Hey Folks.... I haven't been around these parts in a while. Still alive, just real busy. Nothing fancy to show off... just a few of Bush Blades. Real ugly but that's how I like'em!

Barong (Almost a Smatchet)

Necker

Drift

Long Knife

Puukko

Trade Style

Bushcraft

Kitchen

Chopzilla

Love the barong and the chopzilla.

 

[J. Doyle]

Diggin' that necker and long knife.

 

[Jsega51]

That trade knife would look right at home stabbed into a butcher block at the local general store in 1887, it looks great

 

[herdbull]

They are all very nice but the Chopzilla speaks to me.

The possible mid-tech bushcraft knife looks awesome, although I would like to see the ricasso reduced.

 

[Dusty One]

I like all of them.....Thanks for showing !

The Barong, Trade knife and that necker are Saweet! Although they are all nice blades.

 

[john april]

nice work, meant to use utilized

Yeah.... the ricasso is long for a reason. I put a bearing divot there for a bow drill friction fire setup. I could work it in a little more compact, though.

would love to see a WilderKhuk !

 

[Josh Rider]

Too cool!

 

[coldsteelburns]

Sweet! I always appreciate seeing your knives (and leather work!), Rick.

I especially like that bolo and the necker, which has very nice lines. I'm trying to figure out the grind on that bolo as I can see the plunge with a bit of a shorter bevel, but the grind kind of disappears into the blue/bleach patina, which I think looks cool.

love your stuff!

"Almost a smatchet" and drift are both looking good.

 

[Camber]

That's right...I forgot (from when I saw it on Instagram) you but the divot in there. It's a nice touch. My preference is obviously personal...I just like to be able to get my grip close to the edge for more power.

It's a really sleek, pretty knife though.

Barong looks great !

My wife says you just made a mistake and that was your way of covering it up,,, she knows that's how I operate LOL

Lol.... would be lying if I said I've never done that, before. When knifemaking hands you lemons, grab the tequila and salt!

Beautiful work. What are the blade lengths of the Long Knife and the Trade model? And what is the finish on the corded handles for durability?
