Rotte,

Are you happy with it? I think I am too! I am glad to see your stamp of approval - I wanted this for both of us!

Andy did a smokin' job as usual.


Andy - check your PM's bro...

Mi Amigo,

I'm stoked. This looks really good. Classic bushcraft lines, with Andy's impeccable execution. Handle looks like the real thing--love the placement of the palm swell. I like the point placement too. This is going to be a great blade. I hope it ends up in Andy's regular line-up.

And I hope he doesn't do one with a full convex edge--don't think I could afford two! :D
 
I like it, Tal - looks comfy! Can't wait to see what kinda leather you make for it! :)
 
that came out great Andy...:thumbup: nice work man... i love the looks of the handle..

that is a nice looking design too.. nice job TF..
 
That looks AWESOME!

Sign me up for one!

Um. You're already paid for two IIRC. LOL.

There will definitely be convex available. So haha. :D

Nice work. That's hickory over micarta? Looks great.

Osage over natural canvas micarta. Really a sweet combo!

Now thats what I'm talking about!

osage i think, dont take my word for it just going by looks

Good eye!
 
Its a standard sized Bushcraft knife and will run same as the Ladyfinger, Bushie, Terassaur, and KPH. $180 base price. That includes most handle woods, and standard phenolics. The knife pictured is a base price knife.
 
wow, talfuchre have you been reading my dreams?

LOVE the handle lines....maybe next paycheck....also maybe if i can unload some unused steel.
