thank you. im very tempted to push this blade under a 1/4" thickness. its in my truck and everytime i see it i want to thin it. need to start on another and give this one over to the pig hunter. have one decent piece of root beer left i think i can get a 9" blade from .

Man you cleaned that thing right up Jamie! Thinned, straightened, cleaned up the face. Like your tool kit. You are a true caveman ;).

thanks guys. looks like it may end up in a pig. talked to the guy last nite and he's jonesing to have it hafted up. just talked to another guy about getting some onondaga and asked for a piece i can get a 10" blade from. he's gonna look at what he has and if he has it im gonna go for a bigger one. tried to get a piece from rootbeer and there was too much cortex on it. the rootbeer one is gonna be my next try at a cumberland. need to get back to that project.

 That is outstanding, Jamie. Tell your friend you are sending it to me and I'll get pig blood on it for him. We're going after them this weekend in Ga.

The one bone still looks like it has meat scraps on it. You can't get much more ABO than that! Damn impressive results.

That looks really great. I hope to do that someday.  Outstanding can't believe how you took the curve out of that blade.   It would have been cool to watch you do that.
