimble in the hand, and Allen's symmetry in his handle work is really nice. I love the contours and over all feel of the knife in hand, and I love how he does his hollow grinds so they are not thinner behind the shoulder of the grind. I am also really digging the texturing on the flats, a very nice touch. Really nice work Allen.

That is one comfortable looking handle.

The handle is really comfy, and man this thing is light and quick in the hand. Allen is doing some beautiful work, will have to keep my eyes on him :)

Thank you to both and I am glad you are enjoying the Bush Adder thus far!
