I finished this knife up last night and it has quickly become my new favorite. I like the style of the old western knives so that was the look I was going for but I added in some of my own style to the design. The overall length of the knife is 7 1/2" with the blade being 3 3/4". The handle is stag and I added the red spacers to dress it up a bit then put blood wood and maple spacers to separate the stag from the finger guard. I plan on taking this on my Fall bear hunt coming up and since I sold my turkey knife for this season, I think this knife will come along for the rest of turkey season. Thanks.

Very clean lines.......well done.
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Thanks Steve, I shot him with my Wild Horse Creek Mariah recurve. I've gotten lucky and had a really good season this year and been able to take 2 birds with my bow. I was pleased with how the knife performed on the turkey. It's not really a huge task to cut the breast off a turkey though. I have a group turkey hunt this weekend with a bunch of friends so it should get a workout. Hopefully it gets tested on a bear and several deer in the fall as well.
