Nick my hearts thumping :)

I love you and the knife :)

But did you say I'm kinda a fool for spinning knives like this in my hand :)

Only kidding

Just awesome my friend

Thank you Nick and thank you all for being part of our projects and for everyone's support

Paul Long you are up

Jim Coop than its your turn :)

We are doing this in a black full front Shark skin sheath with an oversized flat black Stud

Jim please include the sheath in the photo I want to immortalize the work of my fine friends and I believe a knife is only as good as its sheath :)

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, and perfect (IMHO). Thank you Nick. Thank you Joe. Mike
 
Holy sh.. ! That's a terrific piece Nick ! I just love it !
Congrats on this project, guys.
 
Looks great, cannot wait to see the cutting demos Joe! One day I hope to be able to own a bowie of this caliber. Absolutely astounding work Mr. Wheeler.
 
I am pretty excited about this. One of these will be my first paid for custom. I have received some great knives in Kiths, but this one was the first I selected and bought! This is perfect as Nick's WIP on Lorien's camp knife was what inspired me to start making knives.
 
Willie that is awesome and I am very pleased that this project attracted your attention

Thank you for being part of it
 
Thank you guys!!!


I'm glad you guys are feeling this too... I'm so stoked about it! :)


Joe, Mike, Dudley..... You guys are an integral part of me doing what I do, which means you help make my life what it is. I cannot stress enough how important you guys are to me.


*quick note* Apparently my Washington state/northwestern/Yankee accent got in my way in the first video. Someone asked me on youtube, what I meant by, "Paul Long rural class leather work" ?!?!? :confused:

LMFAO :D What I said (or at least tried to!:foot: LOL) was, "Paul Long, WORLD CLASS, leather work!!! :)


Warren/Willie :D I was tickled when I found out you got into knife making in part because of my build-along with Lorien... I'm seriously honored that you have gotten in on this project- Thank you! :cool: :)



Will thanks my friend!!! I'm right around 205# now. That's down 28# of fat since December. :)


Oh wait!!! That's not what you meant??? :confused: :foot: ;) :D HaHaHaHa :)


Here 'ya go.... :)

Got lot'sa love for you too buddy!

People see Joe Paranee flipping a knife around and think, "Damn, that's a bad ass dude, and you can just tell he knows how to handle himself and a blade."

They'd see me doing it and think, "What the hell is that d-bag Wheeler doing, he's going to kill himself!!!" :eek: :thumbdn:

LMFAO :D
 
Nice--looks like about (corrected) 19.8 oz. Impressive for that much length, width and .35" @ the spine. :thumbup:

Really impressed with your weight loss, also--looking ripped--what's your secret?

hey, that's rad!!!

ps. I'm sure your ole lady told ya this already, Joe, but that fu manchu...well, I hope it was a Movember grow :D
 
Hey Nick

here's a suggestion for your rambling "public speaking"......a teleprompter :p LOL

On the other hand, your craftsmanship needs no help at all - the knife is a smokin' design and beautifully rendered !

Looking forward to the final product and Coop's photos...

Further congrats on the success of your workout plan thus far :thumbup::thumbup:

Nick have to say I am super excited. I love all the videos and hope you continue to make them and amaze all of us.
