Found a very nice knife I just couldn't resist.Damascus Hunter,3 7/8" blade with Oak bolsters and Mammoth Ivory handles,8 1/4" overall,neat Rattlesnake sheath.Beautiful knife made by a gentleman by the name of Frank Chikey.

I was hoping someone might own,or have seen some of his other work??I've been trying to find some more info on him but there doesn't seem to be much out there...........checked the Georgia Knifebuilders Guild,but he doesn't have a gallery.................

Good looking knife Mike. All you need now is to get some blood on it.

Probably be MY blood from fondling it too much.

Sweet knife! You going to use it or make it an investment/safe queen? I personally would have a hard time dragging that puppy thru the woods.

ALWAYS use a good blade. To do otherwise is "bad medicine." It's like having a bird dog you won't let hunt. I use all of my Randalls from time to time.

A VERY nice blade you have there!!!

I agree Gator - Use it for what it was made to do. To each their own though.
