I have had some good friends after me for more than a year to get them a knife made that would fill a couple needs.
They wanted something light enough that would barely know they were carrying a knife.
It needed to assist them in their "rear entry" requirements on deer and moose sized game.
Since they are Canadian Moose hunters, as well as other trophy-type animals, it needed to be capable of caping and skinning around other trophy parts of capes they were bring home for mounting.
Having recently moved to Northern Minnesota, I've made a good friend of a fellow who spends part of his recreational time searching for Minnesota Moose sheds, and he was kind enough to sell one to me.
So, I came up with "Moose Lips".
Only about 7+ inches long, light and delicate.
This one is going to reside in Kansas.
Twist with Minnesota Moose antler:

I like it Karl. Good name for it as well
I like it too. I'd like to see the pins/screws a little closer.
Yup, headed to Kansas!! Rear entry?
Lin, those are heat colored stainless Torx screws 2-56.
I like it!

Yea I like it too, that moose antler is some dense stuff. Makes the best rock bopper there is.
Very nice Karl! I really like the unique color and texture the moose shed gives this piece. Now I want to get my hands on a moose shed. Thanks for sharing.

I like it. Kinda has a bird and trout look to it. While I recognize the usefulness of a large knife for certain situations, I've always thought a knife of around 7-9", 3.75-4.5" blade is a perfect size for most chores. Plus it can be carried all day long without noticing the weight.
Karl, I Really Like that Moose........ Thanks , Sutty
Karl, Is that a blade pattern that you showed me in Arkansas?
Nothing special about it, Lin
It's just a single twist - but the blade needed to be very thin, so it's drawn down and out some.
I like it Karl, very nice.
Yes sir! Very nice.
I had to wipe the drool off of my keyboard....
Maybe you should re-name that knife to
MOOSE DROOL !
Most-excellent work!
Shoot straight, Shinken
