It's a Keeper

In a post a week or so ago I showed a knife that Charlie made out of our last piece of BG-42. Well this is the knife I made for myself out of the other half of the BG-42. This chance doesn't come along very often and I wanted a knife with a blade shape that would serve well as a utility knife for both hunting and fishing.
It has a 6 inch flat ground blade, nickel silver guard, butt cap and spacers with a stag handle.

Real good looking knife . From the pic it looks to have a little false edge clip I think it really adds to it

BG42 is one awesome steel on paper. I'd love to have a knife made from that stuff one day. This knife would be just fine! Just kidding. I hope you follow up after a couple months of use.

Pure, functional class. That's one very nice knife.

Hi Harry,

Very nice hunter. Would like to see stainless fittings...but that is just personal choice.

Looks great.

Top notch. Looks like it would work well a wide variety of chores.

Hey, Harry, what'll you take for that knife?

Thanks for the comments guys. This was a hard one to make. Not because the knife was difficult, but deciding what I wanted in a knife. I have always liked a hunting knife that is a little longer than the normal 3.5 to 4 inches and stag was a natural although a piece of ivory we have gave it some competition. It's a little early to start talking about selling it, but I have said in the past that of all I have only my wife, my three boys and the dog aren't for sale. Well after last night the dog is up for grabs too.
