Long Time Coming. First and Sentimental Fighter.

[just-a-hunter]

Back in 2007, when I was single and bill-less, I was able to travel to Africa to hunt. This knife is one I finally built out of critter parts I harvested.

Critique is ALWAYS welcome.

It is a USA made rasp fighter with self harvested impala horn and the sheath is lined with my cape buffalo leather. It has Walrus tusk and satin 440c Stainless furniture.

Still working on my photoshop images..

Thanks for looking,

Todd

That's a nice use of materials.

I'm a big fan of the look of file/rasp knives, but have never used one. I wonder how much gunk would get down in the rasp holes if you skinned another critter!

 

[just-a-hunter]

They do fill up with a little gunk for sure. I keep carbon blades seasoned with ballistol. I usually coat the steel with tallow after skinning until I get home then a tooth brush with hot soapy water takes care if it nicely. Then back to a coat of ballistol. They take a bit of maintaining for sure to keep the patina even.

Thanks fellas!
