Here are the last of the March Specials. From the left we have Varg Lobo`s in tiger maple, rooikat`s clip point in black micarta, and gravydan`s 3/32" thick in tulipwood with red liners. These will be going out on Friday.

I cannot wait! Nice job on all of them!

This is now my new screensaver, to tide me over 'til the real thing is here.

I second Mr. Lobo's comments on the tulipwood.
That tiger maple is probably going to end up on my next scout.
 
Got the e-mail here in fort roo, john.
Now, I gotta grab some food, and go sit outside and stare at the mailbox.....
 
Let us know when you get it dirty.
It's raining here in Beloit WI so I won't be out playing today. But you should at least get some playing in.
Looks great btw.
 
Your going to like it. Ive been tinkering with mine. Its sharp ! The more I use it the more I like it. Im not to crazy about the Kydex sheath though. It rides to high and rubs against my love handles.

The knife is not popular enough for a name. I coined mine the Hornet.

My knife didn't come very sharp at all. I'm not a fan of the sheath either, so I'll put it in my Hunter's Pocket Sheath from Sharpshooter Sheath Systems.

The rivet for the belt loop on the kydex scratched the pin as you can see in the picture, but it's a user so it doesn't really matter.

Does yours have the little indent by the tip of the blade like mine does?

The Hornet is a cool name for yours. Mine is the Wolf.:D
 
Got my knife this morning.
I love it. I requested a kydex sheath without a loop, so I could wear it as a neck knife, use it as a pocket knife, or rig a paracord loop for belt wear. Mine comes in and out of the sheath with no blade rubbing, which I love.

Oddly (well, not really), mine came sharp as the dickens. I have already used it to cut up rolls, tallor ham, and cheese fir din-din. Also, chicken for the shelties.

I call mine 'the special', as it is.
 
Nothing yet.. in fact, the tracking hasnt been updated since IL :( But I remember how useless USPS tracking is for en route information. I hope this gets here soon.... everyone else is having all the fun.

Yup.. Ive checked the mail 3 times already - not in the morning delivery.. we will see if its in the afternoon one. If not, then tomorrow.
 
Knife is here! Its a nice compact package - the wood is beautiful. It is sharp.

The only blemish is that similar to Varg - the front pin has been scratched by (I think) the belt rivet - this is very unfortunate because it detracts from the beauty of the knife. :( (and because these things bother me).

I haven't put the knife back into the sheath because it seems to make it worse (maybe a design change is needed)- looks like I will have to figure out how to make my own leather sheath for it ... ah well, I was hoping this could wait.

But I love the compact blade and geometry... the wood again is wonderful. I cant wait to take it out and use it.

Sorry no pics yet- Im at work. I will try to get some later on.
