Really nice looking knife, I like that a lot.

Nice fire prep too, got all your ducks in a row there

Very nice knife! What are the specs on it if you don't mind?

I have a similar Guppy and it's my favorite knife in that size range (5" blade).

You do great work Rick.

He sure does! I'm sure Rick's knives cut with the best of them, but his sense of aesthetics truly sets him apart. :thumbup:

I've known lots of artists over the years. The good ones all live in messy houses. It's all about getting your priorities right.

I wanted to take it on the last 2 trips out , but I am afraid that the knife will be lost,stolen, misplaced, rerouted, forgotten by the airlines and or the TSA!!!
I would be very pissed to have that happen to this knife!!!!

 

[myright]

Damn, that is a great looking blade. I love that Bushchipper he makes. The finish on the blade is amazing.

Ship it to me a couple days before you leave and Ill ship it back when you leave. That goes for whatever gear you want to bring but dont want those TSA bastards to get their paws on. :thumbup::thumbup:
