Damned nice Attitude, and $45 off the regular price doesn't hurt! I also really like the last couple carved handle Cherokee specials. Something different.

There's something about that horn handle with the R5... damn, I haven't even gotten my first in the mail yet and I already want another one!
 
Ok someone buy the Rose for me and trade it to me for a movie model and JKM :o ....or keep it for yourself along with a few choice curses :mad:

You look at the handle on the Rose? Stand out carving.

Bura is an artist, no doubt about it. He could make a good living just carving statues and selling them I'm sure. Lucky for us he prefers knives. I would have loved to have snagged this, but already have an older plain one and a nice carved one. There is also a little matter of payment. :D

on the carving; it has the liquid look, do you know what I mean?
The carving comes out of the background- it's transparent.

When you can make wood do that you done ....GOOD.

E-mail sent. :cool:
 
Email sent on R-5. Probably gone by now. This horn handle will look good with my horn R-10. Although this one is only half as good as the R-10 :)

Eric.

Yep. Already gone.

Nice buy. I can't get over the look of it with that horn handle. Hopefully they'll keep on being offered that way. Absolutely stunning.

Norm isn't this one at 20-1/2" long longer than the average Rose?
This one must have a 14"-15" blade!:eek: :thumbup: :D
One I sure wouldn't mind owning and I'm not overly fond of the carved handles for practical purposes but this one is just downright beautiful!!!!:thumbup: :D :cool: Can't say plain beautiful because there is nothing plain about it.:thumbup: :cool:

Yvsa, no that is right in there on the average. Both mine are on the short side at 20" even, most are 20.5" and a couple have even been 21".

I think it's the carved handle design which makes it look a bit longer. The last one like this on 7/11 had a very similar handle, but being dark satisal did not have the gold highlights this sisau one has and so the carving was not quite as evident. I still like both the chandan curlique one I snagged on 12/10, and a companion one in Neem which sold on 12/14. Those were the first and only two to date of that style. (Of course I paid $20 more for mine. ;) Just an ability I have.) IMO this one is priced spot on, as it is significantly more work and is only a few dollars more.

After those two curlique models, Bura did 3 smooth ones, including a really pretty Neem one on 1/10 I believe, and then on 2/7 did a transistion one on the way to this style with really ornate carving.

Like you, I used to think the carved handles were impractical, but was amazed at how comfortable they seem to be in real use. The carving gives a great feel to the hand, and yet makes the knife secure. If there is a single drawback to the carving is that it would make refinishing the handle very difficult if you chose to do so.

Darn it!:mad: My dream Rose shows up and I have no money.:(
Oh Well, I guess I will go on dreaming a little longer.
If this had come at my Birthday I would have tried to con my GF into getting it for me.;)

Surprized no one has bought that attitude.

I know! Beautiful wood and a perfect handle. People forget these sold for $135-$140 at one time; basically M43 prices and worth it. I have a similar one in neem or I would be all over this, debt or no.

Norm
 
I love that attitude too. If I hadn't recently purchased one with an antler handle I would get this one. I may anyway...someone please buy the attitude soon.
