Knife by D'Holder in ATS-34 and mammoth. About 5 3/8 overall. Leather by Paul Long (sheathmaker). Knife came with a pocket sheath but I wanted one with a belt loop so Paul fixed me up.

What a SWEET little knife - love it! Those bolsters look like they are calling out for some engraving.

Curse you, Roger! Why did you have to mention that? Curse you!:D

I just sent an email to D' wife, Pat, to ask her about doing some of her engraving on this puppy. I wanted to keep everything in the family so I chose Pat.
 
My favorite engraved D'Holders ALWAYS have Pat's engraving on them. Like you, I feel it's a real family endeavor. :D Smart call.

Great knife!

Update - Well I did contact D' about some engraving. He called this model the Sticker Picker and said it was a fairly new model for him, pretty popular, and that he can't make them fast enough to keep up with the demand. He also told me that Pat was really backed-up with her engraving and suggested that I contact Bruce Shaw, which I did.
I wanted to show off the job Bruce did on the knife. Good price, fast turn around and a great job in my opinion.

Whoa… Fantastic knife and amazing sheath! :thumbup:

The engraving looks great. The knife seemed incomplete without it. :)
 
Dang, that was quick! And a great job too. A super sweet little knife is now that much nicer. Congrats again!

Thanks gentleman. And big thanks to you Roger for planting the engraving idea in my simple mind.
 
I'm just amazed at what that engraving did for that knife. It was a very nice knife...but the addition of that engraving added so much personality:thumbup:. Think it should be on Extreme Makeover:D. Truly a fine piece. Preston
 
Well, boys I goofed. I should have claimed home invasion, armed robbery, etc. and just kept the knife when I had it in my shop to make the sheath. It was not engraved then, but it was still a great, no GREAT little knife and now with the engraving it is just super. I think I got first Dibs if Rob wants to sell it.

I've had my eye out for the Sticker Pickers. I really do like D'Holders work. The sheath and the engraving make that one a real treasure. Very nice!
