Thanks for looking!
 
That baby is all mine, I love it. Cant wait to put it to work in the Sierra's in two weeks. Be very scared trout, be very scared lol:D
 
The blade design and the osage is just great to my liking :thumbup:

IM2CO .. I guess Phillip may continously make use Osage as handles of his knives and it will become sort of his another trade mark other than the design, the numbering and his name marking :thumbup:

How nice if I am the forumite mentioned by Phillip ;)
 
Thanks, everyone!

Loveless screws! Did you forge this one, or stock removal?

Forged from 1-1/4" round stock. I actually use a combination of forging and stock removal, where I forge it down to the thickness I want, and forge in the tang and blade taper, then grind it the rest of the way. For partial tang knives, I forge much closer to shape.

I don't really like the wood, but I like that knife.

Yeah, osage isn't for everybody. For myself, I prefer the darker shades of it.
But it will get darker over time. :thumbup:
 
Featherstone, I have one like it (micata not osage) and I promise it will work!:thumbup: :thumbup:
