Title: Here's a little cutie
Post by: Doug Campbell on December 03, 2013, 08:59:00 PM
A 3 3/4" slow twist blade and guard finished with a simple elk brow tine. Feels pretty good in the hand. She'll be headed to Alaska soon as I get the sheath done.
Thanks for looking.

That's a nice little knife. I bet it will serve the owner very well in Alaska.

I'm liking that one a lot. Good handle to hold onto and not so much blade that I get in trouble up inside a deer.

Thanks guys, the handle is actually 4 1/4", think the pic angle makes it look longer than it is...

Well hunting season is mostly over and it's well below zero outside so going to be spending more time in the shop now. That's a good thing, I'm ready to get back at it.

Best from MT!

Love that blade shape Doug. It looks very handy. One of those would look pretty fantastic with a piece stag on the other end.

oh I like that,  very simple, clean and the perfect size in my opinion for a little hunter/utility.
