Let's see your Osprey K/T

Some Recon pics from messing around on IG. Excited to work with this one more, but it is looking to be a great all around woods/survival tool

It's a fun one for sure. The kind of knife that makes you want to go out and swing it at stuff. If I had to choose based on photos alone between this and the Osprey Ranger, I would go for the straighter handle and less aggressive profile in general of the Ranger without a second thought. But, in the short time I have had this knife I am starting to really enjoy the handle. The large guard and flared butt you gain a better appreciation for when handling the knife and the confidence they give that you have a secure grip. Balance is great for a decently sized chopper. It's a thick piece of cpm154, but pretty nimble and has one of Chris' fantastic edges. A full on review is coming after more time with it

Thank you for sharing you photos of the Recon with us. I am always impressed with the photos you come with it never gets boring and mundane. Great Job!

Danny, I am glad that all of the design features that I incorperated into the blade are translating to you. I am looking forward very much to reading your upcoming review!
 
Glad I pulled the trigger on this Hunter. Exceptional profile. The evergreen burlap is one of the best and this knife fits great and balances just where I would want it in a blade this size. The swedge not only looks amazing it gives this 5/32" thick knife a nice tip for detail work. I think this might be my favorite cold hammer finish pattern on the flats offered by Chris (though you can't see it in this pic, it is similar to the style on cpm154 fiddlebacks).

All around excellent knife. I cannot believe I let it sit a while before claiming (and that it was still there for me to claim!). I can see my self with a non swedged, thin Apache somewhere down the line.

Feral, that Starry Night EDU is fantastic! That Warthog(?) ain't too shabby neither. :thumbup:

As much as I like the koa on your new Razorback, I am always drawn to your Raptor when you share a photo Peter.
 
The Mamushi looks great in a simple black 👍

Here's mine. I really like this profile.

Peter,
Great photos I really appreciate you taking the time out of your trip to take these photgraphs. You really know how to capture my work!
I am still surprised how my work looks trough other peoples eyes and photographs give me a glimpse of their/your perspective and they always look different to me than when I was working on them. Maybe its the long break inbetween staring at them for hours as well that offers a fresh perspective. Either way I am always pleased with what I see. Speaking for myself it is a huge reward to see a person proud enough in something I made to show it off.

Thank you for sharing with us!
