Just picked this Sweetheart up from Les Robertson.The blade is 7.5 inches with Desert Ironwood handle,and it's a pretty Hefty piece.Anyone who has ever seen & handled one of Bob's knives knows that the Grinds along wih everything else is as Close to Perfect as you can get :cool:

I happen to live not too far from Bob and he's someone that's been around the industry for a long time, yet doesn't make enough knives to be well known. I was told that Loveless looked at his table at a past Guild show and advised that he was the "best grinder there". Yea, they're heafty, but that's Bob. But fit, grind and finish? Super.
 
Here's another Papp I picked up off ebay.Actually stole would be a better description ;) .The blade is 6.5in. every else is the same as the one I started this thread with. :cool:
 
They both look great Buddy but I really like the style on the second one you posted.I would not mind seeing a few more pics. :)
Congrats
 
2nd one is a beauty, Bud. Lookin' forward to seein' it!

Best Regards,
