Gone Fishin'
Here is a picture of a little something I got a couple of years back from Lamadamas, a source in Europe who has since dropped off the face of the earth, metaphorically speaking. Anyone know what happened to him?

That's not a fish. It's a whale!
Re: Gone Fishin'
Awesome! That's huge. How deep is your pocket? I bet the tail pops out. The handle is made of wood so does your fish swim/float?
What are the specs? OAL? Blade size? What's it weigh?

Re: Gone Fishin'
You would need XXXXL Cargo Pants to actually carry that piece. It is 19 1/2" in length. Blade is 8 3/4". The scales are solid wood (Cocobolo), and although I have no idea of the weight, I am sure it would NOT float....

My school of fish [2-16 cm 1-20 cm] are only slightly longer combined
Re: Gone Fishin'
The blade is almost as long as a regular 9" stiletto. That knife is a monster; a fish on steroids.

Re: Gone Fishin'
Thanks, Dave. Researching and writing that piece was very interesting and enjoyable. There is lots to learn about our hobby and the artisans who create the knives we all enjoy.dave wrote:Hey! I SAW that knife in the SD news letter. Great read Dave! I enjoyed it.

Re: Gone Fishin'
What a BIG fish.
That's almost a record catch. I would like to see a video of it.
