Re: ? ON fightin Bull
Fightin Bull knives are handmade by a fellow named Wendell Carson. They are very well made knives and Mr. Carson is known for using exotic handle materials. I saw one over on the bay a while back that had swordfish bill scales! If you ckeckout Clays Cutlery AAPK store he has a Couple of fine examples of Wendell's work 
The crossed tomahawks is his trademark 
The crossed tomahawks is his trademark Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammo! I live in my own little world. But it's OK. They know me here!

Sounds like a great deal. I've never seen a Wendell Carson made knife that wasn't well worth that price .I think he gets most of his steel & metal parts from Queen Cutlery and hand finishes them with a personal touch. He's a very skilled craftsman IMO...

Re: ? ON fightin Bull
Sounds like an incredible deal. Wendell started his own brand of "Fightin Bull" knives in 1998. Wendell is an excellent craftsman/knife maker; his "Fightin Bulls" are a step or two above regular production knives; and he makes a full custom from time to time The Fightin Bulls usually go for $100 to a few $100; on his eBay site "Knifeman110". I have owned several of his knives and all were excellent. 
Sam Turner has one of the largest collections; of Wendell's knives that I know of.

Chris, BEAUTIFUL. I think this is the best pattern that Wendell does. I had some in the; same handle materials. Sure hate; I didn't hang on to them. 
I don't think Wendell will be; making knives much longer.

Wendell is also a first class individual who has impressed me more than once with his kindness and sincerity...
