I like it too!  A good stout utility knife with fancy handle material!

Thanks fellas.
I really like this design and have made one for myself so I have a nice knife to carry and show folks what I do.

I got tired of showing people a boring looking utility/tactical. it was a great knife, but had no wow factor for people who don't understand knives. So mine has stag on it  :D

I would like to use this design on an animal, but the critters have not been cooperative and hunting has been so bad for me this year that I gave up and just devoted time to being in the shop.

Hopefully next year I will get to bloody this design and report back on it.

The knife in the picture is #1 of a set  of 3, with the next 2 being the mid size version with a 6.5" blade, and my big chopper/camp model.

The set is going to an American who has property in South Africa, so there is a very good chance that we will see the knives in action on an African hunt. I can't wait to see that!!!
