I get frustrated every time I see a picture of your Stretch Paul. I've been thinking about my next knife in the past few days. I had decided but now I'm reconsidering. I'm going to look at the Stretch and see what I'd need to do to make one like yours. Nowhere near the F&F I'm sure but WHAT A PROJECT!!! That would be far outside my skill level but after two or three tries maybe I could get it looking pretty good. Everything is outside my skill level on the first try. The Stretch is already a great knife but the bolster/wood handle is in a different class. I don't know where to get material to make a set of bolsters out of. I think I'll check into iit.
I just prepared my whole Thanskgiving dinner with with the Military Cruewear.Tons of chopping and slicing.I went at it for about three hours.The organic purple sweat potatoes were pretty fibrous.I think this steel would shine in a kitchen knife.
Today carrying my manix 2 xl and brown frn/xhp native, only used the native for cutting up my dinner, the manix is just coming along cause I always carry a big knife.
I used a K05 red handle with a neck sheath by Scott for prep before the cooking began. I had my usual EDC system with me as well.
