^^^ That has Danbo written all over it. Might not be his, but I guarantee he wishes it was. Beautiful knife.

You are correct, Sir. I do wish it were mine. But, I have Russ making me something similar, and he's threatening to have it done pretty soon.

Damn, Fisk is tough to follow. This wasn't designed to be a hunter, but a hunter wants one as a hunter.
