Just got this knife about two weeks ago from Leroy and Heath , "let me know what you think of it" , I was going for the vintage look on this one it's my second custom knife and I think it looks great . It has flat bolsters and four leather spacers a ATS -34 blade and Lignum Vitea handle . Sorry about the cell phone pic's I need a better cameraView attachment 318614View attachment 318615View attachment 318616
 
Your pictures dont come up. Its too bad cause I love the 102 and am a big fan of Heath's work. You need to use one of the host sites, such as Photo Bucket or image shack.
 
I really like the 102. I don't care for the sheath and I would have used an older knife like a one liner. These are just my opinions but the knife is great... Heath does excellent work. The leather spacers are so classic and the LV reminds me of the oldies. I have a 102 made pre factory with Gaboon ebony and one made of LV and love them to death.
 
Looks grand. I for one love the 102 woodsman, and feel like it's an excellent hunting, and woods bumming knife that is right at home when paired with a small hatchet or axe. Also I've had a very favorable experience with Paul Bos heat treated ATS-34. Most regard it as outdated, but in all honesty it's pretty darn close to being 154CM, with a different moniker. With the exception of CPM-154CM. Very nice knife.
 
Very nice! Congrats on that one:thumbup:
Love that ATS-34, and Heath did a great job on that one! Thanks for sharing.
 
Thanks for the comments everyone , Matt I agree with you about the sheath it should have a english style sheath or a old 102-s custom sheath , and once again thank you Heath for a awesome knife .
 
I really like the grain orientation they used with the Lignum Vitae. Great looking knife.
