New models? Do tell! :)

Uhoh. I got no funds! Stupid shotgun project! Oh well, can't wait to see how they all look!
 
I'm looking forward to seeing what the Buschfinger and Bushcraft Karda look like. I still want a Hunter first though... :)
 
The two new models in this batch are the Hiking knife, and the Palmer. And, I have two Snubnoses.
 
I've got 11 more to mark today, then pics are up. I want to get them up before noon today!

Alrighty. This is the Bushfinger. Its an evolution of the Ladyfinger, guardless, and without the sway in the spine. The knife measures 8.5" long and has a 4" drop point blade. This one is spalted 01 steel with a convex sabergrind. The handle is black linen micarta and natural canvas micarta. The pins are carbon fiber and natural linen micarta, and the bullseye liner is black carbon fiber. The bolsters overlap the scales at 18 degrees. On this one, by request of Mistwalker, I left some of the tang exposed at the rear for rough work.

This is the Fiddleback Fighter. A few months ago, Woodman on Ramanon sent me a set of scales. They're easily the prettiest piece of maple I've ever seen. I designed this knife to go with those scales. The knife thats getting them is going to be ground by Scott Davidson, probably really nice thick stainless steel and hollow grinds. Dylan helped me a bit with the handle length. Its a wicked fighter with a very stabbey point. This one is done in spalted 1/8" 1075 stee. The OAL is 11.25" and the blade is 6" long. It has a convex saberground main edge and a false edge thats just a convex grind also. I can forsee a bunch of these done in Scandi grind with a double edge. That will be a scary knife. This one is Osage orange thats been dyed black and sanded out again. Its got TEN 1/8" carbon fiber pins and a matching carbon fiber bullseye filler. The liner is also black. The spalting on this one is really gorgeous!

This is a model that really excites me. Just my style. Little cutters.

The knife is called the Hikingbuddy. Its 7.5" OAL, and has a 3.125" long blade. I did two in this batch out of 1/8" thick 01 steel (which I spalted, of course). One of them is convex with a thicker handle of curly quartersawn Red Oak with micarta bolsters, and one is Scandi and has a thinner Ironwood handle with black liner, pins a bullseye filler.

This is the Palmer. Its based on the Runt, but a beefier version. This one is cut from 5/32" thick (spalted) 01 steel. Its got a convex sabergrind and green g-10 scales with flack accessories. The knife is 6.5" long and has a 3" blade.

I don't even know where to start! These are fantastic! The Spalted Steel adds so much character, and I love the contrast of the pins - that is a really nice effect.



If the Scandi Hikingbuddy isn't for an order, then I would like to get it for my Dad. That's got him written all over it! It seems like a small Arete - just beautiful!

That one is yours then my friend. But I have to take it to the GA Guild meeting in two weekends. I'm doing a demo on Scandi's and want to show the difference between the cutting ability on exactly the same design.

No problem! I'll be ready whenever you are!
 
Andy,
I sent you an email for a couple of them...

...those hiking buddies are pretty cool, I might have to get one, too!
