Seems like every time I have a new hunting adventure, I need a new knife for the journey     Forged this up yesterday for the Campbell/Pinecone elk hunt.  Wanted something a little bigger & beefier as I hear elk tend to be a might larger than our local whitetails    If I'm lucky enough to get her some work & she preforms well enough, than I'll probably add some elk horn scales.  Hopefully I'll get to expose her to some Antelope next week in Wyoming too...Doc

5160 9" OAL with a 5" blade compared to my normal carry 7" AOL caper.  Both have 10" wheel shallow hollow grinds.

Whip, I was kinda thinking she'd skin out Your goat

Beautiful blades Doc!!

[kbaknife]

Both of them are fantastic.
You make sheaths for these type knives?
Got any pictures?

[tippit]

Karl, I hate makin' sheaths...but I when I do they usually simple, cross draw style, and form fitting plus some neck sheaths.  I also tend to make multiple knives to fit One Sheath

Doc, I know where you can get one sheath made    
Cool lookin blades. Ever since i saw one of your guards I've wondered about wet fitting leather to them to lock in a blade.
