Newt and Ed just got these finished. As you can see, they have a heavy Jimmy Lile influence. Very similar to his legendary Grey Ghost model. These knives have 6 1/2" Flat ground S30V blades, 7/32 stock. The one has a green and black linen micarta handle and the other is brown canvas micarta. Sheaths are made in our shop by Ed Martin and are Black and Brown with the round EzeLap diamond hone on the front. Thanks for looking.

Very nice, I owned one of his Gray Ghosts a long time ago. Great looking sheaths too.
 
Many years ago...shortly after Mr. Lile passed away...I got to meet Mrs. Lile and Jimmy's brother at a knife show in San Jose CA.

AND I got to hold the knife your's is modeled after...

It looks like you hit the proverbial nail on the head....

Nice job!

Thanks for the feedback folks. We have owned a couple of Liles, but never one like these. I love the design. It is one solid knife. We have some other models inspired by Mr. Liles work, and as we build different ones I will try to post pics.

These two knives, by the way, are available on our website.

Thanks for looking folks, we are really enjoying being part of Blade Forums.
