Not too long ago I discovered a package by my front door....

Of course, I quickly snatched up the package, eagerly read the return address, and noted that it had just arrived from Wisconsin...it even had a faint, cheese-like aroma to it....

       


Ahhhhhhhh, at last it was time to unveil the contents....

Come on, man. Don't tease us like that.

I'm awaiting a package from him, too.

The "Piece de resistance"....

Of course, there is more to this story.  I worked a trade with Sticshooter for a new knife specifically for elk hunting AND one that would match a new bow that I had on order (a story for another time as this bow is the first new bow I have ordered since 1991.) that was to be all black in color.

Sticshooter said he had the right match - some ebony scales - to match with the bow that should be arriving shortly....

However, I was particularly delighted, when I opened the package because of what I discovered inside.....

So there "you" are!  Mr. Green responded to me, when I specifically inquired, saying that this topic could reside in the POWWOW forum, but I see that others disagree.....

So be it!

Welcome to the HUNTING KNIVES AND CRAFTERS Forum!

   


What I discovered is that good things come in small packages....

So the surprise was that I had received not one knife, but a pair of knives from the Sticshooter!

What a BLESSING!

More to come...after work....

Lets see the blades already!!!    :D  

     

Very nice Frank!

Thanks guys. Glad ya like bro.<><

Hi Jacob - did you ever catch any fish on those trout flies I traded you?  You shall see steel shortly....

Greetings MAP - the sword that I am named after has another spelling - BIBLE - but the sword that your wanting to gaze on is the one that I am saving to buy when I reach Yondan....

:~)

AND Frank!  Thank you again for the trade, for the great work that you created, and for what I am about to reveal to all those that want to check it out!

God bless, David Camp

Here is a closer view of the drop point hunter....

Here is a closer view of the caper....

Frank did excellent work building both of these knives.  They fit my hand like a glove!

This photo provides some perspective on size....

Until I get these blades bloody OR I get a photo of my new bow to post this is....

THE END

As a matter of fact, YES!!  I am glad you reminded me of that trade, as I was just admiring the box a few days ago.

Nice Knives for sure, hope they serve you well!
