We'll I could see how the Winston could work. But I am lost on that one. But you know there had to be a market or these guys would not have wasted their time. I guess.
The quality of the work looks pretty dang good.

This maker actually calls it a squirrel knife. You put the squirrel's leg in the notch, break the bone, then cut through the break instead of using the cutting edge to go through the bone.

Yep, and it works like a charm.
Could I get by without it...? Yep. Is it kinda cool to have anyway...? Yep.

Might be handy for cutting fishing line;) but it's not for me.
It is well executed and a nice knife though. To each his own.

That is actually really cool. I've been skinning tree rats for over 50 years and never gave anything like that a thought. I guess I just don't have a creative mind

The last eleven of a 50 knife order. Am very glad to finally be done. Delivering these puppies tomorrow. Then I can come home and get back to work. Bad enough to have to lean new stuff at my age but to learn it and then have to learn it again sucks

Damn David, think I'd go stir crazy if I had to make 50 of the same pattern one right after the other. They look great as always pard.

Thanks. I have been most of the day getting a couple of pictures and then figuring how to get them posted. My photo host and the Campfire keep logging me off. Don't know if it is them or my computer. These knives are for the "Catch A Dream Foundation". A nice group of people that are doing good things for kids. If anyone is interested you can see what they are doing here: www.catchadream.orgTheir mission is to provide hunting and fishing trips for children who have life threatening illness. A once in a lifetime for a chance to get out and enjoy something for a few days besides something connected to a hospital. I am glad to have been given a chance to be affiliated with this group. Not here to raise funds but they can use donations, no matter how small.
