Nice camp knife! Please someone buy it soon...

 

[Fiddleback]

I'll take the runt andy.

Mark

You got it Mark. Thanks!

I'll take the 1/8 runt

Almost. Never remember seeing a closer tie. More coming though. Thanks.

I'll take the 2013 0308 02 – Bushcraft Karda, African Blackwood over nat can with a lime green pinstripe, Tapered tang, Convex on 5/32” thick steel - $265
Add it to the others!

I thought sure you'd have jumped on that Snubnose. LOL. Thanks!!!

God sooooo many 'almosts' in this one. I've wanted either an Arete/bushcrafter/terasaur in scandi for a while but I REALLY want it on 3/16....which everyone keeps telling me Andy will never do so I'm on the prowl for a 5/32nds. 2 close calls this week. Bushboot is my other 'must' puchase. That camp knife is gorgeous

I do Scandi on 1/8" blanks, and sometimes 3/32, but never thicker. Too much of a pita to sharpen, and easy to mess up the larger flat grind on the last pass.

I crave the Arete! Some more coming up you say? Any chance of an extra beefy handle on a scandi Arete Andy?

Am I sill oweing you that knife. Man. I suck. I can do one next week and finish it on the following.

Hi Andy, I'll take this one 2013 0308 04 – Hiking Buddy, OD over natural canvas, Scandi on 1/8” steel - $200
As soon as you let me know it's mine I'll Paypal.

Thanx
Gene

You got it Gene. Thanks!

Talked myself into it:

Dibs:

2013 0308 07 – Bushcrafter, Nat on Black canvas with whitewalls, Scandi on 1/8” thick steel - $225

Once I see the confirmation post I'll paypal.

Yours then. Thanks!!!

I will take the arete and the bushcrafter

Netmastro

Bushcrafter is gone, but you got the Arete. Thanks!

Fantastic batch Andy! I'm with you thurin, I'm glad the Runt is gone. A Runt with a tapered tang??! WOW! I hate being late to this party today but my wallet thanks me.

Your Runt headed toward your place yesterday. At least there is that.

PayPal inbound

Cool! Thank You.

Sounds very promising Andy!!

CHICKEEEENNNNNNN....

Kidding (but a 5/32nd Scandi can't be harder to grind than that gorgeous Bourbon Street Skinner can it?)


Just know if you ever wanted to give one a go, you have an immediate buyer.

 

[in the flesh]

The KE Bushie is the pick of the litter to me. Perfect handle combo. Would love to see that on a Bushboot.


I would have been all over that Runt. Glad to hear you are making more, Andy.

 

[Mike Gesualdo]

After much deliberation... screw it. I'll take:

2013 0308 05 – KE Bushie, Jade over lime green g-10 with black bolsters and liners, Tapered Tang, Convex on 5/32” thick steel - $310

Absolutely awesome. I would prefer something smaller, but it's just too pretty to pass up.

I'll make the payment once it's confirmed that it's mine Any possibility you could wait a week to ship it, though? Wouldn't want it to show up while I am out of town.

 

[Rhiney]

Somebody needs to buy the camp knife and the bolstered Bushfinger before I commit fiscal suicide...

 

[swonut]

missed the runt... great batch

I'll take the runt andy.

Hi Andy,

I had to reply from my cell phone while working in the kitchen at our children's school for Grandparents Luncheon. Otherwise I would have copied and pasted the whole string of information like I normally do.

You got it Mark. Thanks!

Almost. Never remember seeing a closer tie. More coming though. Thanks.

Payment sent for the 2013 0308 001 – Runt, Cocobolo over black with a blue pinstripe, Tapered tang, full height convex on 1/8” steel - $195

Sincerely,
Mark

 

[maw]

I'll take the 1/8 runt

Hi TheNick. I am sorry about this. As Andy pointed out, he has never seen a closer tie and neither have I. I realize it could have easily been the other way around.

Sincerely,
Mark

 

[maw]

Hi Shamr0ck, pveiled, thurin, MajorD, in the flesh, and swonut...thank you gentleman for your kind comments.

Andy...it appears we need lots more Runts! I hope it is a big pipeline.

Sincerely,
Mark

 

[Mistwalker]

Man, awesome batch! The Osage is looking great, and I really dig than Runt.

I hadn't paid much attention to the Runt until I took a closer look at the twins in the line up thread recently. Congrats on your snag there Mark, you barely got it

Never remember seeing a closer tie. More coming though. Thanks.

You had another one a few weeks ago with the same time stamp, back with the first batch of Camp knives in a while.

Oh yes. I forgot about that but both folks had the same time stamp, just seconds apart. Incredible isn't it?

 

[Mistwalker]

Thank you mistwalker!

I remember it because someone joked that the camp knife was going to need "joint custody"

 

[Mike Gesualdo]

I can wait to ship.

Thanks!

Payment is sent!

Edit: Whoops, I may have forgotten to include my address in the Paypal payment. Please let me know if that's the case.

 

[Rotte]

Great looking stuff Andy. The Bushcraft Karda looks outstanding, and that Osage Keppie is simply fantastic. Drooling here.

 

[Fiddleback]

Thanks for all your support and kind words folks.
