    Rasp and Ironwood..

    Love the look of the pins against the ironwood and the look of the blade. The finish , and leaving the marks of the rasp in there compliments the look of the wood. Very nicely done , I know something like that would bring a smile to my face each time I used it.

    The Yost 1* is a clean piece. Really enjoy talking with that crew at SHOT show. I think I am going to have either Bailey or Jason Burton do up a Commander for me. Their work is very clean and always functional.

    Basic simple fixed blades

    Those are sort of like corby's but not really , more like loveless bolts on the off side. So you are left with a ring in the center.

    What do you look for in custom knives?

    I prefer to hold it in my hand with my eyes closed , while looks are important , I like to make sure it feels right. Depending on the price , I am willing to overlook certain imperfections , though I only buy knives to use , not to collect to sell later. To me that knife has to feel good in the...
