Talkin' about names for my knives with Talfuchre, and he suggested I stick with names guys could remember. Now, I'll eventually have some neck knives named "A-cup", "C-cup" etc. etc. 
but I figured I'd start with something a little less risqué and I think Moonshine fits this group of knives well. Simple, stout, unrefined, and a heck of a lot of fun:thumbup:
The Moonshine series will all be along these lines: Micarta handles, rough machine finished 5160, similar handle profile, all flats left 'as heat-treated' except wherever I bumped 'em with a belt a left a few scratches
Definitely not beauty contest winners, but they will be ready to work!
These are both 1/4" thick,cold-blued, with green canvas micarta scales. The Long-Clip with the finger choil(SPF) is 16 1/4" overall, 10 1/2" tip-to-plunge line. It's got a high sabre grind. The Drop-pointSPF is a measly 15 1/4" overall, 10 1/4" tip-to-plunge line. It's got a full-height convex grind. Both will get a convex secondary bevel, and both are ground fairly thin. Not delicate, but I don't like a knife (even a big knife) that won't cut, and I promise these will:thumbup:
(The Buck is just in there for size reference, it's not included
)
A couple of big, basic cutters! The price on these is: $185 each, including a very basic kydex sheath with nylon belt loop. Paypal preferred, though I will take a USPS MO, also. Shipping and paypal fees are included in the price. Please post an "I'll take it" in this thread and send me an email.
Thanks,
Walter
