ADK - Show us some closer and more detailed picks of the Fork and the tiny little sharp finger on the bottom left.  By the way, those are some gems you have there.

yeah i know Ron, i'm slower then a election! the small necker is also an Ml knfe, it was made as a mate to the tiger maple handle long knife in the picture with the big bowie. the little necker is 5 1/2 oal, blade is 2 1/4 up swept with 2 steel pins. i wear it often, even while i work. the whole knife can be hidden behind you pointer finger and it is razor sharp! Matt also made the forged fork for me, he does not make them often unless asked but he does a great job. he bade a leather cover for it so it does not poke through my haversack.
