Bothknives are sold,Thanks All

Hi all, These are the same knives I posted earlier. I had some extra time and reworked the sheaths. I like them much better this time around.

I hope all of you do too:)

They are described as follows,

Thanks a bunch, yes e-mail and paypal the same.

Sale pending on second knife.

Thanks again all for the kind comments.
 
O.K. i must fess up. after promising to buy no more customs for "awhile", i bought this #2 "Primitive". i picked it up at P.O. today.
about 1 minute with this knife and sheath and all guilt is gone, replaced by relief that i went for it. Bob told me something like "ya it looks primitive but it's built to be used as hard as any knife should be" (something to that effect anyway).
both sheath and knife come alive more in hand than in pics. the handle is as comfortable fit as any FB i own, good balance, and it cuts ! hey, it's a real knife ! just happens to look like a possible re-enactor's garb.
sheath is awesome; sturdy too.
honest, no shit, i am impressed and very glad i bought this. i only feel bad for Bob, how can you put this much work into something and sell it for $125?
so if you want a REAL knife, a really unique knife, and a knife that others will underestimate, buy the other one.

Thanks Roland for your kind comments, No matter what it looks like it's a tool first everything else comes after, use it well.

Thanks
Bob
