I've been a member of a men's Bible study for several years. We talk about Jesus, hunting, fishing and of course knives from time to time. Anyway when Gary came to the meeting last week he had with him half a very large elk rack which he gave to me. Right off the bat I counted 6 or 7 handles from the tines alone. At the time I was working on a blade and having a hard time getting the guard to fit up properly so I decided to stop before I screwed things up. This blade was going to be Victoria's Secret. Long story short after I finished up Brand X I picked up this blade and brought it over to the elk rack and found a perfect match. I'll be giving Gary his new knife tonight. The blade 6 3/4" forged out of 1065 with an overall 11". The fittings are all from an iron buggy wheel.
