Whoa, you lucky dog Skab. Nice!!! I really like that one.


Great job Iz. I really wish I had the scratch for that Z.

Ever notice that you never see any of Iz's stuff come up for sale used! Man I cant wait till my GR gets done. What's extra on this batch Iz? You need to go full time bro, really crank some knives out then. 8 a week sounds nice to me.

I have seen a few used ones come up for sale, but by used I should say someone bought them and never used them and needed cash so they sold them. There is on for sale right now over on BCUSA, hell of a deal to!

The z-sere with the carmel linen was extra but it's gone now. Sold in thirteen minutes! That's a new record for me.
I went full time in June, it's been great so far and I hope and pray it continues because I really like working for myself. Lord willing I'll be able to for a long, long time.
Even at full time though I can't do 8 a week. I guess I could if I didn't have sheaths to do. My record so far is seven knives in four days but that's not including sheaths.
Thanks for the kind words, man.:thumbup:

I thought I seen somewhere where you were still working for the city or county or something like that. Probably an old thread. Hey man that is great. But never sacrifice quality for quanity man that is a dead end road. Keep doing what you are doing seems to be working for you. And get some heat in the shop no need to work in misery man get a lot more done in comfort. I just figure you dont have heat as I have seen pics of you in a jacket in the shop.
Wishing you a prosporous New Year bro.

Well my sweet blade FINALLY got here!

In hand as requested!

Just to show how much of a beast it is, next to my Becker Companion

But it can still make some tiny curls!

Fit and finish is top knotch!

There will be more pictures of me USING my Turley, and you can count on a video review after I have had time to break it in right.

Dogwood 5/32" thick with dark brown spacers and natural/brown canvas scales.
This knife surprised me. I pretty much fell in love with it not because of anything I did but because of the customer's choices on it. 5/32" with the full height grind makes it a light and crazy cutter and I really like the subtle difference between the spacers and the sales.

Finally got my knife. The recent snow ice storms in Ga held my knife up a full week. Man it made the wait suck. But man this thing is bad to the bone. The 5/32 full height grind plus it was sharpened to zero makes this one a lazer. This was my first Turley shurely not my last though. I am really impressed. Handle is super comfortable. Need to get it out and dirty now.

Glad it finally got there, C.
I still love that knife.:thumbup:
