I will be starting a Passaround thread of my SPK (Sportsman's Phalange Knife) in the next week. The knife is not finished so I thought it would be nice to do a WIP of the knife so that people following or participating in the passaround can see exactly what they have in their hands.
I will post the link here when I start the Thread:
Back Story:
My grandfather William Weeks was a cattle rancher (the W in my logo was his brand), butcher, construction foreman, oil man, owned and operated Bills Bar and Café. He was an amateur boxer, which often came in handy when things got heated at the bar . on, and On, and ON!
He butchered his own cattle, hunted deer and elk his entire life, the freezer was always full. The knife he used and claimed as the best working blade ever made was the Schrade Sharpfinger 152OT. I was lucky enough to acquire his knives at the time of his passing. Below is his knife, the tip is broken and edge is completely gone. It will stay this way!
I was recently approached by a group of bow hunters known as 365 Pursuit for a custom knife that will be their go to in the field . My mind immediately thought of Grandpa Willie! I started researching and came across what I feel is a top authority of the Sharpfinger 152 Codger_64 and this thread:
