    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!

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

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

    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.

    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. :thumbsup:

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

    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.
