The story behind this little guy.
Our friend James Haney asked if I could make a small knife for caping out yote hides.
I came up with an idea and sent the picture.
He then told me what he wanted changed and I sent another picture.
He liked it and I made him one.
There was a minor design flaw so I made another one.
Now the first design really cought my eye and I kept the handle design and I made it a small drop point.
Thanks James, you broadened my horizon. ;)

Oh, and the handle material is Buckeye Burl stained with blue cactus juice and stabilized.
I got this from a guy I met at the Kalamazoo trad archery show.

Looks great Dale! You have watch how things identify themselves these days. Blue isn't always Blue?

What was the blade and overall length on that one?

You do some mighty fine work Graps.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
