and yet another, this time a helle polar blade, with some antler off a texas whitetail that i arrowed with my longbow 2 years ago.





one more blade to handle, one more sheath to make.  

there are lotsa good ways to protect the stitching and i'll show one with the upcoming sheath.

Dang if that one don't leave slobbers on the keyboard.  :bl th up

I like the size/shape of a couple of those patch knives - they look satisfying to fashion.

It looks like I need to get busy, and catch up.......  ;)

Besides re-handling my Cold Steel Trailmaster Bowie this past Spring





 I put this medium pig-sticker together, using some more of the Ebony on hand, and a blade/guard from the Crazy Crow Trading Post ( Native American Craft Supplies - Beads, Leather, Feathers, Kits   )




And, I tried my hand at making an Arkansas Toothpick (also using Ebony)
