Hi John -

Wow - that is quite a collection!!

I like how they are arranged in the photos too - several interesting knives in that collection - the 6th one from the right in the lower picture, is that the oldest one?

Thanks for posting the pictures -

4th from the left is the oldest. The one you are talking about is Dave`s rendition of a Roach Belly.

5th from left. What is it? Ironwood handle and specs?

I`m pretty sure that one was designed by a guy named Steve. It`s called the Phoenix, but if I remember right, that one had a 5" blade.

That is a great looking collection. I am really liking that hatchet.

Well that is a damn nice looking knife. He must be a genius.

5th from the left is indeed a Phoenix. It's got a Manzanita handle.
Thanks for the compliments guys. I hope to double the number.

John is right about the Modified Roach Belly. It's just his Roach Belly blade mated with his Camp Knife shaped handle.
It may not be the oldest but it's the one that gets used the most. I added a forced patina with salsa.
John is also right about the Drop Point Hunter being the oldest, and possibly the most pristine. I keep it waxed and hidden in my Bug Out Bag, awaiting armagedon.

Good idea! I also use my RB's more than any other knives.

John is building me a Kentucky Woodsman right now. That's your design, isn't it?
