I agree with the guys above, if you are looking to spend that much, he would be better served with several more task specific, quality knives than just one really expensive one
No problem, I've done a few with 1095, but sent them out for the heat treat, I have a stick of D2 that I'll eventually do a couple out of when I get time again. I was making them when I was living/working in California and had left the guns in Montana.
My first version didn't have that but asked Gil what bullets he was running, and being as they're tipped I knew I would want them jabbing into me if I slipped so added the pocket
Just swing through Bozeman on your way down and I can have one waiting for ya, I'm also thinking about making one for a rifle cartridge similar to this pistol one
thanks Dan and Vince
I enjoy taking an idea and turning it into something someone wants, likes, and uses. He was pretty proud to show it off when I gave it to him Monday.
(Wait until Gil shows off what I've made for him, once I figure out the easiest way to get it north of the border)
