Thanks for looking & more to come if time permits!
 
Shaping up to be a sweet batch of knives! :thumbup: Which model is the brown canvas over nat/orange on the left in the very last picture (EDIT: of knives, not of Ivy. :D)? I can't quite make it out.

I'm really liking the looks of the new little guy! Sweet design.

EDIT again: Commando bocote Handyman?! That's pretty awesome.

thats the new model
 
I like the lines of the new shape, it's getting closer to what I want :) A little swedge here and a rounding off there (maybe in the reverse order) and it'd be quite the pocket knife. Me likey!
 
Thanks for the preview. The new blade looks interesting, smaller than the Runt. Thought of a name yet?

Maybe "the trump" in honor of our new president or because you need small hands to grab it? Your choice?? Lol jkjk I know I should stay away from political humor but I couldn't resist

Deal killer! I could get behind a deplorables reference, but I've got my limits.

that's a toss-up

Usually when we start bouncing names off each other at the shop it can get quite inappropriate. It seems, most people are born w/ a "filter", not so much w/ our group. Im not sure if it's the dust, hard work, stress of stitches at any moment during the day or what.


Be assured, I will have an "appropriate" name Friday morning:thumbup:

I may be in the minority here, but I can't make myself like the look of bobnose shaped blades. When I see someone using one, I always want to ask how they broke the tip off the blade. :D

I hope they sell well. Small EDC knives are very popular these days.
