Thanks MVM. For the EDC role these ones fill, 1/8" is what I like. It's going to be slicing apples and opening mail more than cross batoning a branch. I like high convex, but still enough room to show off a deep spalting, or I'm always interested in scandi.

Nathan, I had the camera out today, so I grabbed a photo of my Raptors. I am thinking that there is not going to be anything here for you, but you be the judge. The only 1/8" I have is the Maroon Micarta one that we already spoke of. From left to right, the first three are 5/32" and the 4th one is 3/32.



Sorry I had to overexpose the blade so that you can see the wood.

A Bishop takes up 3 spots in my current storage system. I just filled up it's vacancy with the Tuxedo Recluse from fridays batch and a sweet Sapphire Keppy. Actually I need something small a HB or an EDC in some shadetree would work. And then a Duke!

Oh man where did you find the sapphire kephart you lucky dog. If you ever want to let her go please let me know. Been looking for burlap kephart. I have a bunch of GEC's for trade bait. I'll even drive down to TN and pick it up. Ok cool, I'll see ya tomorrow.
 
Couple of sheaths that have accumulated with purchases. Not much point in me keeping them since I can build me ownsies, No offense to either maker as they are both fine sheaths. Pm me if you would like one. Happily trade one or both plus fun tickets towards a small Fiddle.

First is one of Rick's for a Hunter, It was a bit dry when I got it but I have given it several healthy coats of Obenaufs and she's good as new - SOLD

Walt, sending PM. Thanks!
 
This is pretty tempting. I cannot remember the complete back story on this blade. It stared life as another knife that was botched, if my memory serves me. Do you have the details?

Hey Walt. The Longfellow is a cool blade. Here's how Ken described it's beginnings:

Keep a lookout this week for a new knife - the Longfellow. It was a Camp Nessie gone wrong but steered right in the end. It's got a bushfingerish blade shape and a nice long handle.

I believe there are 3 in existence. I have one in Black Shadetree. I like the long handle and shorter Bushfingerish blade. Cool combo.

I thought that you had sharked one on a Friday. I remembered thinking what the heck is a Longfellow.
