My best friend/knife collecting buddy and I ordered a set of twin knives from Phillip Patton based on the drop point utility a couple of months ago. Phillip is a true craftsman; great design and superb finish.
Our idea was to have a custom knife made with which we could do the things we need when we're hiking and bushcrafting. It had to be a usable blade for in the woods as well as having a big WOW!-factor. Phillip accepted our order and made us these two custom knives.
This is my half of the set I took to the woods last weekend in Soesterberg, the Netherlands.
After batoning through a small pinetree making firewood and using it for various camptasks the knife was still shaving sharp!
David Brown made a kydex sheath for both knives; same quality as the blades!
Phillip, thanks for the knives!
I'll post more pics of the knife and sheath later, enjoy.

- Overall: ± 11 inch
- Blade: 6 inch including the finger choil
- Handle: black canvas micarta, ± 5 inch
- Steel: W2
- Extra's: mosaic pin, red liners, the handle is very beautifully contoured, pay attention to the first pin near the blade; it's contoured along with the micarta handle. Phillip even stamped the spine of the blade with a few words which originated from our youth.
