How much?!

Glad you like simple tools.

With rare exception, the knives I post in this section are already sold. Thanks for your interest.

Any chance that you would replicate it again for interested customer?

Thanks for your interest, Scotty. Both of these are spoken for but the "Popcorn" is part of my model line.

Nice Knife..

Nice knife!

Thanks for taking the time to look and/or comment. I don't think you can pack more knife into 7.5" OAL.

That looks as handy as a pocket on a shirt. Good looking design!

I'm liking the blade and handle shape, looks to be very utilitarian. Good work

Thanks again. The handle/blade angle keeps things compact while feeling very good in the hand.

Great looking knife.

Love the one with the canvas micarta handle. I think I need one. Let me know how much.
Thanks

Really like the design/profile. Another great addition to your lineup.

Thanks - this one is already a very popular design.

Ordered mine today! Thanks Jeff

My pleasure, Nathan.

When's the bush monkey 'hawk coming out?

I will make a Hawk when I get ahead of the knife making power curve and get a larger heat treating oven. I have modified and worked on the Cold Steel Hawk (below). Until I make one, the new CRKT Hawk looks like a good Hawk at a great price.

thanks for asking,

Jeff

Awesome!

Great Tool!

I have a few of Popcorns in progress and will get some more pics up soon. Thanks for taking the time to look and/or comment.

Jeff

those are nice knives.

I love mine going to be getting more soon I'm sure.

Looking good.
Can't wait to get mine.

I also can't wait.

Nice knife

Those are awesome knives. I want to buy one of the Matt Helm designs. My Cold Steel collection is great and all, but it's time to move on.

Do you make a blade/knife that is used as a machete?

check out his website, lots of examples

he has some pretty large blades

Thanks for the lively tempo of this thread, taking the time to look and/or comment and your keen interest.

Custom 3/16 O1 tool steel Popcorn and 6" OAL Javelina before and after heat and oil quench.

Looking great

Finished this Black Canvas Micarta POPCORN today.

That looks great!

I really like the look of the popcorn Jeff, it looks like you hit it out of the park with that shape! Good job!

Thanks again for looking and/or commenting. Feedback is always appreciated. The POPCORN is based off a Matt Helm design. Matt is a friend who designs and makes very fine knives.

Jeff

ps I will be finishing up a 3/16" O1 tool steel stock version of the POPCORN sometime this coming week. Stay tuned...

looking great

What can I say Popcorn... Looking good as always Popcorn.

These left the bench yesterday.







Glad you like this one.

Jeff

Nice Knife!

I like the orange and green combo best! Really nice tough looking blades.

Nice pics!!

Awesome looking knives! Been looking at them for a while, getting ready to pull the trigger on a few. Wanting to buy my two teenagers new hunting/skinning knives (& one for me too). Still trying to decide which one, but I really like the looks of the Javelina. The Popcorn knife looks great also! I carry a big bag of knives that I use for different parts of the cleaning process (clean a lot of pigs) and for some reason my store bought SS blades are getting harder & harder to sharpen and don't hold an edge like they used to even after I reform the angles etc...I love carbon steel blades and to be honest I don't know why I switched to SS. The best skinning knife in my bag right now is a K-Bar. Wanting to try a Bush Monkey.

That green and orange popcorn knife is mine. Just got it today! I love it. Feels great in the hand! Nice weight.

Glad those of you who have received your Popcorn like it. This is the 3/16" O1 tool steel version heat treated blade that is ready for some bolts and scales.



I make the Popcorn with a straight or curved drop point and swedge (partially beveled) or no drop and swedge at all.

Thanks again for looking and/or commenting.

Jeff

Nice keep it up! My buddy I bought a Javelina for finally got around to using it at the end of deer season and said it was the perfect size for what he needed.

I picked up my POPCORN from Jeff yesterday (the one in the sheath pictured above) and I must say I am more than impressed. I look forward to getting another BushMonkey in the future. Also the kydex sheath is very well made.

Thank you, all. This is a POPCORN made from 3/16" O1 tool steel, C-TEK scales and stainless bolts and flared tube.

Man, that last one is bad @$$! I'm going to have to get me one of those!
And I like "Brazenly American"!

The C-TEK scales rock!

Thank you. I just ordered some more C-TEK ;-)

really like heavy blade skinning knives,must have one!

I make the POPCORN out of 5/32" and 3/16 O1 tool steel. The single bevel to zero leaves lots of steel behind - more than a flat ground and secondary beveled POPCORN made from 1/4" steel.

thanks for looking and commenting,

Jeff

ps The working edge angle is ~1/2 of what it would be if I flat ground and secondary beveled it.

Another awesome knife!!

Just ordered a pair of Popcorn's for my kids, mine will be next!

Those C-tek scales look awesome.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
