Jeff,
Really like this one from Richard Rogers, what is the closed length?

I remember when you pilfered that knife. I also remember that it was stunning. Good to see it again.
Ken. . . .closed length is 3 1/4”.
If you're going to be at Blade Show, I'll bring it. Won't even charge you to play with it. Drooling on the other hand. . . .
Blade 2006 and I only hit Richard in the noggin' once.![]()
The Gunstock has long been a favorite of mine. I collected Gunstock pattern knives for many years and have divested myself of all the production examples I had but I still have some of the best custom pieces. With a number of custom makers I actually asked them to build their first traditional gunstock pattern knife. Several of these are pictured below;
I asked Tony Bose to build me a Gunstock pattern and when he delivered it Reese had built one and I was offered the opportunity to purchase it. Below are Tony & Reese Bose ser# 0 for this model.
