Ryan, glad you put the knife to good use.

To give credit where credit is due, that knife is the work of our own Charles Sinclair (Snakewood).  

As he described it:
Black Bear phalanx bone. Blade hafted with titanium filled epoxy. Wrapped with nickel silver wire then overwrapped with rawhide. Blade is American made 1075 and 15n20. Sheath has 2 extra strong disc magnets, 2 copper rivets. Stitched with nickel silver wire. Diamondback rattler skin on one side. Triple braided neck thong.

Awesome bear!

Congrats Ryan!! What a sweet bear!

Great story and a great bear, Ryan.  And that is a beautiful knife.
