    Default I finally made me one, I hope

    Here is one I only need to clean up a bit. It is 5/32 A2 toolsteel, 8.75OAL , Blade is 4 1/8" long, And the burl is stabeilized. It has a slight dovetail and some vine filework. The pins are stainless corby's. I want to keep this one for Deer season, but thats what I said about the last one I made. Whatcha think.

    I like the looks of that one. I think you should adopt me and make me an apprentice.

    I haven't seen one yet I didn't like. You should carry one if for no other reason than to be able to show your work.

    NO!!!!I want it hey pancho I'm not adverse to offering a bribe!!
    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

    What? The 2 (two) (1+1 matched) 1911s weren't enough? You gotta call for the knife too (two) (1+1 matched)?
