Well, for the lingest time the HI product that I really craved but never managed to get was a nice Cherokee Rose.
Thanks to our wonderful Lady Yangdu this problem has been solved!:thumbup:
On the last DOD that Yangdu had a Rose for sale Hondo3 managed to snag it. Good Man!! Well I checked in with Yangdu and she had one more in stock. I managed to snag that one.!;)
It is one hell of a knife. Sort of overwhelming in some ways. The carving of the handle is just beyond words. It is that nice. The blade is beautiful. The tip has a slight turn to the right in the last 1/4 to 1/2 inch or so. You can not see it as much as feel it when polishing.( I do that a lot) The tip needs a little more point for my tastes so I will drop the clip down just a little to create that effect.
These are not complaints as I am an anal SOB when it comes to steel and I love to tweak and finish all my stuff a little beyond how it came. Weather it is a HI, or Strider or Busse, they all get my little touches to truly become mine.:o Anyway, this knife is just wonderful. It will not slice much more than air, but it will do that with beauty and class! Here are a couple of crummy photos to show off my new beasty!

Thank you hugely for this wonderful Rose Yangdu. It is just what I wanted!!
 
The Cherokee rose is my bed-side bump in the night getter. A wonderful blade. Great snag:D

"By God, life's cheap out here in Penobscot Bay!" :D :thumbup:

It's a keeper, AA. Persistence of quest paid off.

Missed a UBBB once and Uncle did the same thing. :thumbup:

i think hondo did you a favor.

not that his isnt awesome as well.

I'm always here to help out when someone needs a particular blade snatched off the DOTD. For example, I was thinking of saving someone the terrible burden of that Tarwar...

You know, if I had that Tarwar, I'd be the one going bump in the night.
