It is a wide blade!
It looks to me a little like a khukuri, only the recurved area is full of sharpened steel. I'll be glad to have that blade protecting my hand while I'm hacking through Scotch Broom, gorse, salmon berry and raspberry bushes. I will chop wood with it just for fun. But I don't expect it to outperform my chainsaw in that regard:cool:

I must say though, that Matt is a real bastard!:p

Every time he calls, he just about gets me with his immediate question of 'do I carry Schwinn bikes', or 'can you fix my Huffy'. Oy vey!

But he totally got me yesterday, when I answered that phone, and a southern accent at the other end asked if I do 'telephone price matching'. After a brief pause on my part, and a short count to ten, I said no, to which the drawling reply stated flatly, "Walmart will do it".

Another, really long pause.

"It's Matt. Sorry, but I just really enjoy teasing you for some reason. I just wanted to let you know that I'm shipping your knife on Monday."

Spending $600 on a knife is not something I have ever done, or expect to do regularly, but I can tell you this- there is NO other maker out there, who I'd rather have pop my cherry than Matt Lamey. If there is ever an opportunity to deal with him in the future, I will gladly take it. He is a cool guy, and has my vote as one of the top knifemakers out there. And not just because of the knives he makes.

Here's to Matt for keeping it real. And for reading my mind to come up with this knife for me. From the pictures at least, it looks to be the perfect knife for what I have in mind:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
My next, scheduled, arrival is a large Sebenza 21 with micarta inlays. It's going to be my EDC and will be quite an upgrade from the Spyderco I'm carrying now.

Cool. Matt's knives are always worth the price and definitely REQUIRE their own threads!!!
 
I mentioned a few nice knives due in this summer.
Here's the first - it's not yet in hand but I got a teaser yesterday by email.
DB Fraley is as good as they come!
Thanks DB!
He couldn't have been more patient with me in working through this order.

that's pretty incredible, Kevin. What a pro that Hancock is.
 
Hmmmm, don't have one like it planned for Tim's book - yet...... :)

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)
 
Thanks guys for the comments.

I have a Bowie order coming up with Tim. :thumbup:
The handle shape on this hunter is similar in shape to Tim's "Cowboy Bowie". So he's going to make me one to match this hunter. He has enough ivory left to do another handle, he will use a double guard and the same ladder pattern damascus and of course the same rear inert.
They will even have matching leather and silver Mexican skirt sheaths.
Can't wait.

Chuck Gedraitis and I, will be designing a nested liner-lock folder with Micarta and 440-C, I think. :)
