Some good looking knives.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Are these sold? If not, how much for the last one?

[Guest Bowdenknxvll]

Thanks guys! The Bushpal is available but the pointer has already been sold.

Great looking knives...the pictures look great too. what kind of camera did you get?

[Guest Bowdenknxvll]

I picked up a used Nikon D70 with a 70mm macro. Im still learning all the settings, these were shit in manual mode.

What is Aldos 1095? I get the  1095 part, just not the Aldos??

[Guest sL1k]

I just now noticed no liners ! I actually like that better.

[Guest Bowdenknxvll]

Aldos is Aldo Bruno, a steel supplier, good stuff.
I actually have two sheathmakers Daniel, I switch out!
Yeah, Ive been doing some without liners lately. I have become allergic to a certain epoxy so Ive been trying a different epoxy that bonds to wood better than G10.

so you were allergic to the epoxy and not the wood you were sanding ? I knew you had 2 sheath makers but that was a New sheath I hadn't seen.

[Guest Bowdenknxvll]

Yep, it was the epoxy. Swelled up like a blowfish a couple times. Ive been real careful lately but still get a rash on my hands when I work stabilized wood, even with gloves

[JKGlock17]

i really like the first knife the "Bushpal" you should market those

I saw the pics on bladeforums looked like you went a couple rounds with Tyson!

Is that the same Aldo Bruno as at NJ steel baron? If so then I am expecting some from him soon.
