Logan - love that little wood handle utility.

 

[black mamba]

I'm with Roger (as I so often am) on the Pearce utility. Lovin' the dark burl and "as forged" flats, they really compliment each other.

 

[mwschilling]

Ben's little hunter is something special. Unique and beautiful. Can't wait to fondle it.

Stag handled Sendero. Wolf tooth Damascus, Stainless guard with engraving. 5 1/2 inch blade.

This!

 

[RogerP]

The Sendero is such a timeless classic. Is the blade on this one a smidgen longer than usual?

 

[Del Raso Knives]

Keep coming back to check out new posts. Outstanding quality work Gentlemen. Hope you all have an exceptional show.

Dang Roger, that was a good call. Yes, 1/2 longer than normal and just a tad more slender. I had gotten happy with the hammer.

Thanks Jerry - the results of the happy hammer are sure to make the lucky recipient smile.

Thanks for the update Chris. Nice to see Ben and David's name there well deserved, as are all I'm sure.
