Proto Obenauf & the Obenauf Family

[cpirtle]

I ordered a modified version of Mike's Model 2, he liked it so much he decided to make this an addition to his line and marked it PROTO for me.

I asked for a 2.75" version of the Model 2, I call it the "Small Small Model 2". I also asked him to either use a colored backspacer or a titanium one and he went with titanium, not sure if future ones will have this or not.

Either way this makes a wicked little EDC for around my office.

Nice collection you got there, I like the Model 3.

But I really like the large Model 2, and you are going to hate me when I get mine, Chad

I can't decide which I like better my large model 1 or large model 2.

Wow. Great looking knives. I've got one of Mike's small #1's and have one of the Obenauf/Pirela folders on order.

Too nice. My Small Model 2 arrived today and it looks like it might need a little brother. Great group of knives!

Very nice, I like sub 3" folders, and this one looks like a great addition to the the Obenauf lineup!

Chad,
I had the chance to handle Jacks Mini Obenauf yesterday. A GREAT little knife, VERY well made and SMOOTH!! Now I see why they're so popular!!

Thanks for all of the comments guys!

Neil, glad you got to handle one of Mike's knives, I'm looking forward to seeing what you put together for Jack and his family too

Firebat, don't even start a Chadwick trend...

Stjames, So you're the one who got the first of the "new model" huh? I got my order in time to hear "#1 is sold but #2 is yours" Hopefully we'll see them soon!
