Title: A knife made for a specific hunt!
Post by: Frenchymanny on August 28, 2013, 01:03:00 PM
This knife was made for me by Nathan (Toecutter here)for my upcoming elk hunt.
Nathan knew I already have a big blade for big chores, so he made me this exquisite caper:

O1 steel, stainless pin, bone handle

Black liners under the bone:

Am I lucky or what?      :campfire:          :archer:    
 
Thank you Brother Nate

That's sweet!  Great profile and the bone handle has a very nice look too.

Waiting to see the bloody blade pics that hopefully will follow this thread. CANT WAIT for the stories and the pics   :readit:  

Anyone whos met Manny knows what a one of a kind, amazing friend he is, this was my honor to have him accept my knife to take on his first elk hunt. Hope it carried its mojo across international and state borders!  :pray:

Great knife and yes Manny is a rare dude. I wish I could hunt with him more often.
