Rob it's much better to have your scalp lifted rather than the alternative even if you don't think it collectable.
I have never heard of any ndns doing one of the things the yonegi did which was collecting the scrotum from ndn men and the breast from ndn women and making tobacco pouches from them.
But then I wouldn't want a piece of someone's anatomy like this to hold and keep my tobacco in.
Howard the CS knives are wonderful kitchen knives among other uses!!!
What sort of puzzles me is the current common belief that all survival knives have to be thick and heavy when in reality when the West was under exploration and settlement knives such as the CS blades were the most common of the day.
People who used these knives used them as a knife should be used and didn't over torque them.
Another little bit of trivia is that when these knives were purchased they came with no edge at all.
That was so because the end user put on the kind of edge they wanted and some were for specfic purposes.
Many of the old knives were sharpened on one edge only for specific purposes such as taking the final membrane off the inside of skins, but many people think this is a new innovation in the world the knife.
