OK, its time for everyone to point and laugh derisively. What's a patch knife?

Some googling suggests that it involves having antler or horn for the handle, but that doesn't explain the name to me.

Thanks for asking! :thumbup:

I couldn't figure it out at all... I was expecting to see the W&SS patches put on a knife sheath or something.

I think it looks great.

A note about spongy bone. It will collect water, blood, etc, and grow bacteria like hell. Seal it, cut it out and replace with epoxy, or use a bolster if you're going to use the knife on food.

Good point Fid.... I sealed the antler with several coats of superglue and the epoxy helps keep the funky stuff out...
