Just finished one for myself

[Phillip Patton]

I believe this may be my first boot knife. Blade is W2/416 laminate, handle is black paper micarta. The blade is just under 6" (the legal limit here in Indiana).

 

[Bob Katilus]

that's fantastic. Nice and clean.

 

[Bailey Knives]

Wow I really like that.

 

[machine1960]

Nicely done. It looks great.

 

[KCGGBC]

Sexy!

I always enjoy seeing your work but this is my favorite to date. I like everything about it. If I weren't a poor maker and could afford to collect you'd be high on my list. If I ever win the lottery I'll give you a call right after I get all the tools ordered on my wish list. HEHEHE

 

[AddictedToGear]

Very beautiful knife! It has a hint of tactical with a strong presence of country and gentlemen in there. That is just wonderfully done.

 

[Mack]

That is wicked and beautiful at the same time. Nicely done sir.

 

[lambertiana]

Beautifully executed.

 

[Cperilli]

Wow that's cool .love the blade steel and shape. Great job as usual

 

[on_the_edge]

Awesome blade, Phillip. :thumbup:

Great looking blade. I really like how the overall simplicity of the handle and gaurd instantly make your eyes go to the san mai blade. Good job on this one.

 

[Shawn Hatcher]

Another fine example of your work, Phillip. Very impressive! :thumbup:

Ditto with everyone else . Fantastic blade overall. But i must say,HOW DARE YOU KEEP THIS FOR YOURSELF while us poor collectors search the world to buy such gems.

 

[Phil Tham]

The only ones I get to keep are the ones I mess up too bad to sell...I'm jealous. Fantastic knife!

 

[Phillip Patton]

Thanks for all the comments, everybody, I appreciate it!

Well, I would actually love to sell this one, but it had a welded tang, and the weld failed, so the tang only sticks into the handle about 1-1/8". Probably would never be a problem, but I'm not comfortable selling it like that so, I'm not.

Here's another one I just finished that I wish I could sell. But my stamp is crooked and part of it is below the guard....

 

[MeatRobot]

that dagger went into my knife porn folder

 

[fishface5]

dude . . . you must have some freakin' huge boots!
the knife is gorgeous, your grinds are as always impeccable

Oh my! What an absolutely gorgeous knife. That really needs to be owned by a good hunter. It's just begging to be used.

Seriously, those are awesome.
