I recently got some of that reddish color Micarta. This gives me an idea as to what the final product will look like.
Thanx for sharing...

I too find tapered tangs aesthetically pleasing. I can weigh in on that once I’ve got mine in hand but from the photos he appears to be very meticulous with his grinds and the fit/finish looks impeccable. It’s hard to believe he can do that for the price point.
The goal for this winter was to shoot a sambar stag with my sons and have three identical knives made from the antlers but last night the youngest decided he wanted to shoot his own stag and have the knife made with its antlers. The oldest had to play copycat so thats the new plan. Head south and find three stags with antlers fit for some knives. Then discuss options with either Sponaugle or Crotts and have three new knives built.
Just doing a little knife sharpening. All 4 from Clint Chisan in Magnacut. Damn good knife steel.
The filet knife on the right was made up for my buddy Tim Prinsen. He played center for the Eskimos and coached the offensive line after he retired. Clint did it up in green and gold and etched his number into it as well. Just a beautiful knife.
Regarding Averagejoe's post #2104, I did some research on this Hapstone sharpening system, and liked what I found. So I took advantage of the sale, and got one of their systems. I have sharpened 4 knives from zero...very impressed.
