Just in case you're not visiting the other venues for information.....swiped off of Bob Andrews "Old Hundred Collectibles Blog"........"We will also be seeing the new 76 Outlaw Jack Knife in the near future. Followed by the new 65 Benjamin L. Hogan Single Blade LockBack Knife. These new patterns should be very popular and there are several PLANNED Short Run Handle Materials included with these new patterns"

Anyone looking for something special with the #65 Lockback like Camel Bone better visit Collector Knives Forum and if you're not already registered with Mike on his forum....what are you waiting for....

I understand that there will be about 30 camel bone 65L's made, but only around a dozen and a half Pheasant Feathers made. Can't wait to see the camel...

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.

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. <---*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.
