Sweet!!! Really nice looking knife brother!! How does it fire??? Feel in hand?? Ya know, the usual questions knife dudes ask before ordering one!!!
Thanks!!

Yeah!! The Hogue is really different when comparing it to other flippers. When closing the blade, there is resistance when it is about 75% closed. Hard to explain, but it is one HELL of a flipper!! Not usually into the tacticooly look, but something about this one grabbed my eye! Glad it did, because I'm really liking it!!

I drafted up a couple of knives and after some sorting and organizing Adam Vigil has agreed to make them for me. These are 2 of 5 that I am currently waiting on, the others are from other knifemakers, of which one of them is also in this forum, and an excellent craftsman at that.

I've included a link for anyone who wishes to download a high res PDF file containing the knives to scale. With Acrobat one can easily adjust the scale which the program prints out any surface area of a PDF doc with very small increments in size change. Thereby one can decide the overall length they wish the knife to be, and through a little trail and error make the program print it out to the exact length they want, ready for cutting and using.

Given the low ratio of handle to blade that these knives have, it best to not go less than about 11 & 3/4" overall length because you may find the handle becomes too small to grip for large hands.

I have fused the designs of 3 great knife-makers into each blade and added a little bit in myself to aid the melding in a seamless manner.

They should be very nice knives once Adam is through with them. Will post pics when they arrive.:)

Great design, with the distal tapered tang and the angle of the handle and the sweet spot lookin' like it'll end up just behind the swell on the larger knife. This will be a sweet chopper. Can't wait to see how they come out, please post pics when it's done. :)
