Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades 1948 Sager chemical double bit...

I love the looks of those Dwayne. Is there a purpose to the hooks under the blades?

BillyGoatGruff;
Good evening to you my cyber friend, I hope the weekend was a good one for you all and this finds you well.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it and freely admit that there really is no purpose for the hooks.

Although when I showed them last time and was asked, I'd promised to try a ferro rod with them to see if it'd work, but so far I've not done that.

When I started doing them a few years back, one of the fellows wanted a bit more of a hook than I'd put on the 2nd one from the right in the 3rd photo - which was one of the first ones I'd done.

Then the next one got a bit wilder and I sorta liked the look and I kept on fooling with it until the top one which is the last one I've done up.

So far I've used the top one to get a couple small trees that had fallen into the road out of the way and on a little 2 point whitetail's ribcage as well. I would say it works quite well for something so light and compact.

Thanks again and all the best to you this fall.

Dwayne
