Great little knife Matt, Love it

 

[Matthew Gregory]

Thanks, everyone. Finally got around do doing the final touches on this, including sharpening. The steel allowed for a nice, fine edge. Interested to see how it performs on deer. With any luck, I’ll know next week!

 

[Stump Buster]

Beauty Blade.... Good Luck Matt!

Sweet little hunter Matt - I'll look forward to the performance report.

 

[Matthew Gregory]

Will do, my friend. Ain’t quite like deer camp, but I try to make do.

Man do I miss those times!

...well, the performance update is in!

The new Crucible stainless alloy has drawn first blood. Healthy young eight point fell to my shot, and the little blade made quick work of field dressing and skinning. Think this is a keeper!

Man do I miss those times!

Showed Dan and Obby this photo, bud - Dan said that Duke-a-Rook-a-Ree, "the dog that chukar called The White Devil, is off to the Happy Hunting Grounds".

 

[RogerP]

Glad it performed well my friend - never in doubt. Sorry to hear about Duke - Emily will be gutted.

Beautiful knife, and congrats on the buck!
Do you have any more pics of the knife? Curious to see and ogle at more.

Gorgeous little knife. That Vermont maple is beautiful too. The facets on the handle Bellisimo!

Thank you! Haven’t been out again to get a chance to use it, but if I do, I’ll try to get a shot or two.
