    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:

    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.

    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?
