New Model, and New Feature

[BBQ BOY]

I'm not feeling the new pin design. Sometimes, less is more.

Its fine that they aren't everyone's thing. I'm not upset by anyone offering differing views on them. Keep them coming.

just giving the man a chance to brag.

Hey, just teasin you buddy!

Those pins look pretty neat. I would vote to keep it on some and go simple on others, mix it up, they will both sell! I think some of my favorite knives are the "throwback" old school Fiddlebacks with beautiful wood scales, a bulls eye tube and no liners...those have a simple beauty that I miss seeing. It would be nice to see a few of those pop up every now and then, just for old times sake

Those carvers look really nice!

I'm gonna kind of agree. I absolutely love the micarta combos you come up with. I have enjoyed seeing your growth as a maker. But honestly, that is not what drew me here in the beginning. I miss seeing the laminated wood.

The new pins are neat too. I do not, in any way, dislike the new pin style. However, it strikes me as fancy, not user. The majority of the rest of your blades have a way of asking to be covered in dirt, tree sap, fish guts and deer blood. I don't get that same feeling with the disappearing pins. Maybe more of a 'gentlemans knife'. But maybe that's just my perspective.

Any chance of a FB fillet in the future?

While unique...I prefer them without. Admittedly, I am a simple man...with simple tastes. To ME, I already thought your fantastic tastes in handle combinations, along with the bullseye trademark had a very subtle way of screaming "USER CHIQUE" [Definition: hard user, yet elegant]

You have already carefully crafted a very distinct brand for yourself...don't forget to smell the roses as you experience this journey :thumbup:

I like it. I would rather see it in micarta pins like many of your knives already are. I might have seen one of the new ones with natural pins. Keep up the good work sir. But since you said keep em coming... make one with black & white mainly as the handle with 10 white pins in it & the bullseye can be the bowling ball....call it the "10 pin special"

Just a thought, that is all.

The dissapearing pins remind me of the dot face painting by Australian Aborigines:

I love it man.
