I just decided to start a new thread now that she has arrived. Some of the pics include my Bush Boot and large Sebenza 21 for size comparison. When ordering this I was trying to imagine what it was going to feel like based off of the specs from the website. I think my brain did pretty good on the figuring. Size is great. Very light weight. My kitchen scale says 3.5oz achieved by the 1/8 stock with the grind ( non sharpened on the top) and tapered tang. I am thinking about doing a pocket sheath like my Rick Lowe one for my Bush Boot and one in kydex to carry it like a neck knife or on my vest. The handle is very comfortable and am able to get a full grip that fills my hand even with the thin blade. I can't wait to get a patina going, gonna have to do some light kitchen slicing with it. It is very clear what this knife was intended for, last ditch light weight user. You definitely aren't going to do any bush-crafting with it but that isn't what I bought it for. Once I get some kydex for her I think she will primarily ride in the kangaroo pouch on the front of my ballistic vest when I am working. If anyone has any specific questions let me know. Here are the pictures.

Great pics Swatpup. Are you a police officer? You get 10% off all your purchases from me if you are. Be sure to remind me during the purchase process.

I really like your kydex. That little slot at the base of the handle is very cool. Nice work.

Gimme a e-mail, and I'll send you a t-shirt to make up for the 10% on this one.

Indeed I am. No need for the discount I will gladly pay full price for your work. I don't mind taking a discount from the large knife manufacturers but you seem to be a hard working honest guy who deserves every penny for the knives that you make. Thanks for the offer :thumbup:
 
Its not about singling you out. I have always done this, and do it for all veterans and first responders. You earned it, and its my way of saying thanks. Its a small thing IMO.

Thats awesome! Wish I would have know that 3 knives ago. I've been a Volunteer Firefighter since 1994.
