I called it a nessmuck...which it reminds me of but a friend pointed out that it and the olive wood one are old Bob Engnath designs.

Clarence,

Those knives are all gorgeous. I like the buckeye the best of all the woods, and the knife with the afzelia burl is probably my favorite overall if I could only have a single knife to use in the field, but I would be thrilled to have any (or all) of them. The sheaths look great too. You keep getting better and better at this, and I too am surprised at how many knives you have been producing.
