Hillbilly Fighter

[B . Buxton]

I finished this one up a few days ago and named it the hillbilly fighter, since I'm just an old ridge running hillbilly and figured it might be good for fightin' off possums and raccoons.

OAL 14 7/8", blade 9 3/4", W-2, damascus hardware with a mosaic damascus escutcheon. African Blackwood handle. Sheath is snake inlayed.

Thanks for lookin', and tell me what you think.

That there's a 'possum poker if I ever done seen one.

:thumbup: +1 VERY nice looking knife. I would think you could fend of pretty much any critter (2 legged variety even) with that bad boy!
