    Next Knife Going To Army Pilot

    I like it! Small, simple design (I mean that as a compliment) = all business and no B.S. I have no doubt it will serve well.

    Hello from TX.

    Welcome to the pack Aaron. I completely understand your time constraints. M wife and I had our risky child six months ago. I think I've been in my shop half a dozen times in the past 14 months.

    first public sale experience

    It is a beautiful place. One day I hope world affairs will allow me to bring my family there for vacation. I would love for my little girl to one day have the opportunity to dive with me in the Red Sea.

    first public sale experience

    SHOKR, there's a good possibility I've visited the bazaar where you were set up. Being able to say that, I know it is not your product which is lacking. I distinctly recall your first post here on KD where you introduced yourself. Afterwards you and I exchanged several PMs discussing my trip to...

    A few in Stag

    Nice work. I'm particularly fond of the drama steel blade. The orange spacers really set it off.

    Combat knife design

    Don't get me wrong, I'm an Infantry soldier and I love big knives. The problem is that I have found that I never really need one. Granted, a larger knife is easier to use for cutting brush if you are building a hide site but I have successfully used a 3.5-4" blade to do the task. The key is to...

    Stolen knife alert, from the TSA area

    Glad to hear you found it Bruce. When I got home from Pennsylvania last week I was a bit nervous when I found the "TSA Inspection Card" in my luggage. Luckily, all four of my knives I had taken with me were accounted for.

    Combat knife design

    Sorry I'm late to the game, I've been out of pocket for a bit. First, as a soldier I can say that the average soldier does not use a knife as a weapon. A soldier's knife is a utility tool first and foremost. The design should lend itself to easy and comfortable use and should be easily...

    Stolen knife alert, from the TSA area

    Very sad to hear this Bruce. I'll keep my eyes open here in Arkansas. Unfortunately, there's probably an idiot running around with it in his pocket who isn't smart enough to distinguish your beautiful piece of art from an Old Timer. I had a maker once tell me that he now makes it a point to...

    Kydex vs. Leather

    The primary factors I take into consideration are design and purpose of the knife. Personally I prefer Kydex for practical/utility designs where as I like leather for traditional bowies and hunters. A key factor for me is the design of the handle though. Regardless of the design of knife, I find...
