        Not to go off on a tangent, but we frequently have the Croc debate as well.:D Put me in the “pro” crowd. A good treatment of the topic:

                    Yep, and I like the Kephart too. But the wait time is crazy….I periodically check the in-stock models to see if one I want is available. Is that good steel for a one-deer-without-resharpening blade?

                    *edit: Now that I look at it, that Nessmuk shortened to a 3.5″ blade may be the ticket.

                      Have any of you owned a knife from Lucas Forge (Lucas Bullington)? Ran into a trad hunter on some public land near here….his knife caught my eye, and he gave me the info on the maker. I really like the Packer model in a curly maple handle (below). 3.5″ blade, 8″ overall. Just wondering.

                            Yep….hunter hiding in full camo, impersonating the quarry, and often with a gobbler decoy in front! I hunt turkeys with a shotgun and a bow, but it flabbergasts me that it is legal in my state to turkey hunt with a scoped, inline muzzleloader. An absolute recipe for disaster, given some folks inclination to snipe a strutting turkey across a pasture….

                              Gorgeous, Bruce. Nice choice of woods. How do you like that takedown system so far? Shoot like a one piece?

                                Looks good to me. Paper tuning is the ticket, imo.

                                Did I miss the post where you announced the new arrival? Thought you just put one on order?

                                So…..pics, specs, thoughts?:D
