By my count, the following are still available. Better act quickly!!!


The karda is a great knife, and the texture on this is wonderful. Loving the dark bacon style.

With Python this is just a cool little knife, and 1/8" is perfect for the HB.

Thanks for saving me!

 

[Mistwalker]

Thanks for saving me!

Yeah, me too! I have been wanting a 5/32 tapered KE Bushie for months...that could have well cost me one of my hunting rifles had I red the specs earlier...

 

[Tim the Wizard]

Nice score! I seriously considered that blade.

 

[xxkcxx]

What y'all think about the durability of that curly oak? Really user or what?

 

[necrolicious]

I would consider it a user. As long as you make sure the handle is oiled or waxed before wet weather trips or doesn't dry out and crack it should be good for yrs of use. Or decades. I've been eyeing that Duke too but I already grabbed the Burl Nessie today....

 

[Tim the Wizard]

I'd make a bet that it is stabilized and up for about any task you have or adventure you could put it through! Plus, there is always the stellar "if it doesn't make you happy" Fiddleback warranty.

The curly oak Nessmuk I have is stabilized, as a point of reference, although the forgemasters can clarify. That golden oak is like a shot of sunshine straight to the heart.

 

[xxkcxx]

That would change things a bit but they usually write that in the description of that's the case.

 

[allen456]

I am pretty sure it was stabilized, 99%. We send it out.

 

[xxwjtxx]

What y'all think about the durability of that curly oak? Really user or what?

Andy and co usually use stabilized curly oak; with that said, I've had 3-4 knives in it and of those have used 2. Both performed great and held up fine to kitchen and camp use with proper care (wash, dry, oil, wipe away) after use.

Grab that Duke; it's pretty spectacular!

 

[whitty]

I am shocked the Python Micarta Hiking Buddy is still there. We have an esquire with the Python Micarta. I don't think pictures do this scale justice. It is wickedly cool in person!

 

[willic]

Ok, Ok, I can't take it any longer..... She's just too pretty! Makes me sad, her sitting there unwanted.... Send her to Virginia!

2015 0102 29 – Duke w/ Golden curly Oak over natural w/ blue pinstripes, Tapered Tang, convex on 3/16” spalted 01 steel - $420

 

[xxkcxx]

Thank you willic... To the rescue once again!

I'll take it! Adam does amazing work!

 

[Uncle_P]

I'm glad you took that Valkyrie. I agree about Adam. Nice pick-up.
