Loving this one in ebony:

It is listed in glitter gold and cherry (a "beaver tail"), too, but that ebony is calling to me.

Anyone else thinking to pick this one up?
 
It's like an elongated barehead single blade copperhead thing-a-ma-do. :)

Pretty cool......I like it.

The barehead and ebony is a looker. It's got back pocket knife written all over it, IMO. Well done.
 
I'm anxious to see how the Northfield looks. If they went with a long pull on the pattern and that deep signature swedge.
 
Looks like it would make a darn good desk knife, but I already have a couple of those. I am a big fan of the copperhead bolster.
 
as from the "now we're talking " 3D

nice knife, who is/was "Ben Hogan"?? anyone knows?

Y'know, I was going to post something along the lines of that is one VERY beautiful knife, but too big for my liking, then you have to go and post something like that...

It is a very elegant looking knife, and would definitely be a nice desk knife.

A lovely pattern, if it was a little smaller it'd be close to ideal for me. Thanks for the heads up.:thumbup:
 
frankly i really like it & have 2 on order. i like the big goodies everytime, this is a slender lightweight gentleman that has no essence of a clunker. dennis
 
^ I like this length as well, and the profile seems plenty slim to carry. :thumbup:

So far, I am really digging the woods. I will have to wait to see how the primitive bone and stag come out.:)
 
Assuming the tang is sunk real good
like a copperhead should,

I'm gonna buy me one today
without delay!!

T'would be a good lockback too!
I think so! Wouldn't you???

And with nary a sob,
It's back to my day job!!
:D

Charlie, I have looked hard, but no pictures of this one closed that I can find. I wonder if they have reduced the underblading on this one?
