I'm going to work on some pictures.
In the meantime check this out. What a fantastic knife this is.
I thank you Bret.
I met these makers here on BF's,the least I can do is show what kind of knives they build.Of course I dig these "shadows",but the configurations are endless.

I'll post more of it if I get it done right

That's the trapper on top,Dog Leg Jack bottom

Wait it out,what ever it takes,Elliott & all. They just keep getting better & better & better.I do not know what more one could ask for.

I think we have some makers here on BF's ,some of the best of the best.
I think it was Tony aka jivedaddy told me once,there never was a better time to get a custom handmade slipjoint.
It's like historical
Anyhow,thank's Bret,this knife is frikkin' way over the top :thumbup:.These two are perfect.Grinds & mechanics ,Hat's Off!!

Bret knows to just leave me on his list...a permanent revolving spot. :thumbup: What I need to do is get on the list Vince is on...holy moly.

I like the dog leg a lot but that trapper is so sweet.

I like the dog leg a lot but that trapper is so sweet.

Just for a reference,the dog leg is a widerknife (measured spine to edge),than the trapper,but...
Both are full of full blades,very beefy & not too thick.
Both patterns are really great.The main & pen on this dog leg is really super
Very happy here!

Great looking knives.

 

[tomsch]

Both of those are incredible! I need one of those doglegs!

 

[wagglebee]

Those look great Vince!

 

[rickmenefee]

I held this knife. I dont think it could be any better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bakerg2g]

I fell the same about mine! It's awesome!
Bret killed both my "Hogneck Trapper" and the
"Norfolk Jack" both are amazing knives!!!
The F/F on both couldn't be any better!
action is perfect! IMHO! Glad to have them both!

Just received this one today from Bret. 3 5/8" mini slimline. The slimline is one of my favorite patterns and have always wanted one shrunk down and Bret was willing to do it. Its a sweet knife. F/F is great as always, thanks Bret!:thumbup:
