One of the last of a retired breed "The Apogee"

[Stumpy]

This one came today and man it's a beauty.
It's the full size version with some nugget
work and a blade in D2 mod.Darrel is a true artist and a pleasure to deal with.The execution on this knife is flawless.

Now THAT'S beautiful! You must be proud. You're right, from what I can see, it looks like some mighty fine embellishments going on in there. Congrats to you and Darrell!

What input did you have in this design? It's really great!

Stumpy you are a lucky guy

That's areal beauty, but what else can you expect from DDR?

We may just have to get together one of these days so I can get a better look at it.

 

[Stumpy]

Coop,
I had very little input.I only asked for the ano,nugget work and blade steel.I left the rest up to the man.He's a class act.
Keith,
You bring along that prong horn and we'll see.
Thanks gents

Very nice, Stumpy! That Apogee is beautiful. DDR certainly knows how to build them right.

Nice scores, guys! 92degrees - I like yours - looks like you got the nuggetting w/out the gold part, right? Very nice, and the non-clip side seems like its asking for some engraving or something in the center part!

 

[92degrees]

The nuggeting is actually purple tones. Very subtle. When I first saw the picture I was concerned that the center looked empty, but it doesn't seem that way in hand. I considered a mammoth overlay...

It was nice to see the return of the Extreme pattern on Stumpy's.
