After staring at the Hog Muk for half an hour I also think it's convex.

No, Lord, no. 
It will never end, will it?
All the local compasses already point in the direction of my basement.
...and here I am looking with lust at yet another knife.
I'd ask Tony G or Cobalt for help, but they're just as sick as I am.

You guys gave me the sickeness as well. No warning or anything. After the Cupidganz and the ASH1's coming, I saw an auction for a HOGSJTAC LE today and one thing led to another and well you know the rest of the story. I'll post some pics when it shows. All this Mucking around is going to cost me more now. I thought I could quit anytime...... I was wrong.

Kelly ... I would say I'm sorry.
But I'm too far gone for that.
Instead ... I'll be waiting for those pics.

I'll probably holdout for a ganzaaaa Muk...
hand shaped handles all the way... hopefully in micarta! :thumbup:
You can bet we'll see them in the ganzas...
after all, there will probably be a ganza every other month this year.
First one was in Feb... the earliest I've seen one.
April, June, August, October... and yep... December.
Wow... how about that... 6 ganzas this year.
More infi that we'll all know what to do with.

The more I look at these, the more I like the MM. If the price is right, I'll do more than one. I'll probably try the BussMuk just to say I did. But, with the amount of INFI that passes through my P.O. Box I usually get to try most models in hand without a CC charge. As my ancestors would say, I'm an INFI Sogwili.

No, no, no! You must like the big one and make sheaths for it. PLEASE!!!
(Don't I beg nicely? That has to be worth something.)
For those of you who don't know, Piter makes some sweet kydex sheaths. Here is one he did for my Puzzle Heart (which was once his). Picture by him too.

Jerry,
I really like the HogMuk's design, but I'm a bit confused...If the MiniMuk knife would be more of a carver/skinner, why not give it the same coil/talon hole treatment as the HogMuk? It seems to me that the choil/talon hole treatments should be reversed, based on the size and whatnot. I am intrigued by both, but would REALLY have use for the mini. I just hope that it ends up similar to the HogMuk proto so that the blade begins as close to the handle as possible for fine woodcrafting work.

PiterM's kydex sheaths are EXCELLENT! All my Busses wear them! Here are some examples
I also hope PiterM will take care of my Hog Muk
