Hi all, I bought the last 2 that Charles posted here and the quality of craftsmanship is excellent.  I carried / wore one of them for the last 2 days of our hunting season without any problems.  The magnets in the bear phalanx knife sheath work superbly and the blade took an excellent edge.  He is a stand up guy to deal with.  I am missing the model though.  :D    :readit:
cheers, Dale

I also bought a knife from Charles that I gave to my brother as a birthday gift.  He says it's one of the best knives he's ever used.  TRW

ps. I'm also wondering where the model is

The girlfriend / model will be back, had to travel for a funeral, I will tell her she is missed.

I appreciate the reviews. I enjoy making a practical, affordable tool for my fellow tradgangers.

Charles

Can't wait to you get to post pictures of the Bear Femur knives.  I just checked out Ben's facebook page and the blades look great!  

Thanks

JD

Charles and Ben are in the process of making a pair of full size knives for me and my son out of a bone from a bear i killed with my bow this summer.  The bone i kept was the large femur bone.  Each blade will be about 5" long and handles are another 4-5"....so these should be "full size".  We will post some pics when completed.

Thanks

Michael
