hey dasman, I havenet shipped the one from yesterday yet, so I'll rip open the box and put this one in with it, you can knock off $5 for the payment on this one to combine shipping for the both.

Do you have alot of turkeys to work up?

I do still have the first one I posted, same as this one only no red spacer left, if you want to combine shipping on 3?
 
I'll pass for now. Great value. Giving them to my huntin' buddies. Well, except for one! Payment already made. Lets put it toward our next transaction!
 
Joe, the darker handle on this one is very nice. Gives it a classy look. My 2 have light colored wood. Maybe some Tom Turkey blood will darken them up !

is this still for sale if so i will take it(sorry ,i thought it was still up for grabs,,,nevermind my post)
 
Kalama, PM sent. I have the one on page 3 left, and have 3 more on my bench should be done soon. if the one on page 3 doesnt work for you, i can put whatever I have in stock that you like on for a handle on one of the ones Im finishing.

Roland, nothing but good can happen to a well taken care of blade by getting some tom turkey blood on it! Start a nice patina, maybe a memory scratch or two, possibly darken the handle a bit. Makes it yours!
 
Joe, one of them is already 'mine' as i cut myself while wiping it down with lack of due attention. However sharp blades cause very little tissue damage and the cut heals quickly.

Joe, I received my turkey knife a couple of days ago. Truly nice work. I planned on giving this one to my son for his birthday but I keep looking at it and telling myself its mine. I think I need another one. Please let me know when you have a few more in the works. Thanks again for the fine craftsmanship.
