Not really a bird and trout, too thick for a filet at .1", what to call it? I settled on Camp N Kitchen 'cause I think it would be good for just about any food prep, freshly harvested or in the camp kitchen, or even at home.

This a replica of the first knife Bo Randall made back in 1937, which is onto of Sheldon and Edna Wickersham's book, Randall Knives A Reference Book, which features a a photo of the original first knife Bo Randall made.

This is a dropped point hunter with a 4 inch blade and a Randall Model # 27 handle pattern. This knife has some fantastic red stag for a handle. It has a hand tooled sheath basket weave tooling with an oak leaf cluster.

That handle looks extremely comfortable.

Been a bit since I’ve been on but here is the last couple I’ve been able to do.

6.75” santoku with dymalux scales. 80crv2. Delivered it yesterday and today the guys friend contacted me for a gyuto and a fillet knife. Working out the details this weekend.


And a 5.75” utility knife with some absolute gorgeous maple from Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith with black g10, red liner and a mosaic pin. Been working on forging as much to shape and bevels. Makes for a longer process each one instead of stock removal but really enjoy the process.

Thank you! It sits quite well in the hand

So, I profiled, HT, and tapered the tangs on 2 long EDC knives. I thought a finger choil would be cool. But after I ground the bevels on the first one I discovered ...

IT'S BUTT UGLY :




So what do I do? Throw them both away before I go someone sees? I decided to make a recurve out of the second one to get rid of the choil.

I think it worked:



It's amazing what difference a small tweak can do.

That’s a pretty big tweak in my book, but it made a proportionate difference in the appearance, style, & attitude of that knife. I really like it!
