Kevin,
       You did real good on them. I like the spacers and the shape of the blades is nice. Great job. Lin

Hey, even identical twins aren't identical Rooster!

Besides, if they had been...we'd have had to call ya out for using water jets, CNC milling machines and that stuff.  ;~)

Knives came out great man.  Very polished work.

That is the hardest thing a maker of hand made knives can do.  Even for the most experience makers, it's nearly impossible.  

Great work!

I've had the chance to examine one of these closely and it is a very nice hunter. The fit and finish is very good. How long have you been making knives Kevin? Lin

Lin your right. i was the lucky one to get a knife from Rooster last year in the knife swap. The man is all talent. I was in awe and still have not used it. It's one of my Trad Gang collection knives in a table with a glass top. <><
