Modern Lambsfoot?

Great news al round.

Like the looks, very clever having the frame drilled but the scales not- means you can have exactly what you want :cool:

Undyed Camelbone, Ram's Horn, certain Euro woods- Olive, Juniper could all add to the allure. Micarta would be a fine match too. Hope I can access one in Europe as I did with the ForumKnife 20.

Regards, Will
 
Looks fantastic Mike, I’m hoping ebony scales are one of the options.

Mike, Since you're optioning the lanyard hole, any chance you could get a vote going for scale material and see what emerges? I see a lot of desire for wood and Viper did a great job with the Amboyna Burl on the same frame before. Are there options you've already decided on, or are you still deciding? Viper does a lot of CF, G10 and micarta, but I also prefer wood. They've done Bocote and Zircote and Olive quite a lot. Ebony is "classic" and a very hard wood, but I'll bet that a hard but prettier wood would sell a lot more knives. My vote is Cocobolo or Amboyna Burl. IMHO, the Amboyna Burl viper you carried just after last year's BF knife is the prettiest wood I've seen on a knife. Any input you can give the group yet?

Nah. I already have my mind set on ebony, cocobolo, stag, smooth ram as a nod to history (if we make it happen in general). If they can't accommodate those - I may get back for other preferences.
 
I've been looking to add a lambsfoot to the collection for a while so I would definitely be down for one. Looks like a very exciting project, well done Mike.

Very excited. How far away before you open them for early reserve?

Still working on it. This economy has me very concerned and I wouldn't expect to have them before years end.

Many thanks for the thumbs up. But most importantly thank you for the priceless advice and direction.
 
Thanks for the update, Mike. I prefer no lanyard hole. As far as the feel (to the eyes), the blade seems canted downward, but not a deal breaker.

Those are good scale options and I would definitely get at least one. If you do end up going with micarta, my vote is for linen micarta of just about any color.
