One for a friend, (young man)

Bigriver · March 30, 2013, 10:51:00 AM

Here is one I made for a young friend in Colorado, Owen. He sent some horn he found and his old man (hornhunter) gave me some elk antler. They came together ok I think.
Thanks again to Dave Ricke for the help.

Very nice as always. Ran into these antlers at John McDonalds a few days ago that I understand came from you. Were they the ones in
question?

How is that for a bow trade?

Very nice! I'm kinda partial to smaller knives. I get to use them more cause I never kill anything when I go hunting!

Beautiful knife, I think I can feel some Ricke influence there.

Going up to Dave Ricke's @ 10am Wednesday to shape the handle on the new takedown recurve he made for me. Stop in at the shop Brian.

That looks like a worthy knife for a beautiful set of antlers. I bet it makes more than one though. :D

Bigriver · April 03, 2013, 08:04:00 PM

Thanks for the kind words about the knife.

Just for clarification, the horns were traded to John McDonald(Bigriver Bows) for a bow. The horntraders(Hornhunter aka Scott George) son sent me some sheep horn he found & I made him the knife cause I like him.

He is a great kid & one hell of a hunter already.

My knives are certainly not worthy of a set of antlers like that (or any others for that matter)

Brian, I love the knife. It looks like a perfect size and shape for deer hunting. Nice Job,

I love Johns expression looking at the elk antler.

Very nice job on the knife Brian, I bet it will get many years of use and will become a prize possession. Still would like to meet you some day
I saw the elk at Johns, Good Trade. He is proud of the elk, you made him very happy.
