Did a bunch of Scandi's in this batch. First up lets see some pictures of these Kevin Estallas. Of course, the convex one is 5/32" thick spalted 01 steel. The rest are 3/32" thick spalted 1095.

This handle material is a first for me. White Linen micarta. Looks just like bone. Neato.

Next up are two Arete's. Both 1/8" thick spalted 01 steel. One is wearing ivory paper micarta with a natural canvas liner sandwiched between two layers of 0.006" thick orange g-10. The other is Osage orange with no liner and nat can micarta pins and bullseye filler. Both available $210 shipped with JRE sheath.

And finally this Runt wearing fiery stabalized crotch Maple over nat can mic with nat can pins and bullseye filler. The blade is 3/32" thick spalted 01 steel. I also put a sliver of that 0.006" orange g-10 in there too. What a knife. $165 shipped with JRE sheath.

Andy What are the prices for the top group?
I'm loving the look on the BushBoot!! Very Nice indeed.
 
Love the white linen micarta.


That bushboot just syncs up perfectly also. The pattern on the blade and the wood are beautiful together.

They're base price $185 knives. All the handle options are base price too. So, $210 shipped with JRE.
 
Andy your evil.. I finally know that evil has a name, and it is you.:D

To fight this evil I will take the runt and the Arete in ivory micarta so others such as chainring will not have to suffer with this evil staring at them. Its my sacrifice, I know... what a great humanitarian i am:D
 
Stole the Ivory right out from under my nose!! :) Nice batch, Andy, and I appreciate you looking out for me Arijer! ;)
 
Using up some of that Christmas present already huh. Man that stuff is gourgoes chain, nice call. Andy you need to do more in this stuff that if fabulous.
 
that woodpecker is slick, like to see some more of those. very practical :thumbup:
 
Man, that woodpecker looks like a perfect little whittling/carving knife :thumbup: Those KE's look quite nice too. I must have missed the development of that design somehow. I really like the blade profile, tip placement, and where the edge is relative to the handle and your hand.

What do you want to see it on Matt?

Is it an illusion or is this one beauty marked?

Haha. No. No illusion. One end of the micarta was just a smidge different in color than the rest of the pin.

Unfortunately, arijer beat you to that Runt. Sorry.
 
If that convex Kevin Estela Bushcraft, top knife in first pic, is still around, I'd love to see a spine shot to get an idea of how thick the handle is.
Thanks
 
Hey guys,

ANDY NAILED THESE!!! I'm not done with my review yet but these are some of the nicest feeling blades in hand I've ever felt. The only way I can describe them is "warm." I know it is hard to comprehend but my review will be coming shortly and they haven't disappointed me yet. I'm on the mend and still recovering from a broken metacarpal so it has taken longer than usual for me to do my usual "real world" review. I just don't feel right reviewing a blade if I did it in my basement. Don't worry, it is almost done and will be posted in the next week.

Kev
