That really is a great design. You’ve got convex zero down to a science. The two knives of yours I have stay sharp with a strop.. I thought I rolled the edge on the 8670 blade - full force chop into a tree stump and rolled my wrist, blade took sharp twist ( I don’t know if that made sense ) - ZERO rolls / zero damage !

This one fills a few rolls, machete, light chopper, carver / bushcrafter, kitchen, could be used any way it needs to be. Patina is starting to form. I love this knife

I Love seeing That.....I too, really think that design is good for just about anything...haha. It makes me happy that you like my work. With All the knives that you have used.....I couldn't ask for a better spokesperson.

8670 is another steel that I wish I didn't like So much. It works better than it should.
It gets crazy sharp. Good, thin edges. Your knife I made has sharper edges than most knives out there..& It's Thick.....Hopefully you can confirm that. Yet still, it's very durable. Imagine it Hard, on a thin blade......

Whoever wins the "Food Truck" knife today is going to be thrilled with its edge.
Winner is announced Tonight.


*also, please keep me posted on the Shadetree? I liked it's grippiness. I need to know if i should order more for future knives. I have one set in saving for Me.

THANKS

You make a hand and a half version of that, I’m down.

Closer to 2 handed depending on their sized. I opened up the handle length.

This brown handled one above is near perfect with swing, and balance. I don't believe anyone Needs anything more. I will make Lots of these in the future.
......But, I have (3) more in the pipeline for next year that are Obscene. They are too Big. I needed to have longer handles to help with balance. Now multiple handgrips can be used.
Those 3 are made with AEBL and A8Mod.
-0ne is claimed already

I love their Kephart. I hope this becomes a regularly offered model.

Pretty grain in the wood. The black accents really Pop.
I also like how softened the spine and jimping is.
Those broken edges help with how tough that blade is. Cool.

Thanks ! Compliments to Paul … around 8oz, 6“ AEB-L, Cocobolo, if I remember right. Very light and nicely balanced.

That's a LOT of character, right there.

I caught the DEK2 before anything else.

I didn't think that one was hiding lol

That's a LOT of character, right there.

No doubt. Just the way I like them character but still a full blade. No grind marks and a solid handle.

I can’t believe the fuller. It goes from the grind line to the top edge of the blade and from ricasso to the clip. The fuller couldn’t be any larger in any direction.

I got one of these too, but the leather handle had apparently rotted off and was replaced by some tropical (?) hard wood. Just had a sheath made for it by Harry Savage, as the sheath that came with it was very flimsy. Very happy with the sheath Harry made. John
