Is that 3rd one down a Fat Badger?

What blank or knife are you grinding the Fat Badger from?

 

[David Mary]

Greetings Cwilliams563 ! That is a drop point custom for a gentleman, using the EDC Universal 1 blank. Thanks for asking!

My goodness! That's just what I needed! Having a rough day, stuck at work, and thinking about that beautiful knife, and there it's posted! It brings a smile to my weary face!

Those are going to be some brilliant and bright colored handles once they get finished up
