I just e-mailed John about another RUSK.

Just wanted to move this up top, to share the joy, and for 'lurkers' to enjoy.

That is nice.
Good choice on the scales too. Like that color scheme.

What a great design!

Looks like it would make a good little chopper, an excellent wood shaving knife, and a solid food prep tool. In short: A great camper. I'm a big fan of the point, too.

Excellent stuff. What kind of pants does it wear?

Best,

Hi rooikat -

That is a classic design, and it looks like a very user-friendly blade.

I look forward to seeing the next one!

best regards -

Actually, the one I just ordered now is going to be EXACTLY like this one.
For the mission requirements, no changes are going to be made. After an hour talking on the phone with the dsesignated end user, it was determined that no design or material changes could possibly improve it in any way.

Pants that look a lot like this......

It's a hide-ride sheath. I intend it to ride high on the belt, tight into the body for concealment.
The grips are also a bit slimmer then those John usually puts on his blades, for the same reason.
