The Grail...Not!
« on: September 06, 2007, 08:42:00 AM »
I previously posted looking for the Grail in Knives.  The search continues...but these two finished up well enough to do for this season.  That is at least the edges are sharp   :eek:  Doc

Steel shape on the bottom one is a 'bute.  Top handle is a good looker.

Iam with DarkeGreen, that top one looks like it would work up an elk just fine. Let me know if you ever want to get rid of it.

Cowboy VET...It's a goodly thing that some of us don't have such high standards as do you and Doug.

It helps keep usuns with lesser desires in CUTTERS   :clapper:    :clapper:

Looks like those two should happily cover all bases Doc!   :thumbsup:  

I really don't believe that there's a 'Perfect' knife, I reckon that you need at least 3 to cover all requirements; A small caper, a round bellied skinner & a heavy backed general purpose knife. That's certainly what I'm working towards anyway!

Like Rob says - no such thing as a perfect knife - but that's a good thing, otherwise you would only need one knife, and what fun would that be??
I like the top one!  :thumbsup:

Doc..
I picked up a great weathered caribou leg bone for you to use as a stabilized knife handle for your hunt when you do go 'bou hunting...it should make a sweet handle.

I will ship it out next week.
