Nice shots, Mist. It looks great.

Thanks man, it's a blustery rainy day here so the lighting wasn't so great, these pics don't do the knife justice. This weekend there is supposed to be better weather so some better shots then

Thanks man, I think so too. I fell in love with the box elder version you sharked and really wanted something similar. What is the steel thickness and tang configuration on that one?

Mine is 1/8" Tapered SUPER thin and ~85% grind. It is so perfect and so pointy, it almost makes me nervous! LOL

MVM.... If you have not noticed, I put an WASP in my avatar! The best picture of one I could find was yours, to Eric Cartman is holding YOUR WASP!

Keep an eye out, he's gonna have new knives soon!

Yep, same here but with a slightly higher grind. Very light, very pointy, and very sharp!

It's funny how a knife can be so different... these two knives are so very different from the typical Shank!

This one puts me in mind of my Gaelic ancestors. Makes me want to make shepherd's pie

Mrs. Mistwalker: "What are you wearing under that kilt?"

Mr. Mistwalker: "Me shoes, me socks and me shank."

To me, unless you are skinning and processing large game, there is just nothing to not love about Andy's Kephart model. I will eventually have a tapered 5/32 model, or maybe even tapered 1/8!

I've skinned a squirrel with the Hiking Buddy and it performed better than I thought for having little to no belly.

Eh, small game and fowl are pretty simple, I can clean those with my shank with no issues, it's larger game like deer where the deeper belly really comes in handy. I'm more into small game and fowl anyway, so I am perfectly ok with pointy

Besides, if I'm hungry enough, I could manage a deer with MVM's wasp if I needed too

I have a tapered 1/8 Kephart in Black Micarta and love it. It does everything well!
