I'll switch off every week or so. I hardly ever carry my case classics anymore. the first is Joe Boony's sway, the second one is Todd Davison's sway, and the third is KC Customs Sway. I sway a lot as you can see.

That is really nice, Elliott! What is the closed length?

Excellent work, Ken! Please put me down on your waitlist for a Cattle Knife.

Thanks, seadweller. :thumbup:

When Ken and I got together on this project I requested that the knife come in at 3.75" closed which is just about perfect imho. It weighs in at 3 3/8 oz.
I also asked Ken to put a small clip blade in place of a spay or punch blade as I find the three distinct blade profiles most useful for my purposes.

(P.S. You should email or PM Ken directly regarding orders or information about getting on his list. :cool:)
 
Ken, I think you did a more than excellent job on Blues' Cattle knife, I just am overwhelmed how beautiful that knife is-obviously a good partnership of communication to come up with such a stunning knife. :thumbup:

That is still one of my fav knives by Ken, its really an amazing knife! every aspect of it screams out from the bone to the liners. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
Yeah, I think Ken captured the spirit of the cattle knife with that one. Beautiful bone, too.

Rustyknife, that's an interesting knife. Can you tell us more about it?
 
A friend recently set me up with my very first tradtional folders.
Today I carry a Hen and Rooster two-blade (spey and California clip) with swirly-colored blue Corelon handles.

It's an awesome knife and brought the fun and ease of carrying a slipjoint back to my attention.

Thanks for providing the specs, Elliott. It's really helpful and I like that configuration alot too! I PM'ed Ken about it and await his reply .. I'm certain his wait list is pretty long. I'd be more than happy to make you an offer on it if you need to fund for another custom. ;)
