Guys, those are some PRETTY knives.
I am a hack and have tried a number of good knives.
I am a multiple knife user...I sharpen them ALL before starting and use them all
during the process. Keeping an edge is my biggest problem.

Better knife ain’t going to help,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ain't likely to hurt. Lol

Sam, I will be happy to get some steels and scabbards ready for your young'uns. Best gift is to teach them to keep a knife. Keep Sharp, Keep clean, Keep safe from damage, Keep safe toward others.
Keep safe to yourself, Keep it put away when not in use.

That is how I presented it to my kid and it stuck.

Remind me at convention time. I plan on FTA, Iowa, for sure, maybe another state or the NTA. or If you can make it to Beaman in October.

Big Sam
I f you can get Dave McCroskey out of Oklahoma to build you one you wouldn't be disappointed. I've never ever seen any knife close to them as far as holding and edge and it's in believable how sharp they are. He recommends using tape when you put it in the case the first few times and I would recommend it as well. I don't care how many beaver you or anyone else caught you couldn't wear it out.
