Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 8, 2013 This thing is such a work of art, I HAVE to show it off here. I don't even have it in my hands yet. Paul did such a great job on it!!!! I'm kind of speechless over how it came out, so I'll just let the knife do the talking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) That is some beautiful California Burl on the back end. Congrats! THANKS!!! I really like the varying colors of it all and specifically chose the set that had that little blonde piece on front Between this and my new Bear Maul, I've learned that I REALLY have no experience in making choices - especially when it comes to wood!!! I'm just glad that both Paul and Ed are masters at their craft and know how to make such beautiful pieces when they're working with people as indecisive as me Edited April 8, 2013 by Cyberthrasher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheepo63 Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Really cool design. I bet its sharp as h*ll. Is it sharp on the shortside (the short blade faceing the handle) to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Mine is on order, and now I'm doubting my choice of wood! AAAAArrgggggghhhh! What did you choose Mike? If he hasn't started yours yet, I know he's got a good pile of the buckeye burl there - might be time to change your mind Whatever you end up with, I'm sure it will still be a work of art!! Really cool design. I bet its sharp as h*ll. Is it sharp on the shortside (the short blade faceing the handle) to? Yes, it has a pull cut feature on it too. I opted for a Rhino tip on this as well. He has another round knife called the Rhino which has that pointed tip on top. It makes the overall length of the cutting edge a little shorter, but gives a nice point for getting into smaller corners. In terms of sharpness - both Paul and his wife said "the blade is SHARP!!". Considering who it's coming from, I'm reading that as "Super Scary Sharp!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Blea Report post Posted April 9, 2013 That's a fantastic knife, I know it will work well for YEARS! I bought one from Paul last year and love it! Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted April 9, 2013 Cyber, I chose a two tone with some red accents. I love the idea of it, but the burly wood stuff is so classic looking. I talked to paul last night and he hasn't started it yet so I have time if I want to change it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 10, 2013 I caved. Rosa was laughing in the background.... I'm such a bad influence sometimes. I hold no responsibility when it's time to explain the added cost!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
immiketoo Report post Posted April 10, 2013 wait theres added cost? oh no!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyberthrasher Report post Posted April 10, 2013 wait theres added cost? oh no!!! yeah, I want to say it was $35 for the custom wood. Paul will let you know for sure. I looked at it like this - I'm already paying $275 for a really cool knife. Why not pay a little bit more to make it 100% custom and guaranteed to be 1 of a kind Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Murf Report post Posted May 17, 2013 Love that knife, I just got an SK-3 and its awesome, so picking up the round knife anytime soon will result in a smack in the back of the head from my fiance.
