Time to repost this do it all camper/skinner and see what happens. The high and tight hollowgrind as I described in the post two weeks ago when I bought super Knifemaker Emeritus Jack O'Neill's wonderful wood collection upon his retirement, he also sent several knives profiled and heat treated by Jack himself for me to grind. This is the second one I did. It should be a bad boy skinner with that honking belly, I believe. Jack sent big boxes of supplies and materials from a swiss jimping file to reams of sandpaper. When I asked if his PayPal access was the same as always after his move so I could pay for shipping all that treasure, he indicated that they were gifts, and I did not need it. That's Jack. The numerous "Send it to Grady" boxes as his wife named them, are among the kindest acts in my life, ever. Naturally, when I was finishing this one, my second hollowgrind, I fumbled it resulting in a dent in the edge of the spine. I hesitated to post it, but the error is purely cosmetic and I will drop the already low price. It should be a fine knife for the right person. The knife is warranted for life and the price includes priority USPS domestic shipping as well. Questions and comments are welcomed at goslaughter@outlook.com. This also accesses my PayPal account. Other payment options are fine; just get in touch and we'll get something done! Sorry for the long read, but I wanted y'all to know.

Glad y'all think it is a fine deal. I do too. This hollowgrind came out really well and it feels super in hand. Recently departed well-loved maker D.W. 'Duck' Childress told me "Everyone deserves to be able to have a good custom knife if they want it, not just the wealthy." He made beautiful knives and always kept his prices low for that reason. Duck's daughter Kathy has lovely stories of seeing her dad gift fine knife/sheath rigs to folks at knife shows who were obviously charmed by a knife of his doing they could not readily afford. A most admirable man.
Besides, there is that dadgum dent!

Wow! I never thought of that. Fantastic. You know what though, jfk1110, I'm just going with it. Someone needs it just the way it is. Ironically, I find this knife to be pretty exceptional in a lot of very good ways; for example, the hollowgrind on that big bellied curve was an education for me all by itself and proved to be a win for BROKEN BRANCH in the end. Symmetrically ground high and tight fading into a slight thickening at the tip was the goal, and mission accomplished! Also, the A2 steel took a lovely satiny finish from a 45 micron trizact belt. Someone besides me will love it for sure. Your suggestion does smack of a certain logical brilliance, dude! 🤔🤯😃 Thanks, compadre, I am always glad to see your comments on the threads keeping things fun and super encouraging for me too. Best of the season to you, jfk1110, and to all y'all who leave the kind words or poke the 'like/love' buttons that keep me smiling in my Broken Branch shop. I love each and every one of you.
I knew I should have gone with the OD green canvas scales....I knew it.
 
Jagged77, I am delighted at the prospect of getting this knife to you. I have shipped to England before; I remember a very smooth transaction and will do all I can to facilitate such again. Please email me your shipping address at goslaughter@outlook.com as soon as practical. I can check with Andre the Clifton postmaster at that point and then email back to you the total cost. I will mark the knife 'SOLD PENDING FUNDS' now, and we can then get on with shipping to your door. PayPal is easiest for me but other options are available. PayPal g&s is accessed using goslaughter@outlook.com as well as email. Let me know if this sounds reasonable to you. Thank you so much. I am excited at the prospect of the knife's use as a tool it is meant for. Very cool!😎
