Nice lookin user. Looks as though it would be a very comfortable EDC. Had you posted this yesterday, I would have snagged it up. I already have two new ones on order and purchased one last night. I'll have to wait a few weeks before I'll be able to sneak another new one in the house.

You did it! :D

Somebody better grab this up fast before I do. According to Fish & Game, a huge flock of Northern Rough Tailed Wonkie's are headed our way this summer and there's no bag limit!

I hear that they're good eating but really tough to skin unless you have a Wonky knife. You could probably skin out a big male in seconds with this knife! Nice going Joe!
 
Joe blade looks great, micarta looks grippy, and the sheath looks great, but the 6th picture down in the middle top area there is a little wonky on ur thumb. :D

You'll be seeing wonky knives everywhere soon; stick with a Hoover original. You'll thank yourself after the hunt.
 
Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words and humor. Larry I believe I finally got that wonky off my thumb. Wayne I hear ya man.
Hansli I might use that phrase as my tag line if you don't mind, thanks for the compliment.
Murph, you know you can sneek one more past her.
 
I would try to sneak another one in, but like I said....I have 2 on order and just purchased one. I have my wife convinced the ones on order are my birthday present for myself and one is a duplicate my buddy is buying. The one I just purchased, she doesn't know about yet. She has asked me what "she" can get me for my birthday and I've convinced her I need a KMG grinder.

I don't want to mess up and not get that grinder. If I do, I'll have to continue buying knives from you guys as opposed to picking your brains about how to make my own.
