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)
