[The General]

Now then, please say you will let me play with a Teddy Mike?:roxxor: :eyes: :roxxor:

[swampwolf]

I love that knife. Its got real traditional appeal. I will have one.

[wrockz]

I really like the looks all the way around, especially that wide blade!

[watercat]

That's a nice looking knife.

[Mike Stewart]

[TheBadGuy]

All the standard materials?? That blood groove looks like I would break suction like no other!! Any chance of a black coated blade?? :nana:

I REALLY like this model!! I need a good hunting knife.

Mike, for big game (IE. Deer), what model would you say is your favorite for hunting? Just curious

[Mike Stewart]

Jason,

My personal favorite of our line for most hunting is the Fox River.

For really big game--like Elk and Moose that you have to quarter in the field--The gameskeeper.

Better blade for poppin' joints.

The Teddy is a larger knife and will handle the large game situations and most camp chores too.

I'm anxious to see wayne's review of it.

Mike...........................

[The General]

Not as anxious as I am to play with one Mike!:roxxor: :eyes:

[wes]

Sounds like Knife Porn to me.

Mike we need more pics please :roxxor:

[Kalooch135]

I'm really liking that knife. The one problem I see though is with the sheath. The strap is gonna' get cut up removing the knife from the sheath. Any chance of that sheath maker changing his mind on that design Mike?

Regardless of the sheath the knife looks pretty damn rugged and should get some extra cash available I'll definitely pick on up. What handle choices would we have?

[Mike Stewart]

Ken,

The strap does flop out of the Way.

I don't think we are going to have a Problem.

The Sheath was designed by Custom Sheathmaker Mike T.

He is at the top of the Custom Sheath Game and is a member here on the devil.

The Actual Production is being done By Bogdan's crew in Serbia.

The quality of these sheaths is right up there with most of the top leather folks.

You will like the package.

We wil have a couple of these at one of the Club Meetings in the near Future.

[Mr.LaBella]

:faint: on this LAST one Mike!:wolfgang:

[Stabber]

:bow: Awesome Mike!!

[Walking Man]

Seeing a huge blood groove like that makes me want to covertly deanimate.
:mallninja

[Clydetz]

Superb blade; outstanding handle! :thumbsup: Hey Mike... has anyone told you that you do outstanding work?

[TKC]

Mike, you continue to blow me away!! WOW!!

[Mike Stewart]

Here is another with Gemsbok.

http://barkriverknives.com/albums/album86/Teddy_Gemsbok_Irnwd_Pommel.jpg

This one I built with the Standard Guard and Pommel.

I used Desert Ironwood for the 4 Spacers.

It feels real good in the hand.

I actually made two of these.

Mike.......................................:thumbs up:

[TPyke]

These just keep getting nicer and nicer!!

[Mike Stewart]

How about some Sambar Stag Carvers?

http://barkriverknives.com/albums/album86/Teddy_Sambar_Carver.jpg

And with Finger Grooves( had to do at least one that way)

http://barkriverknives.com/albums/album86/Teddy_Sambar_Carver_Finger_Grooves.jpg

Just finished these.

They won't ship till Monday.

thanks,

Mike.......................................:thumbs up:

[Walking Man]

WOW! If Chuck Norris needed a knife, he'd probably carry one just like one of those! :TOB:

[TPyke]

Mike,
I was checking out DLT, and saw there will be two teddy's; the teddy and the Teddy Hunter...what is the diiference between the two? In the pic on DLT, the blade on the Hunter looks longer....

[Mike Stewart]

T,

The Hunter version has no Top Quillion on the guard.

It only has the lower Quillion.

Here is a Teddy Hunter in Sambar Crown Stag.

http://barkriverknives.com/albums/album87/Teddy_Hunter_Sambar_Crown.jpg

All else is about the same. We do take a little off the top of the blade to blend it in to the face of the guard but................

Since all of them are hand done--there will be small differences from knife to knife.

We will be making a lot more of these in the next week or two.

Mike............................

[magnum]

They just keep gettin' better and better Mike!!:bow: :bow:

[Clydetz]

I'm so drooling for a Teddy Hunter....!

[Kalooch135]

Mike,

What are the current prices on the models shown? I'm really liking that Antique Micarta model. :gogdog:

[Mike Stewart]

Ken,

here is the link to the Gallery that has all the models we made so far and all the retail prices.

http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/761940/

Those are the Retail Prices.

Bob at Brightedge has special pricing for all the JD Crew.

I agree with you about the Antique ivory. One of my personal Favotites.

Thanks,

Mike........................:thumbsup:

[BoerBoelGuy]

NOW thats a Fuller and a 1/2:nana: frankly I cant recall seeing a Fuller, "Fuller", awesome as always!

Loandr.

[Mike Stewart]

Thanks,

I did want to throw something in here about the Antique Ivory Micarta.

A lot Traditional Period Knives actually did have Genuine Elephant or Walrus Ivory as an optional handle.

I have seen a lot of them over the Years.

We Switched from the White Paper Micarta to the new Antique Ivory the minute it became avalible.

The bottom line is you have to look --and the feel real Ivory--It is the right color but----It's Micarta.

That means you have to look of the fragile Original in a handle material that is virtually indestructable.
