Title: New knife Pics
Post by: Mike Gerardi on June 28, 2009, 07:33:00 AM: Just wanted to show off my new knife. This knife was hand crafted by my Good friend Doug Campbell. Doug sent me some pics of this baby before heading out to GA. I gotta admitt that I was real happy he came home with it :goldtooth: . Handle is Oosik (how ever you spell it) and stainless. Just trying to decide if it will be a dispaly knife or will it go into the hunting pack. Some things are just to pretty to dirty up.

I have a Doug Campbell caper that I carry. It's not as pretty as yours but sure is functional.

My first issue with that statement is the "All" part of it... how many of Doug's knives do you have now Doc?
Second issue: display?!! My knife from Doug is a sweet damascus number with mammoth ivory... it's on my hip more often than not.

Just funnin' ya Doc ;)

That's a gorgeous knife!!
