Hello guys, the weather is sunny today, and the 'man' says its staying that way. Therefore as the move with commence Sunday, I say again that this is the last batch to come out of my basement. God willing it'll be the truth this time.

This weeks batch includes the knife I'm donating to the GA Guild. Its a Woodsman with a forged in curley cue. The bolsters, pins and bullseye filler are black can micarta. The scales are Bloodwood. The steel is 3D Spalted 01 steel. I actually made four knives to match it. The Hunter is available for $305. First pic is a group shot, then the Woodsman, then the Hunter.

Update: The Recluse with the curley cue is now available as well. Nice thin 1/8" thick 3D Spalted 01 steel with a beauty of a convex sabergrind! $285 shipped with sheath!

This is a really BEEFY KE Bushie. The blade is 3/16" thick 3D Spalted 01 steel with a convex sabergrind. The handle is maroon linen micarta over black linen, with an orange stripe and black pins and bullseye filler. The spalting, and just the feel of it are spectacular if you're a thick blade guy. Its got a heft. $240 shipped with sheath.

Check out the African Blackwood and nat canvas on this Terassaur. The nat can really pops next to that blackwood and the orange pinstripe really set them off. Real gentlemens knife. The steel, again, is a beefy 3/16" thick 3D Spalted 01 with a convex sabergrind, so its a tough SOB too. $270 shipped with sheath.

And lastly, this Hunter came out really beautifully I think. Its hard to let it go. Osage and nat can with an orange stripe. $255 shipped with sheath.

That curley cue set is very nice, Andy.

Lot of big girls in this batch! That Recluse tempted me something vicious :thumbup:
 
I had a feeling you'd jump on that... Thanks Eric.
 
The bloodwood and black canvas is sweet. It has an elegant and understated look.

Thanks Rick. I'm digging it too. The Bloodwood is new to me. Dan introduced me to it. He was right. Its gorgeous.

I had a local buyer back out on that knife. Wants a BLJ. Its yours if you want it Matt.

Can't resist, I'll take the 3/16 convex sabergrind KE Bushie!

Thanks! You ugot it!

Ok ok ok, I'll take the recluse!!

That Recluse is as perfect as I can make one. Good score.
 
Oh, heck yeah, I want it!! :triumphant: What's the damage and I'll send it over! I don't need a sheath for it.
 
The knife is $185 shipped without sheath Matt. Thanks!!!

The Recluse with the curley cue is now available as well. Nice thin 1/8" thick 3D Spalted 01 steel with a beauty of a convex sabergrind! $285 shipped with sheath!
 
I'm freakin PUMPED to get an early Fiddleback Curly Cue, especially a little EDC size. I've been jealous of my wife's prototype red micarta 3 finger Karda ever since I gave it to her! AWESOME!!!!
 
Ok, I have always wanted to be a "Real Gentleman". :D

I will take the beefy blackwood Terassaur.

I do not need a sheath (price break?)

Thanks!
