Title: L'il Caper
Post by: Ray Hammond on April 08, 2010, 09:11:00 PM: Well, in between a full time job, a family, being a hog and turkey hunt outfitter, and having a tiny amount of time to make knives- I've completed one for a very patient TG'er who asked for something DIFFERENT for a change-a 3 finger, very functional damascus caper knife.

The handle material is unbelievably beautiful curly burly maple that was stabilized and dyed a chocolate color- my cruddy photography doesn't let you see how beautiful the handle is..

With knives like Lin's, Karl's, Brad, Doug, Rooster and others, I am a little embarrassed about my meager offering but here she is.
