Rick Menefee Knives...

JC in SC · Aug 6, 2011

I'm definitely looking forward to some Menefee WIP pictures, especially of a Norfolk. Seeing those double end, single spring knives in process is awesome.

I am working somebody northfolk. Also a dandy two blade dogleg. I am thinking about cutting out a auto mazzie doesnt think i can do it and make it look like a trad knife.

I know you'll get to it when you can. Hell, I wouldn't have worked either with the heat you've had.

I like that little hatchet. Why don't you have me one by October for my elk hunt.

That is a great hatchet!

I'm sure this knife has been posted before, but since it is now mine, I thought a new picture was in order.

It appears to be of older vintage than my Menefee Made Zulu, but has the same great action and wicked edge.

It also appears to have lived a sheltered life thus far, so straight into the pocket it went

Thanks Vince and Jason. I'm looking forward to putting this one to work.

Those Norfolk WIP pics are awesome. There are a lot of other interesting things on Rick's bench as well.

I could not do it. Somehow there is some kind of practicality thing with me. Ivory micarta,yes.The real deal,well,I love it,but can't use it,only admire it

Tell me about it. In retrospect, it was a fairly hypocritical comment for me I guess, as I have one kind of like it for sale that I can't bear to use. Ivory is just too darn beautiful...
