Well, I enjoyed doing the Woodsman run, and now that I am full time I want to do several more runs. They'll be small runs of 10 participants max. This time you will get your choice from a selection of handle materials I have good stock of. I don't take money up front, but please don't sign up if you're not serious about taking the knife.

Here are the handle choices. I have Natural Canvas Micarta, Black Canvas Micarta, and Red Linen Micarta. For wood, I have Cocobolo, Wenge, Osage, Curly Hickory, Bocote, and Paduk in plenty, and will limit the exterior wood choices to those. For underlay, I have Natural Canvas Micarta, Black Canvas Micarta, Maple, Hickory, Paduk, East Indian Rosewood, and Osage. You can pick and choose from this list.

My knives are 01 steel with a full height convex grind and I use at least one Corby Bolt (ss) on the handle. I start with 5/32 thick 01 stock.

The price is $165 shipped for this knife. A JRE sheath will be made available for purchase, or, you can choose to have Tal make you a sheath. You will have to negotiate a price with him at that time. As a LAST resort, I will make you a sheath for $75 minimum.

This thread is the signup for the run of Ladyfingers. Please detail your handle choices in your post.

1. Teacher, details TBA. Thanks Teacher!
2. Darteres - Cocobolo over Osage - Red Liner - Bullseye Tube - Thanks Darteres.
3. Blackmor - Paduk over EIRW - Black Liner - Plain Tube - Thanks Blackmor!

Make me #1.........
I'll get back to you asap on the other choices. :thumbup:
I need time to think.... :D
Thank you !!!
 
Cool with me. Let me know what you work out. We could switch the liner and outside wood if you'd like.
 
I'd like to go with a red liner and Osage underlay with the Cocobolo overlay and the bullseye lanyard tube, if the bullseye lanyard is possible on these. Same as the Woodsman. Thanks!
 
Hey Andy
Sign me up for one of these with Paduk over East Indian Rosewood, with which ever liner you think would look best.
Like the one you were talking about. Sounded too good to pass up
Think I'd like both knives with plain metal lanyard tubes if possible
Thanks
Ian

No problem at all Andy... I wasn't even sure what it was... it just looked cool... :thumbup: :D

I'll figure out something else.

Also, my apologies for being so late in posting my choice... it had slipped my mind. :o
 
No apologies necessary, my friend, I had not intended to begin production on these runs till after the show. I posted an update this morning. Those will happen frequently.
 
Sanding handles for you guys today.
 
:D:D:D:D:D

Is it time to send $$$$$$ yet Andy? :)
I don't want to be late. ;)

Thank you........... :thumbup:
 
Not yet please. Maybe by Friday.
 
No problem my friend..... I just did not want to be "tardy". ;)
Whenever you say the word......... :thumbup:
 
These three knives are complete. Blackmor has paid for two already, and his Bushcrafter will begin next week. Darteres has a Woodsman coming. I will start that one next week too. Teacher, your knife is ready. I'll try to get pics today.

I have two JRE sheaths for these. Is anyone wanting one? Are y'all planning to send them out to Teacher? I can order more and I'm sure it won't be too long if you all want JRE sheaths.

:confused:
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but why would they send them out to me?? :confused: :eek: :D

OK, time to send $$$ now?
How much is a JRE sheath?
Do you have a 'dangler' style Andy?

How do you prefer payment?
Payment info......

Thank you................. :thumbup:
 
I think he means are you planning to send them to TF? Anyways, Andy, would you like me to pay for one now and one later or both now or when done? Whatever is best for you. I want to send mine to TF. Hopefully he'll be able to make the sheath we discussed in my original thread.
 
Sorry guys. I meant sending the sheaths to Talfuchre.

We can send them whenever you'd like. It is time to pay, but I intended to get pics before asking y'all to pay. Unfortunately I spent last night and this AM hugging the toilet. I'll be back on my game tomorrow. I feel like dirt, and won't be heading down to the basement today.

Teacher, I'll take a pic of the sheath I have. It isn't a dangler. It does have a firesteel loop though. They'll cost $15.

Andy,
Sorry for the late reply... work has been 'crazy' lately.....and I do hope you are feeling better.

I don't see a pic yet, but if it is just the standard JRE sheath that is fine.... I'll make a "dangler" out of it myself...... ;)

I'll get the payment sent this evening.

Thanks..... gotta run now..... :thumbup:
