Hi folks -
After attending Stomper's Gathering this past May, and getting to fondle jds1's new Riverwoods Companion design, I decided to order one for my wife.
This would accomplish two things; it would involve my lovely wife in my hobby, and I would get to have a RWC in my own kitchen (I know, I am a devil).
Stomper deliverd a BEAUTIFUL knife, exceeding all expectations once again.
Following are pictures of the knife that we have taken since we got it this week.
Stomper out-did himself on the handle scales - they are wonderful! This knife wants to live in a human hand, and it tells you so!
I have become fond of the colored liners I have seen other people order, and so I ordered them for the first time. I think they really accent the burl and add a little splash to the knife.
Stomper's usual perfection in grind, fit and finish.
The blade is just a tick over 3"
and the handle is a little over 4" - perfect!
It weighs in at 3.7 oz alone (5.4 oz with sheath)
And it is .134" thick
The edge came shaving sharp and perfectly ground - I did not even touch this one up before I gave it to the wife - Thanks Stomper!
finally - a picture of the beautiful little sheath that Stomper crafted for this knife. Just wow.
I'll add to this thread as we go - we have already used the RWC for a few kitchen tasks, and we are loving it.
Thanks to jds1 for a great idea for a design, and to Stomper for the impeccable execution of the idea!
best regards -
