Ricardo Velarde semi-integral 5 1/2" BG42 deeply hollow ground blade stainless chute, amber stag scales.

Not crazy about the logo placement(prefer more towards the ricasso), and wish the lugs were a little skinnier and maybe 3/32" longer each side, but it will be the centerpiece of my chute knife collection, regardless.

What do you think?



Best Regards,

I agree with you about the logo placement but damn those scales are nice. (well the one we can see)

It is a deeply electro etched....and therefore not easily removed.

My experience in knives is that sometimes you just have to see the way certain elements are and accept them or reject them. I accept this knife the way it is...it is very seldom that I am completely satisfied with every element of a knife.

Very nice little knife, STeven! As our British brethren are fond of saying, you must be chuffed.:thumbup:

A 5 1/2" blade on a chute puts it in the "medium" sized category, and I am pretty stoked!

LOL...I was talking with Mr. Long today about the specs for sheaths for a couple of bowies and we were both slightly amused that we were calling the one with a 10 inch blade the "small" knife. The larger one has a 13 inch blade, so it is all relative.:D I really like the way the grinds look on that knife, especially the top clip.:thumbup:
 
Very nice STeven

I agree with you about the logo placement but it is far from an issue and would not bother me

Fantastic stag very handsome

Shame it is stainlless:D

Thanks Joe!

I understand about the stainless, I am sure that a rust magnet W2 integral would make you much happier, so I am commissioning Jason Knight to make you one.

After he stabs you with it(due to the frustration of having to make a forged Loveless-style integral with HOLLOW GRINDS), and your blood rusts it out, let me know what you think.:D

Very nice, congrats!

I like the shorter blade on the chutes myself, but this is a lovely piece.
