These are the knives that we finally got finished and are ready to sell. They are high performers and made for serious hunters. It took months of blood sweat and tears but we made about 20 each of the 3 models. They will go on my web site soon but this forum is the first time they are available on-line. I hope you like them. Thanks for looking.

Guys, let me give the shameless sales pitch.

The 3 models I have listed "Caper, Hunter and Skinner" have the best of everything and are the best all around hunting knives I can make. The final design is my own with many changes and refinements from years of feedback from several professional hunters and guides from here to Alaska.

The steel is .140" thick from Crucible Service Center, CPM 154 CM, waterjet cut from "Double R Machine" and is heat treated by Paul Bos in Post Falls Idaho. Paul has over 40 years in this business. Ive never been disapointed by his work in the 20 years Ive used his services.

The handles are G-10 from Alpha Supply. Chuck Bybee only stocks and sells the most select and quality materials. The corby handle bolts are custom made to my specs here in Walla Walla. Alpha now stocks and sells the remainder of them if you need some call him.

The grind is off of a 14" hollow grinding wheel and is taken down to 600 grit and finished off by hand with a 400 grit satin finish. There are no grinder marks on these blades.

The sheaths are a unique design with the belt loop integrated in. There are a total of 5 layers with one of them that covers the snap and protects the finish on the handle. The back of the sheath is completely flat. The only wet formed part is the front panel. The stitching is done on a Tippman machine and reinforced with saddlemakers copper rivets. They are dyed black and are easy to keep new with Kiwi polish.

The prices are actually at the minimum for me. These are the "best bang for the buck". I am a full time maker and the expenses are going up each year as you must realize. My prices on "field grade" knives havent changed in 10 years.

Let me know if we need to set up a payment plan. Im also open to handle changes but may need to adjust the price accordingly.

I will maintain and sharpen the knife for at least as long as I'm able. Postage is required

Thanks for the interest in my work.

I added some new info and another picture of all three models in the first post.
Thanks for the orders so far.
 
Nice looking series Bruce. I especially like the skinner style blade.

I just received my Tippman Boss stitcher last week. That machine is one tough puppy which allows you to make those multi layer sheaths like the ones you have with ease.

Any way, a great package.

It took some getting use to at first but now I cant imagine a knife shop without one. Be careful going from thin layers uphill into the thick layers though, it wants to take smaller steps and closer stitches. I really like the way you can place the needle exactly where you want it.

Mark, sorry to chat on this forum. Its my first time ever selling on the forum. I see there are rules against it.
 
BTTT.
Sales have been fine, Thanks guys!

It seems that Hunter Orange is the color to buy, its a good thing I ordered more orange G-10.

I still have plenty of knives to move so please email me.

I think the dark green handled knives will need to be discounted $25 each.
Here the best I can do: for green handles only: Caper $175 Hunter $225 Skinner $250

That skinner looks awesome and I really like the Orange G-10 makes finding it amongst the leaves and gutpile easier...even in the fall foliage. I like your designs and good looking sheaths.
 
I still need to sell a couple more of this series. Remember I knocked off $25 on the green handled ones but the Orange is "hot" and worth the retail price. Black has always been a classic color and stands alone.
