This one made by Lin Rhea accompanied me on a Texas hog hunt with Curtis and Lin this past spring.  Hopefully it will see more action around the campsite this fall.

Mr LaClair,

What an elegant way of carrying your "dressed" knife!
Like Lin I'd need a rig like that, but for the "right" side  ;)

Ken, I've had it so long I can't remember the guys name that made it...   :confused:

Here are mine


The top was a gift when I was about ten years old and used on my first deer. The middle one I made in high school and used on my first trad deer.The bottom was my grandfarther now I carry it every day.

Just sent off a Japanese style workin' blade (10" AOL 5160) to a bowyer who did me a huge favor.  I never tried one of these or even held one...so I just tried to copy a picture.  It has some pretty good heft and will cut through water bottles & branches with ease.  Hopefully it will slice up some Arizona Elk...tippit

Mine are all off the shelf stuff, gets the job done but has no soul.  I have sent out a couple PM's to builders but no replies.  Guess I am destined to carry stainless   :banghead:

Mark,

Would a carbon steel folder do the trick?

Lookingforlunkers,

you sent requests out to the wrong builders, apparently.   :bigsmyl:
