Nice job Bret, way to go! And congrats Rob. Those catch bits definitely make a muskrat a tough one.

I heard it wasn't an easy one to make, but it looks like Bret nailed it.

Congratulations on owning one of Bret's protos. What a great looking knife. I really the looks/effects of the red liners.

Great work Bret.

You know, I didn't even ask.

I'm almost certain that Bret used Tony's pattern though.

If so just at 4 or 4-1/8" I do believe. Great That's perfect!!

Bret, I'm starting to think you're making all these tremendous Westinghouse pieces intentionally just to jam me up.

DOWELLKNIVES · Jul 3, 2013

I had a buddy send me a case/bose knife and pretty much built it off of that. The blades are a little fuller which I thought looked a little better. It came out a little over 4'' closed. Hope I got some of that Westinghouse left by the time I get to your name Woodson. haha

I hope so too!

Bret do you make lockers? Curious.

^^He should^^

DOWELLKNIVES · Jul 3, 2013

No locks. I've given it some thought a time or two. Maybe someday.

The Rodent look's to be a winner!! Hard one to make.
