Nice grab, Monk. Congrats!

The Bloodwood on my 1 of 3 #33 shows lots of "movement" and depth depending on the viewing angle. Photos just don't capture it, but I think you'll really like this stuff.

Here's the #33:

Thanks, Earl.

I dunno about that holding-a-candle assessment - your pics are kickin' some serious butt. That Wildfire teardrop spread looked like a pro took 'em. ::tu::

Corvus....I'm guessing you gave your short run a good once over,what did you think? I went over mine last night and they continue to do a slick job on a challenging lil pattern,very pleased.

Very nice knives and photos, Earl! I never saw that Spring Green coming. ::drool:: <---*drooling*

Yeah, I went over my Purple Sage from stem to stern and it's as flawless as a production knife can be. Not a single issue to be found, and I'm pretty picky. No rubs or gaps anywhere, perfect centering on the master, nice uniform pulls, smooth action and very nice F 'n' F all around. I have a decent assortment of #57s, and I've had nary a complaint with any of 'em.

Earl - great photos of a beautiful knife.

Is this the same as the short run "brown" horn Halfwitt available on Mike Latham's site?

Earl you guys must have an inside track here that I'm not aware of, to get these short runs and factory tests, or maybe I'm too busy to pay attention. ::shrug:: Beautiful one of a kind knife right there! ::tu:: ::tu::
