Hey.....Thanks for all the great feedback on this knife, it has always been a real challenge to design a knife that is not a copy of someone elses work. I have now made 4 knives with the fully file worked and exposed spine so far this year. This is the style and design I will be staying with...

It is great to find this thread, finding other brothers in CHRIST, I find a battle in life every day, but go into all of them through prayer. I'm not much of a talker but a good listener. Thanks guys and thank GOD for your fellowship......Dave

Thank you to all vets! A few years ago while I was at Mastersmith, Hugh Bartrug's funeral, I spent most of the day talking with his son Hugh, as I was about to leave I thanked him for his service. He let go of our handshake and just hugged me as tears filled his eyes, he was a Navy Seal for...

Thanks, but I didn't forge the mosic IN GOD WE TRUST, Hugh bartrug did it in 1994. I used it to end off this knife since it was my first attempt in forgeing damascus and he was my teacher.

Extremly nice folders, I like the way all the lines compliment each other, very very nice.
