Thanks Gary and Robert,
These are the first in a series of rugged useing knives I designed for a couple of large sporting good stores here in Ohio.I wish the picture I took would have turned out better. These knives as all in the series are made of BG-42,satin finished.Each knife is Rockwell tested to insure quality heat treating.There is a wide variety of handle material to chose from,G-10,carbon fiber,all the various woods,and g-10,wood inlay combo,s.This knife is 7 3/4" long overall with a 3 7/8" blade,the blade stock is 1/8" thick.This knife will be available with or without a false edge.Each knife will come with a multi position kydex sheath. I'm limiting the production on this knife to 150 knives.I priced this series of knives to appeal to those collectors who have been collecting factory knives but would like to step into the world of custom knives without breaking the bank on the first one.If you have any questions I would love to answer them.Thanks again!

A couple more, I like the handle config on these and the blade shape suits me as well, what do you guys/gals think?

Here is a note from Rick that talks about these two;

Its a little bigger than the other one.The Blade steel is BG-42,satin finished on one and bead blasted on the other.The blade length is 5", with a overall length of 9 1/2"The handle is inlayed maroon micarta on one and honduras rosewood on the other inside G-10.The handles are contured and they come off with ease and theirs a pocket milled out on the inside for a little hideaway.
There are serrations on the handle for thumb and forefinger and on the back for the reverse grip.(This knife feels real good
in the reverse grip)And a lanyard slot rounds out the package.

Asked Rick for a closeup of the handle, very neat inlay there!
