So I went ahead and tried scaling up my larger drop-point Bushcraft style knife, and this is what came out:thumbup: Just over 8 1/2"overall, 4" tip-to-guard, 3/16" thick 1075, with micarta handles held on with SS Corby bolts and a SS lanyard tube! These have sabre grinds (if it's gonna be thick, it oughtta show:cool:) and the flats are left 'as heat-treated' while the bevels (which come to a nice, thin edge on both knives) are machine satin finished. These are much more 'beefy' than my normal bushcraft style knives, there's nothing about them that feels delicate;)

As you can see, the black micarta handled knifeSPF has a black sheath with a dangler, and the olive micarta handled(SPF) knife's sheath has been left natural, and the knife comes with a paracord lanyard with a sliding antler 'button':thumbup: Both sheaths are exceptionally well made by Diomedes Industries (Talfuchre here on BF), and I'm not joking when I say these are the best sheaths I've seen from him:thumbup:

Asking $140 each, Paypal and shipping (in the US) included:thumbup: Paypal or USPS MO only, please. I've got no problem shipping outside the US, as long as you cover the additional charges.

Wheres the beef? - Oooh - thats where its at :D :D Nice stuff Walter - those look like great survival/bushy knives!
 
Thanks, gents! If TF weren't on vacation, he'd be here spewing the love that is the almost religious experience you feel when you get these in-hand:D;)

These were the first time I've use Corby bolts, and I almost messed 'em up, but I like the way they came out. I don't think I like the look as much as pins or hollow tubes, but on a knife that just begs for hard-use, I think the extra security is worth it:thumbup:
 
Walt, I'll take the black one. If this knife is anything like your "Purpose Driven" model, than its a must have!!!! PM me, thanks, Gene
 
Guys..I just got the Black one in the mail yesterday, what a knife...very awesome. This is my second Walt Davis blade, and I think I found my maker. Now for one of his choppers:D:thumbup:
