You make some beautiful knives. This one pictured might be my favorite of any I’ve seen.

Thank you! That is a Rodeo with elk for a handle.

I've used sheephorn before as a handle on a Rodeo:

Heck even dyed and stabilized box elder with a rosewood spacer:

But elk horn is a natural for this model. Here's a different one:

I was introduced to Warren Goltz knives years ago by Bill Middleman, Bill's Cases. I've owned a few, this is the only one I have now. I had posted it on FB and Loyd McConnell (knifemaker) gave me some background on it. Warren's attention to detail is what he was known for, only made a few knives each year.

From Loyd:
Dan delavan’s show- about 86,87. Warren and I decided to challenge each other to make a “Rambo” style fighter complete with a saw on the spine. Coincidentally, each of us came up without talking to each other, a set of saw teeth that were the same by using a triangle file. The teeth were very aggressive! He worked in his basement mostly with files. I remember at one point he told me he was manic depressive. He just quit making knives because he spent too much time on them.

Hope it doesn't qualify as trolling, it's just that it is really a fixed blade, with a cutting edge & everything, Swiss made too..

Personally, I couldn’t bring that one to deer camp. I get that it’s a hunter, but it’s too darn pretty.

Just could not see myself splitting ribs from sternum with that. It's too pretty

Thanks man. I understand. I hear that sentiment about 50% of the time.

Thank you. I get what you're saying. It would absolutely do it though.

That's a really tough blade/knife check out JoeX's destruction testing/review he does on it. I couldn't believe how it held up. The Strongarm surpassed many many higher end knives and passed with flying colors. It would be a knife to bet your life on I believe. Check it out.
