Sometimes there is a story that goes with a knife. Todd shared this story with me after my purchase. I found it amusing so I thought I would share it with everyone.

Apparently quality American bison horn is hard to get. It is obtained as a by product from the slaughter house and is usually broken, cracked or damaged. Todd was looking for a quality source when he had noticed a herd of Buffalo near his hometown in Kansas. The field containing the herd had an oil well, so he approached the well operator about getting some horn material. The man told him he could not help him with the herd but that there was an old skull in the middle of the field, and it was his for the taking if he could get it. Now I guess buffalo are pretty mean and territorial. Well, Todd was not going pass up this opportunity, so he climbed the 8 foot high steel fence and proceeded into the field. He was able to grab the skull and turn back before the herd took notice. The next thing he knows he is racing for the fence with herd bearing down on him. As Todd describes it, he was just getting over the top when the buffalo came crashing into the fence after him. Meanwhile, the pump operator was watching the whole event and laughing his A$$ off.

Todd, you are truely dedicated to knifemaking and this one sure is beautiful. Knowing the story behind this knife makes it all that more special. Thanks again!
