Welp its Friday again! I've got some beauties for you, some of my favorite models and one that is very challenging for me to produce. AND a new model for you to view. The new model is the Chicapea which is the smallest knife in the Chicadee lineup. I designed this line of knives at the request of a great friend and customer who wanted a knife to commemorate his mother. What a challenge. How do you design a knife to remind someone of a person. So I did a bunch of drawings and came up with this line. Doug was happy, and I was glad of that. The scales on this knife were made by someone else and have a lot going on. There is Ironwood, blackwood, and blue material in there. They look great. I won't be using much of this stuff, so get it while you can. Also this week we have an Esquire w Bocote. I still love this model. Then there is an Acadiana Cheese Knife and a Gullet. I still get nervous grinding the Gullet.

Hope y'all had a great week and good luck sharking these.

1. Chicapea - 3/32" thick tapered A2 Steel, Sloat Special mixed wood scales w blackwood bolsters and liners and Ironwood scales w blackwood liners.

2. Esquire - 3/32" thick tapered A2 Steel, beautiful classic Bocote w black micarta liners and red G10 pinstripes.

3. Acadiana Cheese Knife - 1/8" thick tapered Magnacut Steel, black canvas micarta bolsters and liners with Blackout burlap scales and white g10 pinstripes.

4. Gullet - 1/8" thick tapered A2 Steel, Blue Jean burlap with black micarta liners and white g10 pinstripes.
