Post by: oldpaths on January 27, 2011, 09:45:00 PM

Howdy fellars,I ve hade this blade laying around in my shop for awhile now and finally got a chance to put some scales on it,anyhow I seen some pics of some really old knives and this is my rendition of one of them oldtimey buffalo skinners with buffalo horn handles and a little file work.We are going to kill a couple hogs this weekend and I'm going to break it in on em.I finished the sheath tonight but didn't get to take pics yet.
