D*mn, more competition from the "community" 
That's a rugged looking piece of work. How does it cut?
I like the designer micarta too.

Ummm... you better be there too, or I might buy it from him... or have Mr. Bill and mcarey crush him and then I'll just steal the knife for myself
Hmmm, maybe no crushing will be needed... I could just steal it.

I'll get mcarey to help me steal it, he was 1st Group, ah, the SFA Chapter here is mostly 1st Group, maybe I don't need any more lessons.

I guess you can only take so many pictures of a knife but took it out to the range today to do some door breaching. Figured I would wear it and get a feel for the knife in full kit. I forgot it was on at some points. I could hardly feel it. Still easily accessible with kit and gloves and didn't notice it when sitting in the HMMWV. My knife... is AWSOME!

Hmmm... That looks like it will fit my hand. 
Have you beat up on it any?
Better make sure that thing is well guarded if it comes down to OKC -
It'll probably come back to WA, but a bit further north than the Ft Lewis area.

The knife and it's maker will be at the show this weekend. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend due to SFAUC training (It's really good training anyway ).

In the FWIW category, it's always best to not show the original design drawings. Wait until the final knife is finished.
Knifemakers don't make mistakes...we just modify existing patterns.. 
Nice looking knife. Keep us posted on how it performs.

Bravo-Smash... Opie let me ruin your knife by scraping it across a few stones, sorry about that. Let me know if it bites you now that it's got teeth.
This is one nice knife, comfortable in the hand, well balanced, and takes an edge well. I actually put one on order for myself.

I thoroughly enjoyed handling your knife and especially like that it is comfortable in my small hand.
Am debating putting in a special request from the knife maker for one of my own. In pink.
