HEY Guys,
I just finnished up a proto of a new Snub-Nose model,Id spoken with Andy and we decided to do a collab on this,It is a nice medium duty worker can be used for just about anything,I ground this from Aldo's 3/16" 1095 ,It measures 8 5/16" oal w/a 3 5/8" blade, Being stock removed they all will range in size diffrent, Everything has been done in house at my shop from start to finnish,like most this will have a forced patina finnish with a belt finnish grind,I love the looks of knives with that finnish,So here it is! I will add more photos when its ready to ship to Andy, So he can work his magic on the handles.

very sweet! looking forward to seeing the final product.....does this mean there will some up for grabs soon...maybe B4 Christmas?? My sweet hearts been asking what I'd like.....:D
 
I have 2 ready from my latest batch i did, One is going to ANDY an im gonna do the other one,Yes atleast one will be ready probably before the weeks out Jim
 
that looks fun.
would be at home in the kitchen or the woodworking shop.
 
I'm with Vik, that looks like something that would belong in Sally T.'s kitchen block. Now all I have to do is make sure she does not see this before my Glock 34 gets here before Christmas . . . . :D :D
Great design BA, very different from your normal repertoire of blade shapes. I am also "assuming" one of your great sheaths will accompany this as well ?
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Be safe.
 
Just like River Warrior, I'd like for my next BA custom to have a Big Butt.

And some hamon, dammmit.....I don't own any hamon....yet.

A Big Butt Snub Nose, like this Fiddleback collab knife....

And just let BA pick the wood.

In fact,if BA can make it in early Feb.2012, giving my budget a little recovery time, then consider this a knife pre-order!

Well dont look like any burlap from me shade tree is out of what i wanted
