Sugar Plum came by shop today for a visit. She picked out her blade, handle material, pins, and even the leather for the neck carry sheath. It was great to meet such a fine young lady. We will show you the results of putting all this stuff together in a few days. These Rum Creek girls are awesome.

KNIFE PICS ADDED Leather is finished

I especially can't wait to see the handle! I thought I wanted desert ironwood until Travis started bringing out other chunks of gorgeous stuff.

Sorry I couldn't be there to meet Sugar Plum, but from the pics I can see ehe knows what she wants in a knife! I am sure she will like the finished product very much. Maybe I can meet her when she comes to pick it up. Those are going to be some good looking scales on a good looking knife. Post some finished pics soon!......Doug

Doug- I hope to meet you soon, as well. Travis spoke very highly of you! I have to give my wonderful husband credit for teaching me a thing or two about picking out pretty stuff. And Travis gets a great deal of credit for letting me into his sacred shop to pick it all out!!

Thanks y'all! I can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm really glad Travis brought out some other handle options.

Aw, thanks. This has been in the works for a while, but I just finally got around to visiting with him to pick the specifics out. It's hard to find time to myself with 3 kids and nursing school. He told me he had orders up in the double digits to get to as well, so I know it feels like you get bumped around.

Sugar Plum, we have to give Travis a hard time, not picking on him makes him forget we all love him! He is still "my buddy".

Sugar Plum, Just glad you are getting your knife. My wife really loves her Chef knife and sheath. I've got two on order and am gladly waiting my turn. Travis is good people and an excellent Craftsman.
