That looks like a great, easy to carry, usable knife...I've officially been tempted. I like the hint of drop point, that's a great B&T shape. Will this pattern be going into the rotation?

That looks like a great design, perfect shape for a slim B&T! Will this pattern be going into the rotation?

It`s one I plan on making, just have not got around to it yet.

Tall Papa: Ask John about the SQUIRREL, it's his favorite knife to grind.

But only you have one to take a picture of!

Another alternative is to design your own. I enjoy making customer designs.

I'm intrigued by the SQUIRREL! And the thought of designing my own knife, though I'm pretty sure a professional would do a much better job. All I know so far is I want a small outdoorsy knife with tan handles and red liners...that's a start I suppose!

Squirrel is very camera shy, perhaps I have one archived.

Welcome tall_papa.

Check out this beauty...

A stretched Worker in 154CM w/tan micarta and red liners.

This one is stretched to 8.5" with a 4.5" blade, but John can make it in whatever size suites your needs.

Here is a nice review by dr_fosg8 of his standard size Worker.

The Squirrel is pictured in the pictures sticky on page 62, post #1230.
If anyone could make those pics over to this thread, I would be most obliged.
New guy Tall_Papa wanted to see it

Keep in mind, those are not my handles on it, those were done by KYenglish.

tall_papa · Dec 22, 2016

Well I'm not sure what I expected with a name like Squirrel, but somehow that name does fit nicely. I'm afraid my mind was made when mykel m posted his Worker pictures though, this just went from "wishlist" to "waiting list". Thanks for all the suggestions and help!

B JACKSON · Dec 23, 2016

Thanks for the boost BTW!
Tall_Papa... you going to luv your new JK!
Yes, Squirrel was a collaboration knife and also was 3rd runner up in the design contest of 2015
3rd runner up ..........I had it made as kind of a PARTICIPATION TROPHY.

3rd runner up ain't that bad when you look at the field of competition. Remember the winner was a true work of collaborative art. For those who have forgotten (possibly by choice) and for those new folks, I present the "Thing."

B JACKSON · Dec 23, 2016

I love THING! It truly is a champion award winning design, due to it's unique lines and functional DNA.

YoungCurmudgeon · Dec 23, 2016

I love this little knife. The design is "unique" (I was trying to draw something that didn't look like anything else in the hope of getting picked), but the blade shape is handy. It allows for a very positive placement of the index finger along the spine to "guide" cuts. Being made of 1/8" stock it's hella strong and the one-of-a-kind scales Peter put on it are the icing on the cake.
