Alrighty guys. Lets get right to it. First up today is two smaller knives. One is a Bushcraft Karda wearing white linen micarta over natural canvas with a blue pinstripe on 1/8" thick 3D Spalted 01 steel ($225.00 shipped US without sheath, or $265 with a Heber or $275 with an Rlo). Also is a pretty Scandi'd Hiking Buddy with natural canvas over natural canvas scales with an orange pinstripe. The steel here is 3D Spalted 01 1/8" thick. $200 without, $240 with a Heber, or $250 with an Rlo sheath.

Next up for sale is a trio of Buschrafters. All of these are on 5/32" thick 3D Spalted 01. The handles are white linen micarta over nat can with a blue stripe ($250 without a sheath, or $290 with a Heber sheath), Natural Can over Black with black pins and orange pinstripe ($225 without a sheath, $265 with a Heber sheath), or a pretty tuxedo configuration (black linen over natural canvas) with an orange widewall ($225 without, or $265 with a heber sheath).

Andy, do you have a "knife of the week" club where you could just send me something awesome each week for a VERY LOW yearly subscription? (This is a joke, in case you wondered.)

And now onto the sad dud. When I was glueing up this woodsman, a pin snapped. So I drilled it out yesterday, and missed on the bottom side. This leaves an oblong looking pin on that side. This knife makes me sad. It just absolutely isn't good enough. Its Desert Ironwood with whitewalls on black. 5/32" thick.

Here is a pic of this flaw.

I like it, except the low low rate part...

LOL.
 
I won't show it to anyone (hee hee) if you are OK letting it out into the world...I am calling dibs on the Woodsman, should it be available.
 
Beautiful knives Andy ! , spent my budget on a Bushboot ( I could not resist ) . . . saving up on a Palmer or a Runt when it comes around :D
 
DANG Andy - another great batch. If I didn't already have a Karda Bushcraft en route - that white one would be coming North. Can't wait for last week's purchase to arrive. Have a great week!
 
OK, I'd like to give the Kephart a whirl (Fiddleback Kephart this week!!! This one is wearing stabalized Black Palm over black with an orange pinstripe. The steel is 1/8" thick 3D Spalted 01.)
Looks to be available still, which means I'll take it. Thx.

-- payment sent, thx. ---

Man oh man, I am a fan of the Woodsman. I would have never noticed the pin if you hadn't brought it up. What a gorgeous piece of steel:)
 
O.k. Andy, I am very tempted to take the Maroon linen Bushfinger but as you know, I am about to get an Arete soon?! Now, I need some decision help here, I can't afford both, says my wife! Is the Arete about ready to be shipped soon? With sheath?

That knife is next week!
 
Ok, I waited 24h, that is enough! If still available, I take the Maroon Bushfinger with RLo sheath too, Andy.
