This knife would work excellent for caping and it is hunting season:thumbup:.

Hey Bruce, nice sheath. What does "figured" walnut mean? Thx!

 

[Bruce Culberson]

What does "figured" walnut mean?

Regular walnut is just plain and straight grained. Figured walnut has natural highlights in the wood and the grain has curves:thumbup:.

Thanks for asking!

PP now paid. Thank You Bruce. i know from my first knife from you that this will be a well made, sharp blade, that holds 'just right' in hand. your knives are some of the best value for the price available anywhere. lucky for me, others have not yet discovered this !

Picked up this knife yesterday. again, the pics do not convey the "spirit" of the knife.
as soon as i opened the package and saw the knife, i had to immediately hold it. then, "Holy Shit, is this EVER a nice knife".
like most of my 50+ Custom FBs, blade profile and grind, handle size and shape, fit and finishing, are all right on. but unlike most of the others, it all comes together in a way making "the whole greater than the sum of it's parts". it has the ineffable quality of immediately capturing you visually and in hand. i think this is the ART of knifemaking, as opposed to the technical skills required.
also, Bruce's knives arrive truly SHARP ! not every knifemaker is also an excellent sharpener. i think they are slightly different skills.
this is my second knife from Bruce. i bought the first one (Drop Point Hunter, O1/Cocobolo) thinking i would help out a relatively new maker who is also from B.C. it was very inexpensive and i wasn't expecting much. so i was blown away when i got it. same "Holy Shit" reaction.
Thank You Bruce. i think your low prices may fool those who don't know, into thinking it's just another knife, because this special feeling your knives give, does not come through in the pictures. i.e. your knives are worth more than you charge. the 2 i have are very close to matching a Dozier or a Krein.

Hey Roland!

I know what you are saying, man. When I got mine, I was blown away, too. I started playing with it right away and was totally amazed at how well my little gem held up against what I threw at it. (Mine was the bottom one in the original thread.) I was amazed again when I shaved hair and paper afterwards. In fact, the only thing I've had to do other than wax it with Renaissance Wax (I use it on all my steel, leather, etc.) is run it across a strop. Four times. I'm. Not. Kidding. Mine holds an edge like nobody's business. I like it so much, I asked for more.

Hey Bruce! I'm still wearing it, lol!!!

I recently bought a knife from a fellow traveler on a Canadian gun board. I bought it from the pic and the description, as it looked like the perfect size for deer and such, was flat ground, had a great profile and a neat handle design. The maker's name was not known. The price was ridiculously low.

When it came I was truly amazed at the quality. I have made few blades myself and have owned a good may other maker's as well as commercial stuff over lotso years, but was never so impressed by a knife, as it was apparent that this tool was made to use, not cost an arm anD a leg and be mostly useless, and was built by a guy who obviously knows what a hunting knife is supposed to be.

The edge was a wee bit work-dulled, so I took a few swipeS on a steel and I was able to pop hairs of my arm like I had a straight razor.

After I did some detective work, I sussed out it was made by Bruce. Just wanted to take this opportunity to say "WELL DONE!"

Thanks for the review Roland. Enjoy your little knife!

I'm glad to hear you are liking your knife too Randy:thumbup: I have a few projects to finish before I get started on your other ones.

Elpaso,
I think this is the knife you bought:

That knife was 1 of 3 in the first batch that I ever sold - about 6 months ago! Thanks for the compliments.
