Sponsors are encouraged to do one post a month to highlight their products.  I do less than that.  This one is finished and is available in the Sponsors Classifieds or on my website if you are interested:

Bear season opens in 2 weeks and it is unlikely that I'll get another finished before season opens up.  Historically, I close down the knife shop each fall until the new year to pursue hunting opportunities and make pricing adjustments at some point during that closure.

9", hand rubbed 1000-grit finish, federally embargoed Sambar stag handle, silver fittings, this one is nice and I don't do very many bigger blades at all...

That's perdy

Thanks Dale. It was fun to make. I planned to keep it for a hunt that fell through and I’ve been on the fence about selling it or not but I can’t keep them all. Perhaps someone will want it and get some joy from it.

Thanks Jim.  It was fun to work through.  It is my first subhilt but won't be my last

Looks like a nice horticultural tool

Seriously, I have never had the urge to ask one out on a date, but that knife deserves a special “life” out! My goodness, what a beautiful piece of glowing metal!

Thanks. You can give it a home if you please.

Bows are good too. 

I think I am likely done buying bows for a really long time, possibly forever unless I buy for family.  I have a one piece and two piece grail bow for me at the same draw weight that share a large stash of arrows.  They meet all of my needs for now and have for a number of years.  I can't even remember the last time I looked at the bows section of the classifieds.  It's been years.
