Who you making that knife for? Jeff Spicoli?

Not Jeff Spicoli, some other guy.

Silly wagglebee, these are "interim shots" ...but seriously, "hate" is such a strong word. I hate to use it.

Well, I hate the thought of you not working on a new knife for me ... so, maybe you could start working on it soon.

P.S. You don't even need to do interim shots if you don't want to.

Fabulous blade grinds, Kerry. Waiting with baited breath (?whateverthehell that is?) for the intensity of gnarliness.

"bated breath"
It's a phrase from Shakespeare

Bated is a shortened form of abated (meaning - to bring down, lower or depress). 'Abated breath' makes perfect sense and that's where the phrase comes from.

I thought it was when a fat girl ate lots of bacon so her breath would "bait" a man to follow the trail.
I learn something new every day.

I really like that blade combo, Kerry. It's one of Tony's many, many inspired ideas.

And now for something just a little different, ivory golf divot tools. The top five are elephant ivory with the far-right two being bark ivory. The bottom row of four are covered with mastodon ivory.

Are those divot tools for sale or are THEY going to Atlanta?

I like to the top row left, let me know.

Really a spectacular knife Kerry. That stag is as nice as you said it would be.

Great knife Kerry..... Love everything about it.

You done good man!

Looking more and more like "Bose work" with every knife.

BTW. What's the thickness of those blades?

 

[jivedaddy]

Great knife Kerry, every part of it looks outstanding!!!

 

[jeffsaul]

Magnificent Kerry,

The lines have been blurred between you and "The Bose Boyz!", upon first gaze, I couldn't tell who made this piece.

Great work,

Jeff

Against my better judgement, here is Tony's #4 Stag PT for comparison. I decided to try this knife out with the semi-skinner nail nick on the same side as the master blade. It works pretty good without getting the pull too far out on the tip.

Dang...I recon I could have done a better job shootin pix of my own knife. There is a "do-over" in my future.

That is exactly what I thought when I first saw this knife. Your pics of both knives look great to me Kerry.
