Both are definite beauties! I love Mikes execution of the eureka pattern and that’s awesome you have one, I don’t think he made many. What’s the handle material on the other one? It looks like it has some awesome coloring.

Thank you for sharing these skillfully crafted knives! I am a big fan of Mr. Moran's podcast, but yet to be fast enough to acquire one of his knives. I am living vicariously through the pictures here for sure.

Thanks! The eureka is an earlier one, when he was making them along with several other patterns. The smaller boys' knife is covered in horn, which has that cool streaking going through it--mesmerizing.

So much talk of Eurekas, I had to share the one I was able to acquire a couple months back. I’m definitely sad Mike doesn’t make this one anymore.

More and more I’m starting to appreciate horn as a handle material. Never owned a knife with it, but it always looks so cool. Totally agree on mesmerizing!

Killer example! Robertson slip by chance?

I’ve heard that horn doesn’t do well in some climates but so far it has been fine for me. It is very pretty material and seems just as durable as any other natural material.

purchase a tub of Absorbine Hooflex and treat it periodically. Keeps it from shrinking and cracking.

Very excited to join this club thanks to a generous member here. The fit and finish on this knife is superb and it has some of the best walk & talk I’ve ever experienced. Thanks again, Andrew.

The real secret handshake is being fast enough on the button when he posts one for sale. I still haven’t mastered that part!

Going to go back and read thought this thread as I have enjoyed getting the emails with Mike’s new knives.
Did anyone on the porch score the Canyon Jack from this week?! It looks fantastic.

It’s been a coon’s age since I’ve been around. I haven’t really been buying knives since I’ve been transitioning from a job and move (still waiting on the house to sell). But I did get this knife, which is a rehandle Mike did for me after the original handle began to deteriorate due to moisture. It is even better than the original, I think.

That looks incredible!!!! And the micarta on it is really neat looking! Congrats, it looks like Mike did an amazing job on that rehandle!

Here’s a pair in the rarely used blue canvas micarta…
