And neither can I my friend!.  Prayers are with you, have the girls let me know when everything is good please

Definately not a Tanto Rob. I never saw the point of those anyway. This wide it should make a nice little skinning blade.

Hey Rob, I started sketching for ya.

How's this? It's 9"overall with the handle just under that length and the blade just over.

What do you think? Any tweaks you'd like to see to the design are more than welcome. Better now than after I've started grinding :-)

Some more questions. 9"overall, 4" handle? How long would you like the handle to be?

Only ebony I have left is Mun ebony which isn't black. But it's a very nice dark brown. You can see it on this knife:

Would that be ok?

I can do that no problem Rob. I have to check if the last piece of farriers rasp is long enough. But if not I might be able to forge it up to the right length.

Also I've been thinking about trying a coffin handle so the timing is pretty good.

9" total right? Flat grind?

HI!  Nice to meet you!  Does this mean I can borrow money?  LOL!  Hope to learn from all you guys.  --Thanx, Don in Memphis

Ty sir and an honor to be here.

Cool Rob. Let me know and I'll get to drawing something out. Also, I really like it when my knives fit the hands of my customers well. So take a good look at your hands and consider what kind of handle you'd like. I'd love to tailor the size of the handle to your hand size.

Robert, some input is always nice. What kind of blade would you like? Droppoint? Clippoint? Wharncliffe?, Belly? No belly? You let me know.

Also, what kind of handle would you like on it?

Robert, here is that KaBar Dogs Head you tipped me off to. Thanks

Thanks Robert I am trying to find my way around .

Robert, Congrats on that great mess of fish. You sure did better than we did in the River.Wish I could have been there with you, and esp. now to help you eat those fine looking fish. I guess the Bayou rocks. I have fished Toledo Bend and we got over in the Lousiana side - great place.

Thanks all, the multiple welcomes most appreciated!

I'm here for the education and to find a nice example of one maker's knives I've had difficulty finding, RC Knipstein.  We'll see what develops!

Thanks Robert, I will keep that in mind and try it.

Robert, I won the KaBar on Ebay tonight, thanks for the tip.
