Is there a good website that has detailed pictures of Mike Obenauf's knife line? His website has the Model 1, 2 and, 3 but, the picture of the Model 1 and 2 really doesn't show me how they are different. I have also read that he makes another knife model or two.

I would appreaciate some clarification of what Model's he currently makes, what differentiates them from each other and, some good pictures if you have them so I can compare them against each other.

TIA!
 
I too would love to see that Sid, i have a small Model 2 Obbie, but i would love to see some side by side pictures of the different models for comparison.

Here's a link to ACK's with some good pictures, trouble is some of the knifes are sold so there's no information about them.

I'm at a loss as to tell you where to go for the pics. There is the model 1, model 2, and model 3. There is a collaboration with Pirela, and Dexter has a fixed blade by Mike. I have heard that Mike is getting ready to release a model very similar to Kit's model 21. I think the 21 is a modified sheepsfoot blade. The biggest difference between the 1 and 2 is the bolster shape and handle shape. The 1 has a larger bolster that is sorta squared off and then the handle is slim. The 2, my favorite has a handle that is the same width top to bottom from front to back, including the bolsters. The knife has a slight drop at the rear, and the wide blade along with the handle shape absolutely trips my trigger!! I have a large model 2 framelock on order that should be ready by Christmas. To me, from me!!
