I hope I'm not asking a question everyone knows the answer to here, but I've been away a while. Is it still possible to make a wooden model and have the Kamis make it up? I realize it coudln't be anything that's been done already. I was just curious. I have one design in particular. Its a classic that I don't see done right very often, the Rio Grande Camp Knife. Most of the models I see look kind of clunky. That's the particluar problem with making this knife. I haven't seen a factory model that make it thick enough and with a distal taper. If this is cool, I'll make the model and you'll have it within a week or two, but if not, I entirely undertsand.

Uncle Bill will have the final say on this but you might want to search out some of these terms, HIS(s)SB, HISSSB, Cherokee Rose.
There's a couple of pix of the wooden model I made for a H.I.Scagel Style Southwestern Bowie that may already fit your bill.
I would say if not then go for it. I would be interested in seeing what you have in mind.
I 1st talked about the Bowie model about a year ago and it took me a long time to get it done like I wanted it.
A simple scetch is what I started with to see if all the guys liked the idea.
Bob Kenny made up a Bolo of which only a few were done and Uncle Bill may even consider one of a model if your heart is really set on it.:)
