New blade for my friend Paul Bunch (OPB) Knives

[pirate]

I already have 5 of Paul's knives and I had to have this "fighting knife" he showed me. Paul brought several knives to show when I got together this week at another friends farm to have some bro time with several good friends. Paul is one of the top bladesmith in NC IMO. His work and designs are superb.

Some others he recently finished he brought to show us.

Good eye.......I have dibs on that one too! He is making me a custom sheath for it with a design I came up with. It is really beautiful in person the photo does not do it justice. He sold it for $165 which is a real bargin considering the time and effort it takes to do the leather cutting and sanding for a stacked leather scale handle.

He also puts a super sharp edge on his finished blades, he is a master at getting a hair popping edge on his knives.

Paul is retired now and has a small one man shop at his home. You can look him up on Facebook search for OPB Knives, Paul Bunch.
