Just finished these up in the nick of time, I head out to the rig in a few hours.

The larger one is a custom order and I figured I'd make two at the same time. Both blades started out life the same, but screwed up grinding it so I made a slight design change. There both about the same size, just the little one is a hair shorter and a bit slimmer with a clip type blade.

2 7/8" blades S30V stainless hand rubed satin finish, heat treated by our own Roger Linger, gonna miss his heat treating
6 5/8" open
3 7/8" (larger one) 3 3/4" (smaller one) closed
Hunter orange G-10 handles
titanium linners and pocket clip, sandblasted finish and the smaller one is heat colored.

I'm glad to see some bright handles. I dont know about you guys but deanimation and tactical endeavours don't seem to take up most of my day

They look like great utility knives Will, I wish more makers would put out some bright colours, it sure makes finding them easier if its dropped on the trail or left at the last camp.

Thanks, while I am planning a couple with black G-10 handles, I do like the lighter colors and think the orange was requested to be able to find it in the woods!

I wouldn't have thought I'd like a blaze orange handle, but they really look good.

Curly maple would look great, too.

Thanks, I didn't think I'd like the orange myself, but with the conturing and the the grain of the G-10 showing up I kinda like it too and may have to do a few more sometime.

I was sorely temped to use some spalted and stabilized maple, may do that next time.
