38 nickel pins!!!
« on: December 20, 2008, 01:24:00 PM »
:D

Okay, so not 38 pins per say, more .38 special, pins.


I have a good friend serving in Iraq, who's managed to wangle Christmas leave, this year. I know he's been looking at my knives for a while, so I thought I'd make him up a prezzie to take back to the desert.

He's mentioned a time or two that he'd like a good, hard use knife. Not too military-looking, but something different. Well, this is what I came up with.
I know, I know; it's an edge-look, but I think I pulled it off OK (Apart from the two honking great cracks in the wood  :mad:   :mad:   :mad:  I'll strip & replace them tommorrow, I just wanted to show it!)

I've closed the belt loop with Manchester screws, rather than stitching it up, so if needs be he can unbolt it & attatch it to his webbing.

Different, ain't it!

Oh, the blade's 6-1/2" 01, convex scandi grind 3/16" stock. OAL is 11-1/2"

You're out of control.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
