Man, what is it about walnut . . . . . . walnut trim, walnut gun cases, walnut furniture, walnut knives . . . . it just sets everything off.
Great looking knife T2, talk about early bird getting the worm @ 4:30am in the morning . . . . . :D
Great work once again BA, just a showpiece of a "user" . . . . :)
Be safe.
 
Well, I lost out on other BA offerings by not getting on them fast enough. But this one, Bill was kind enough to make for me and informed me at the time he posted. I am so excited about this one. I agree with you, I think she's a beauty.

T2, you haven't seen anything yet . . . . . wait until you open that box when it gets there, be careful not to get too excited, these knives draw blood like the Red Cross . . . . .:D
"Scary Sharp" I think is how BA describes them . . . .
Be safe.
 
GudGawdAlmighty! is all I can say.

That SOB is gorgeous,BA!

My friend: tower2 normally only collects custom Hinderer folders....has enough to start his own museum! but I gotta notion,when he opens that box,he'll pee just a few drops....

And start building a fixed-blade collection,here....

JMO!

Gnarly and Tower, folders are nice, but there ain't nothing like a strong beefy fixed blade!
 
Wow that is cool, the Damascus in that one is really unique and has a great flowing quality to go with the handle. Awesome job!
 
Gnarly, you will see it "in the flesh" in Ohio. Based on tracking, I would expect to have it tonight or tomorrow night!
 
Yup, just re-checked and its out for delivery. I have a dentist appointment @ 15:45 PST, so I'll probably get it when I get home. I'm SO excited!
 
BA,

Our friend: tower2 & I are meeting up with Biker Trash and several jillion other KnifeVultures,at Rick Hinderer's Picnic on the last weekend in July.

How far are you from Rick's place? Wooster,OH.?

BA,

Do we plan to look you up (and maybe drag you along with us?)

Does Aldo sell good steel?

Is the Pope Catholic?

Does disco still suck?
