Those are fantastic!! I LOVE 'em!! So many knives, so little money!! Sigh!!

[McGyver]

Dammit Mike, I get my priorities in line, first a Sandstorm, a mikro slither, and then you have to go and do this! How am I ever supposed to be content when you guys keep coming out with such cool new stuff... Will I ever be free of this addiction???

[TKC]

At this rate, I am going to have to get one of everything at Bark River. Mike, yoou are killling me! You make some awesome knives!! How in the hell am I ever going to choose?!

[Matches]

Yeah, I need to look up Rene Roy...I think he lives within an hour of me and is a dealer.

[Parker]

Mike, very nice - very like a Herron Boot Knife, which I was NOT gonna pay for....

Anyway, what's the boot on these?

[bart-1]

Very nice! Looks good in the hand.

[Mike Stewart]

I have added the actual Build List and the Retail Prices above.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

This is one of my favorite Small Knives.

[Semper708]

:semper: Mike, nice work, no luck needed for sales....these are winners! :semper:

[UltraReef]

Really cool!! Fantastic work!! :) :) :)

[dfarmerknives]

I.....HATE.....YOU!!!!!!!:eekfinger

I fell in love with Bark River last year, then ran into money troubles and had to sell. :maxi:

Now, with all of the cool new stuff, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BUY FIRST!!!!!!!!!:usa:

[The General]

Excellent! :roxxor:

Would you really put this knife in your boot?

[Mike Stewart]

Wayne,

Good Question.

The term Boot knife today has come to mean a small knife that is a utility or small martial shape and can be consealed or worn on the belt.

I don't think that there are many folks Today that put anything in thier boot except thier Foot.

It is interesting how old terms change in common usage over the years.
