It has been a while since I posted here,please accept my apology for the absence.

I have some action shots,I love all the beautiful knives by Tony ,Reese & Kerry,hafted in stag & Ivory. But I'm a practical knife nut & the micarta is my thing.

This is a slicer by Tony.This knife is a cutting machine!











This is a Zulu shadow ,by Tony
One of the best single blade EDC pocket knives,period

I use them on surf & turf..





The slicer knife works great on larger size bass as a fillet.The stiff blade is better on the heavy belly boned fish,rather a flexible blade

Vince, thanks a lot for sharing these folding beauties with us.
It's nice to see they are actually used and I bet it is a real joy smile

Best, Peter

Guido,that knife is 11-1/8" OAL
The blade is 6-3/8" from the handle scales to the tip,with about a 5-7/8" cutting edge. It's 154 CM stainless & has a wicked edge,its ground like un real.
I keep a "toothy" edge on it.

This is a belt loop -less sheath,I had made for the slicer knife. By Larry Parsons,of Mustang Oklahoma.
It is basically a "scabbard". It protects everything from the blade,if you want to pack it & tote it.
