Beautifully done man!
I'm Dave. I don't take myself too seriously and you probably shouldn't either.

Choil shots on Raders are generally not indicative of the grind due to the forged bolster. It appears different right at the choil than the rest of the knife.

Second on the drool comment, I have yet to see a Rader I was not impressed with.

Things are a little crazy the next few days, but I'll try to see if I can't y'all a choil shot before I go home for the holidays :lol:

Yeah, Michael sent me a bunch of photos of different knives that were available, and it was hard not to try to buy all of them ;) But I lucked out and got the one I really wanted, so I'm pretty happy :D Thanks for looking everyone!

Nothing fancy as the other knives here, but it's been on my radar for a while due to Brad Leone

Not in hand just yet, but I believe they're shipping out today
