Very cool!

Thanks, I appreciate it and hope you find some time to make a few more knives. If not, that's life, but I'm glad you'll add me to the list.

I used to hunt with a bow back in the 80's but got sick and tired of seeing the animal I wanted out of range so I went back to rifle. I've been giving some thought to buying another bow though because at the moment where I live, you can buy a general archery tag for moose and elk. There's talk they'll be going to a draw system like they do for rifle and if they do, it won't be worth it for me. I already draw for moose and elk where I hunt which is about 360 miles west of where I'm living.

Typically I come back from that trip with my general whitetail tag intact and I can always get two supplemental "antlerless whitetail" tags for around home too so I hunt through the rest of November locally on the weekends.

I've heard from a few people that those Damascus blades can really hold an edge and I've been dying to get my hands on one and find out!
