Got another knife done today..

[panch0]

Man I wish this was profitable so I could do it for a living. Being in my shop sure beats sitting in an office any day. Even if it is cold and five below 110 degrees. :tongue_smilie: Got this guy done. A buddy gave me some spaulted maple and man I think its pretty.

Man That is AWESOME!!!as if he didn't know a knife fool would jump at a post about a knife It Really looks good,and I don't want to hear about "percieved" flaws either. Just soak up my admiration for your TALENT!!! Maybe you and Crash should go into business?

[Rick]

That is one great camp knife. The wood looks like flames jumping. That is one of the best yet. I really...REALLY....like it.

[pocomoonskyeyes]

Hey Pancho about what size is it 6" 8" ???? Yeah rick I see what you're talking about & it's on both sides of the handle even!

[crashdive123]

Outstanding job panch0.

@ poco - panch0's are selling quality. Mine are giving away quality (nobody complains about free stuff right?).

Its a tad bit under 8.5" long overall. Thanks guys. :blushing:

[panch0]

Crash your sheaths and first knives are way better than my first. I destoyed all evidence of those and nobody can proove a thing. Hehehe.

[vthompson]

WOW panchO, that is one beautiful knife. You do outstanding work. That is something to be proud of.

[Ken]

Betcha' you could. You're an artist. :clap:

[Ken]

Isn't that what Quality Control is all about? :innocent:

[crashdive123]

Isn't that what Quality Control is all about? :innocent:

Yep. Quality Control will be giving at least one away in a couple of weeks in Indiana.

"Indiana" M-A-S-S-A-C-H-U-S-E-T-T-S "Indiana"

[panch0]

Can I send a picture of myself and enter the give away that way?:sneaky2:

[crashdive123]

It's not that far - make the drive.

[Sourdough]

Very well done. I used that drop-point style for most of the my Professional Hunting career for cape removal and field dressing game. Most had 3 3/4" to 4 1/4" blades. My go to knife now is just like that one, but with a deep belly. What would that quality knife sell for where you live.....? Here that knife would sell for $185.00 to $215.00 but it is a labor of love for the knife maker, as they end up netting $5.00 per hour. So I tip my hat, and give huge thanks to all knife makers, for the gifts they give the world. Will done, nice USEFUL art.

I tip my hat too Pancho, I'd just be afraid of messing up such a beauty.

I let em go for about a little more than half of that down here.

[/QUOYE]Sure - just send your picture to Rick. We'll let you know who the lucky camper is that gets to take your picture home.[/QUOTE]

I'll make sure I look purdy:blushing:

[OICU812]

That is a sweet blade anyone would be proud to own much less when you make one yourself, mine always seem to turn out to be a possum skinner everytime! I love drop points and never tire of checking out top shelf fix-blades.
One question is this, If for some crazy reason you decided to sell -say that particular blade, what kind of dollar value would YOU place on your own workmanship for said gutter?

[crashdive123]

Read posts 15 and 18.

[Rick]

Stop! Hold it right there! Do not go one keystroke further. I have been first in line on every one of these knives. (spits in both hands). There will be snot slingin' and eye gougin' before I let this one get past me.

[crashdive123]

Hmmmmm. Snot finished scales.

[panch0]

Dangit Crash!!!!!! You let my secret out!!!

[crashdive123]

I was wondering how you got that shine on them.

[pocomoonskyeyes]

SO THAT"S HOW you got that "Flame" pattern on the wood.... musta' been some hard snot slingin'!!

[panch0]

This is when having a cold is a big benefit. Lol. Wait until I perfect the barf finish.

[crashdive123]

I just don't wanna see any knives with running scales.

[welderguy]

Exceptional craftsmanship. you do awesome work .

[Ole WV Coot]

You outdid yourself on that one. Looks good enough to steal.

[Ken]

Uhhh, what my client meant to say was "Looks like you used enough good steel." :innocent:

[panch0]

I just took a photo of the post before you guys can doctor it. I will sell you said pics for one million dollars!

It was a typo. Coot made a typographical error. And he mispoke as well. (He does live kinda' close to D.C. - maybe it's contageous.) :innocent:

However, this talk about "one million dollars" has a ring of "extortion" or "blackmail" to it. :sneaky2:

One word: WOW! Panch0, you truly are an artist. That is one of the most gorgeous knives I've ever seen! If you ever feel the need to, say, mail one to Oklahoma, just let me know! :thumbup1: Congratulations on having that kind and amount of talent!!
