Jim,

What make/model is that knife?  Is the blade replaceable?

I'm about to retire the knife I make in '04. It has dressed a BUNCH!! of deer and small game.

This one is currently my go-to knife and will be on my belt starting Sep on a wilderness canoe trip and on my belt for the rest of the hunting season - and next - until it gets replaced.
It was my first 'JS' stamped knife.

Here is mine. It's a cheater blade made from an Old Hickory butcher knife cut down. Scales are bloodwwod and purpleheart with mosaic pins and a lanyard tube. Blade is cold blued.

AZ,that is a Havalon Piranta.It takes a #60 scalpel blade.It isn't the kind of knife that you pry with but it was designed for skinning.I recently skinned and quartered a 7' black bear in the field,after dark with it and used 4 blades.This includes severing the head and paws.

I have heard of people caping and dismantling elk with them using only 3 blades.Blades are 29 cents each.I've cut up smaller bears with 2 blades.I really like the orange handle.

Course it's a Campbell blade   ;)   although I've been known to carry Steflik's, Tippit's, Roughcountry's, Anderson's, Rhea's, ....   ;)  

Been using this little jewel for a couple years now, Damascus guard and blade with some sweet Desert Bighorn from Nevada.

I'll be carrying these two made for me by Clarence (Skullworks). Xcut Black/White Ebony. These are my first customs, and first Damascas. They are beautiful, and exacty what I wanted.

I'm taking this bowhunting this year to use for whacking brush:

And I still use the first crappy little knife I ever made because it fits perfectly in my quiver and is sharp as all get out...

 (http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj61/The_Roushs/DSC01000.jpg)

sure is ugly though.

Scott the knife in the first pic is incredible. If I post a pic and it looks like I am trying to copy your work - it is because I am  :p

no problem!  But I want to see you get a deeper, wider finger guard than I did. Still need to work on that...

Falcon.... love that blade.
