Congratulations Rob after the long wait, can't wait to see what you get :)

Here's my newest piece by Bret. Thanks to a good friend who relinquished this beauty. Quite possibly my favourite clip point of all time due to that immense belly and fantastic swedge. I'd love to know what this barbed wire micarta sheet looks like individually before it's formed with the resin. It's striking in different light.

Wow, great knife Tim. I love single blade sowbellys, the elegant curve and how the blade sits so low in the frame. Congratulations!
 
Looks great Tim! I'm gonna miss her but the trapper is filling the gap nicely. I really like that this micarta has a reddish, brown color.

Agreed it's a fantastic carry piece :) Glad it went to you.

Thanks LR and Rob :) Real happy with this one~
 
Here's a nice T. Bose pattern Drop Point that I found floating around the bay a while back. Sorry for the glare, I haven't learned to take correct photos of knives with a mirror polish. Nice stag, tapered tang, red liners. What more could you ask for! Measures right at 8" OAL.





 
Man!! I really like everything about this knife. I need a small 3 ¼" Dowell made knife in my life :)

Hear hear! I'm sure Bret could get enough orders to pay for a nice long vacation afterward with lots of relaxing and beer served by bikini clad girls at a tiki bar...(see how I made that enticing!).

Off the charts...wow!!
 
I'm pretty new to this world, converting from modern folders.
I have a few productions, and two customs by now.
But one of the customs is very damn special!
Although I'm still lacking the experience, I can definitely tell Bret's work is top notch!
Here is my first, but absolutely not my last:
CF shadow.
Thank you to a good friend who made this possible![emoji8]
