Title: First crossdraw (gift for friends son)
Post by: el oso on June 10, 2008, 12:10:00 AM
This is my first attempt at a crossdraw. It is ambidextrious (SP). The knife is 7" oal the blade is 3.5". The wood is Yellowheart and Cocobola.the lanyard liner is a 22 mag shell. I made it for a friends 17 Y.O. son. I have hunted and fished with this young man since he was about 9. He is the kind of kid you want your kids to grow up to be.                                                     (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/lsrbear/DSC00295.jpg)  (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/lsrbear/DSC00294.jpg)  (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/lsrbear/DSC00312.jpg)  (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii314/lsrbear/DSC00313.jpg)
