Well guys*****I finally got my ""Goodie Bag"" from Muskrat Man,and

____I'll let yall be the judge ?????? I was,rubbin' & wipin' & grinnin',all day yesterday,and to be really honest

I nearly ""knifed in my pants"" ,as I was opening each one

The Ivory & Stag both turned out very well, IMHO___ Lots of photos,that can't show ya',what they really look like in hand,

but I hope yall enjoy these,as much as I enjoy sharin' with my AAPK,family !!!!! Monk

Thanks guys !!!!!!

____A funny note*** The big #23 Axis Stag,came back,with the blade sitting high

You could cut your finger (I did) and it would snag your pocket

___I ask,Muskrat Man,what to do, ????__cause I'm no ""knife -mechanic""

He says,____if you "'Feel Comfortable"" you can file down the kick ????

say what ?????? (how can I feel comfortable,putting a file ,on my "'New Knife"'

)_____well,I did anyway,but was nervous as a cat in church,and the blade sits flush now__problem solved

____ PS, still ain't no ""knife-mechanic"",but, I know how to file a kick !!!

Monk,
These are simply amazing. You are building quite a collection of "Ratnest" customs …
Just beautiful, my friend.
Thank you for sharing.

Like bonehead not sure how I missed your post Monk,amazing knives brother
Just curious,were these all slabs when you got them Monk? Did you just let MM do his thing or did you have some specifics for him? I can only imagine how these are IN HAND.

I send him the slabs & knives---and let him""do his thing""

I am always amazed,and surprised, at what the handles look like,when they come back !!!! Each,slab of mammouth,has it's own ""finger prints"" no two the same

He asked me, about filing the backsprings or such,but as I told him__I don't want to get em' to ""FANCY"" to carry_______Monk
