Great work......like I told ya buddy, YOU are The King of the tapered-tang!

That's awesome Rick! Give us some details...

I like that a lot. Would be a very handy carry piece.

Don't know much about any of it but time will change this. Getting ready in the next few weeks to make a 1200 mile loop to pick up a Little Giant Hammer.

[Murray White]

Very nice little knife. Chris -- Rick could not do better than to create a nice little Stingray sheath for that fine knife.

 

[CapitalizedLiving]

I'll take it!! But seriously... good work. The combination of clean lines and steel/handle textures creates an excellent aesthetic. I would carry and use this for sure.

 

[Gary Mulkey]

Very nice, Rick. I like a low layer Damascus and your handle work is always top notch.

Are you planning a trip to Nebraska?

Maybe I should have said; 'Welcome to the wild side'.
