First off,thanks Tony for hooking these makers up with your patterns,knowledge & expertise,it drives these guys for perfection,you're the man !
OK,I asked Brent Cramer (Blades & Grace here on BF's) for some good looking stag,but I told him I wanted it to flare at the butt,but not too big,for the pocket,but also straight type bark & on the smooth side if he could do that.
Brent was fabulous to work with & he felt confident that he could also put a Yukon (aka Gimp,I think) shield & do it killer.
He said he could do this in CPM 154 ss for the blade.The blade grinds are outrageous & the whole knife is drool worthy. Brent uses a pivot bushing,and the liners are mill relived.This is a snapping,stout stag killer folder.I got right back on his list.
I did these pics off my new lap top & I hope they look good for you to see.The sun was still high but I couldn't wait any longer.
Check it out,this is the full 3-3/4" version & fits in my mitt really nice!
I'd like to take this time & add my opinion.I too love production knives,but this experience ,to have a knife such as this built from scratch by a craftsman,meet & discuss,one on one,can't be duplicated from a production knife.From the mouths of much more experienced custom knife fella's that i know , never was there a better time to order & acquire a custom handmade slipjoint.
Thank You Brent,
