Deathwind is a classic design.

[Lon Humphrey]

Deathwind is a classic design.

[Lon Humphrey]

[Buffalohump]

Great stuff Lon! If you have any Mini-Brutes left over from the show, please give us a 'stab' at them here...

I like your knives ! I especially like the forge flared back of the choil,trouble is others won't do it because that would be copying you. So I guess if I want that I will have to have you make me one. The Camp knife does it for me BTW.

there are other guys doing the forged in guard...im not the first to do the guard that way Joe Keesler showed me how to do it along with 20 other guys
i will have 3 or 4 of the camp knives with me in Atlanta



Scagel handled sushi knife?? this is a custom order the guy has MASSIVE hands so the only way to get the handle right is to do it how Scagel did his with the handle high on the tang

the inlay work is supposed to be "nasty" according to google translator

[Scout]

Beautiful blades, as always, Lon.

That Sushi knife is breathtaking. I dont mind the look of the handle at all. Makes a lot of sense if for a big dude to work with.

Kitchen knives hit me right in the gut (not literally though!).
I have been thinking for a while, that I need a set of proper kitchen knives instead of the hotch-potch bunch, I currently use.

Speaking of heavy duty butcher knives: That last knife would not have looked out place on the sandbar!! Fantastic less-is-more knife!! Really like that.

Im a sucker for those traditional big blades ..., but then that hardly comes as a surprise.

PS
Really need one of those nifty Mini Brutes. Would make a great bushcraft-type knife IMO.

[Lon Humphrey]

thanks Scout, well im packed and ready to head south...let the migration begin see ya all in the pit
