OK. Bunches of goodies to post today!

First, I put a handle on this Koster blank I bought a LONG time ago. Thats white fiberglass rod inside those lanyard tubes at the front.

Chip sanded out, ergos still good. I had a nice thick handle to start with, and got lucky the chip was pretty shallow.

I had another large Nessmuk in this batch too wearing Shadetree burlap and canvas micarta. Man, this looks neato. The black is canvas, and the brown in burlap.

The pins and lanyard tube are micarta.

Also proud of this Arete. Woulda been Rotte's, but the handle is .2" too thin. Handle is Osage over nat can micarta with nat can micarta pins, liner, and bullseye filler.

Another great bunch of knives Andy! Will there be any pics of anymore Bushcrafters or Bushboots coming soon ... ?
 
But of course there'll be budgies.
 
If you want my opinion, KSF Recluse and Terassaurs look better with a scandi grind.

Ladyfinger is nice.
 
Have you had a chance to look at the photos I sent you? Nice collection of knives for the Blade show should go in hurry have to get to the table quick to have a chance to buy a knife.
Thanks,
Michael
 
Wow :eek:! Those look great. That blue G-10 Terrasaur is awesome. The Arete is the bomb! (Makes me wish I had smaller hands....)

Those are some sweet looking blades Andy: you are out of control!
 
Michael, I got the pics yesterday. Thanks for them! I'm going to have the Mrs scan them at work. I love seeing my knife get used! Nice fire too.

Rotte, let not your heart be troubled. I will make you a fatty thats just as nice.
 
Those are beautiful - that cocobolo over osage is a fantastic combo!! Do want!!!

EDIT to add: Because of the remote possibility that either the Osage Terrasaur or Arete are available, I would like to express great and abiding interest! :)

They are both available. You pick.
 
Great Batch Andy!
Is the osage Terassaur available?
If chaninring doesn't take it, let me know.
 
Actually he quickly snagged that Osage Terassaur. The other is available.
 
I love that blue g10. That stuff makes awesome handles. If only it had some yellow g10 liners... or maybe.... yup I'm gunna say it... orange liners. :D
 
I have orange liner material. But then it would look gay-tor ish. Can't let that happen anymore.
