The Dark Side...

Wow, it's like I'm making a kit knife. Cool. Gary, you're little leather lanyard is way cooler than my para-cord thingy, and Lorien, cool little rope handle.

Now it's not "how many variations do I make" it's "how many variations can you come up with?"

Kind of looks like a Caterpillar ;), but bet it's a handy little knife though.

I received my 1095 version and have cleaned 13 squirrels and dressed my nephews 2nd deer. Still shaves hair. I could'nt be happier.

It's all very nice to put on a handle to make it a user, but until you clean more than 13 squirrels, it's all just show! :)
 
you have a point there, Ben:cool:
 
That's a goal worthy of my afternoon. I'm taking the .22 to the shop and maybe I'll get a few while the steel's in the forge. Maybe Mike could post some kind of recipe for squirrel that makes it taste like something other than rat, which I kinda think it might be.

Fox squirrel, quarter them up dredge thru a mixture of flour, garlic salt and a BBQ rub. Put in the slow cooker for 8 hours and they come out perfect. Gray squirrel, same dredge mix put in a cast iron skillet on low heat with artery clogging butter and whoa mama, you have a meal. BTW my 1095 Darkside is at 22 squirrels and it's second deer. The edge started to drag and I stropped it and now it is back to shaving. This little knife cuts bigger than it is!!!
 
Wow, Burt - 6800 views for a stock removal thread. Maybe you walked the wrong path?:D:D

Burt, tree rats are the best tasting rats :thumbup::cool:

Mike knows how to fix em. Whoa mama!
 
Lorien, why didn't you wrap the handle like you had me do? :(

I love the knife, as a bladesmith I really appreciate the work that goes into forging a one piece blade like this and keeping everything straight without the "tweaking" from a grinder.

Brute de forge blades are a semi-traditional way for smiths to show off their skills or lack of.
