Those are really nice.

I especially like the Runt. It sort of has the strengths of the handle of a Busse Game Warden with a better blade.:thumbup:

Also love the Arctic Birch. Here's a question for you. On the Birch how do you keep the pins from oxidizing and discoloring the birch?? I did aluminum pins on my arctic birch handle and I have to wash the oxidation off a lot.

Would stainless be better??? I'm considering cleaning mine up and then putting some sort of enamel on the pins

I used stainless corby bolts for the pins. That helps with the oxidizing, and the bit you use to fit a corby is a countersink rheemer bit. That makes the pins fit really well. During the handle shaping I was very careful not to get them hot.

My tablesaw is out of tune. I thought of you. I had to flatten the wood laminations on a piece of glass with 60 grit sandpaper glued to it before glueup. I've gotta tune that saw again. That adds a step.
 
The Ladyfinger looks awsome.
What are the specs on it?? I can't seem to find them anywhere??

I'll have to have one of those when one comes up again........ :thumbup:

Thanks in advance........... ;)
 
The Ladyfinger has a 4.5" blade and 4.5" handle. Its a slim kinda bird and trout knife.

Thats true! I'll get that done next week...:thumbup:
 
More specs on the Runt please... and who got this one or is it up for sale?? :)

I'm REALLY in the market for a nice EDC size blade and this one looks like it would work. I'd like something along the lines of a Krein PSK... but can't seem to get my hands on one of those, and I'm REALLY loving the handles on your blades. :D :thumbup:
 
So far thats the only runt. But there are two or three on the bench now.
