Something special about Sheephorn and your steel makes it all the more pleasing!

That all came together quite nicely.
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.

Chris Montgomery (akaboomer) and I made a quick trip to Louisville to be at the Knife Maker's Guild show and picked up a few things and this set of sheep horn scales is one of them. Thanks

Really nice Lin. Sheep scales are a great contrast to fine lines.
Also nice to see something beside a tree that's older than me (magazine)

Thanks guys. This knife will probably end up being a user by someone. It should serve the purpose.

Good to know it'll be used.  Always depresses me to see a good knife get "collected".

No doubt that knife needs to see blood.
