Today's Thursday Bushfinger is my personal one. I've been carrying the Kephart, and the show sucked a bit of resources from me too, so this one is going onto the chopping block. The knife has white linen scales over natural canvas liners. The steel is 1/8" thick 3D Spalted 01 with a high convex grind. The knife is getting the use marks removed today and will be sold as new. $250 shipped. I don't have sheaths for it in stock, but Rick Lowe, and Heber Ellsworth both make great patterns for these.

Oh mama, that knife is a dream come true. Your white lines handles are just awesome...and at 1/8"! That's got to be a super handy knife. Hows the weight feel compared to the 5/32" Andy?
 
Yikes! No one has grabbed this yet? Oh, if I only weren't waiting for my Ladyfinger.
Though, I don't know Andy. I'll see if someone else would like to snatch it up here shortly.

Its lighter. I don't see a big difference in cutting performance personally. But it is lighter.
 
That's a great looking knife Andy. If the white handle thing were my jam, I'd grab this up in a second. Whoever get's it will, I'm sure, love it.
 
love it - and I don't have a BushFinger (yet).... Must wait until the Friday batch gets posted though...
 
BTT. This knife is still available.
 
Andy I think this is the same knife I bought from you in a Friday batch a couple weeks back?


If so I'm loving it! Just carried it on an all day hike while hunting ruff grouse and it's noticeably lighter than my 5/32" S35VN Bushfinger.

Man, I'm glad you're liking it, and the pics are stunning. Wish I was there.
 
Dang, you've got a 1/8" O1 Bushfinger AND a 5/35" S35VN Bushfinger! I'm definitely envious now.
 
Man, I hear ya. I've been down that road often. Upland game are scarce around here. Most of the land around here is farm fields and privately owned. Timber is far and few between.

What little public ground is available is over hunted. That's what moved me to switch to bigger game. We average over 1.3 vehicle accidents a day from deer in our county, and it's in the low end of the state. Then add the crop damage from overpopulated herds,..... Well, you get the idea.


I'm anxious to use my Bushfinger this season. I know it will make an outstanding field dress knife.
