Kerry Hampton Knives

This is the second one of these LilPunkh kives I have made. It’s about 4” long, made of 3/32” A2 tool steel, acid etched (my fav), and wee clip pouch. I patterned it after a Saddlehorn folder frame with a semi-skinner blade. Also, first use of keystone shield.

Was that yes to pre-ban modern or to mammoth?

I’m sorry, that was “YES” to pre-ban modern. I just assumed it was obvious from the images. I used to camp out on BF or I would have responded sooner.

In other news, apparently I am in a BackPocket rut. This is the third in a row that I am currently working on and about to finish in the next day or so.

Thanks. I have seen inner mammoth that is completely white, hence my question. Most people associate mammoth with the bark, which is usually colored and has cracks, but a well preserved mammoth tusk has an inside that is creamy white.

BTW, nice stag on the BackPocket.

That’s a great rut to be in!
 
This latest one out of my shop is definitely the flush-e-est of flush joint BackPockets I have ever made. It’s also the chub-e-est due to the depth of the figure of the stag I chose to use on this 4” knife.

Tony’s 4” BackPocket pattern was literally the knife that was the foundation for the Case Millennium Trapper. I’m not sure it was ever meant to be a flush joint and I don’t know at this time if Tony ever built a 4” BP flush joint.

The steel is A2 and this knife is headed to Florida as I type this so I hope the new owner keeps this oiled…just sayin’ 😃

If the joint wasn't ever flush, it should have been.
Absolute stunner!
