Made this one for a friend who is using it as a patch knife.  My wife did the carving on the crown.

Very Nice, looks like a handy little knife. Great carving on the antler as well!

Thanks KSCATTRAPR!

This has been a handy basic design.  I do a number of different handle treatments for this pattern.  They are small enough to wear as a neck knife, yet more than enough to field dress a deer.

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
