Scott,

That's a really nice blade shape, and a great EDC.

Checked out your website. Looks like ya'll had a good session at Haywood. I can see the Knight and Foster influence, and I can also see that your blacksmithing skills are advanced, and will serve you well in your knifemaking.

Good job.

John

I like the look and compact size.
Would make a handy EDC.

Glad I stopped by the custom makers forum. I agree. The Buta II looks like an ideal EDC. How thick is the blade?

 

[EScott]

Thank you for the interest.

It was forged out of 1/4" stock and is about 0.200 at its thickest point.
