    No kidding. I've been wanting a Tinker dirk for a loooong time. I'd also like a Kirby spool-handled dirk.

    [QUOTE=Angus]DROOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!

    I wanted a baskethilt that would fit my hand. So I sent Erik a measurement. Gus' blades are awesome, I've owned three,
    And Irish Bastard, English Bastard and this one. Unfortunately I
    sold the other two Bastards to get this baskethilt
    Anyway, here is the result of a baskethilt custom made, fits like a glove.
    And believe me I saved my nickles and dimes-literally for several years.
    I'm not a rich man!

    That's a pretty piece.

    I've been lusting after a custom "beak-nosed ribbon-hilt" from Kirby for a while.

    I didnt see a review from you on Sword forum about this one, but I see you like it. It really does look like it fits like a glove. I totally understand about the rolling nickles and dimes thing.......I aint rich niether...
