I'm pretty sure mine will be here by Fri., or Sat. at the latest, and I'll get it right up , probably the same day it arrives. The one I sent mine to should be getting it any day now also, if not already.

Enjoying looking at the others too, for sure.

I got this nice one from Owl Bait last week, it is O1 steel and zebrawood handle.
He put a nice polished finish on the blade and it is WICKED sharp, from one end to the other. It'll make your eyeballs bleed from looking at it!
I hope everyone is as tickled with their knife as I am!
Thanks Owl Bait!

Well, here's the knife I received from Tippit. Dandy camp knife made from 1080 high carbon steel. It has file work on the spine and I'm not sure of the handle wood, but I'm thinking cocobolo. Very nice knife with a heavy duty blade. Thanks again Tippit. Can't wait until next year.

I got my knife in the mail last night from skullworks. This is my first knife swap and my first handmade knife from someone else here on tradgang. I have to say I love it and hope to put it to good use on my first trad kill this fall. Thank you skullworks. The handle is mule deer antler. The sheath is 7-8oz handsewn and tooled. Skippy

Another good'un, skullworks!

Well, now you'll know ... the "rest of the story" - LOL Today, as predicted, I received my knife from that "ol' boy" Jeff Dorris posted about a few posts above - and (as I knew, and some of you may have suspected) that "ol' boy" that jeff wanted to get off his butt and get my knife to me, was none other than ... Jeff Dorris - LOL We had a number of PhonCons because he wanted time to do a couple of special things for me but wanted to make sure I wanted them on a knife. He's a great guy to talk to too. Namely he felt me out about finger grooves and snake skins.

So, without further ado, here is my "Snakey Gut Hook" from Jeff Dorris, repleat with Finger Grooves and Copperhead Snakeskin handle backing - and I love it:

OH wait - one other thing - Jeff had one cyber friend call him after his post and ask couldn't he be a little kinder to whoever was the poor guy who was supposed to send me my knife??? Of course he had to laugh at himself after Jeff told him who it was. He hadn't even noticed the smiley face. Good watching out for our members though.

Thank you, Jeff, for the knife - and for another good cyber friendship. Jeff also won the "Afghan, with a history" that my wife made for my mother (St. Jude Auction)

glad you liked it bernnie sorry for the crapy brad work on the sheath kinda got out of line there . hope you enjoy it for a long time to come Jeff

ber643 · « **Reply #55 on:** June 13, 2008, 06:42:00 PM »

Thanks for that too, Jeff, and I will do my best to hang around to enjoy it a long time. I forgot to mention, it has a dark, wood cap on the end of the handle but neither Jeff or I were sure what kind of wood it is - looks nice on there though.

MYSTIKBOW · « **Reply #56 on:** June 13, 2008, 07:17:00 PM »

Now thats what I'm talkin about. Great pics. and cool knives guys.

Jeff Fortner · « **Reply #57 on:** June 13, 2008, 09:35:00 PM »

I got this one from Brett Landon. Sweet! Sat out on the porch with a glass of Good Scotch and toasted the maker! Thanks Brett! Nice work!

ber643 · « **Reply #58 on:** June 13, 2008, 09:51:00 PM »

Jeremy · « **Reply #59 on:** June 14, 2008, 10:41:00 AM »
