I have no idea who might have made it.
I must admit that some custom knives can be very gratifying. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Form follows function. Believe it or not, when I was in High School I had a thing for the International Transtar Cab Over tractor. (Drive into a High School parking lot with that, and watch the heads turn)!

Re: Ripper, Jack The
When at long last I have "Boats" it will be worth the wait. The few knives that I have that could possibly beat it would be my "early model" Benchmade AFO, SOG Spec Elite 2 Auto, Buck 110 Auto, or Buck 898 Impact. Anything more useful would have to be a sheath knife.
BTW, my Stag-scaled Queen #1L swing guard auto conversion is kind of special. Its drop-point D2 steel blade works well.

Dave:
Would you please post the final model of "Boats" for the forum? I would like for the Forum to understand the concept behind the knife. Why, and how it is being created may help people comprehend the reasoning for its creation.
Thanks.

Re: Boats
Per Fishtail Picklock's request:
This is actually a slightly updated version with a flush fire button (shown in the "fire" position.) Here's the open view:
This is the open view with internals.
Here's the closed view, now with the button in "rest" position.
And here it is with internals.
We're planning on 3/16" 1095 steel (like 4,7 mm) and with that grind it should be a real cutter. Everything else is over-sized for strength.
