Let me start by saying that there has been some very nice knives posted as of late! I also wanted to say what a great place this sub forum is and I will give a few examples. A while back Charlie (Waynorth) posted a few pictures of a Remington Muskrat that he tried to bend, straighten out one of the blades and ended up with a two piece blade
. Being the gentleman that he is, he ended up sending me the knife for pattern use. I have really been interested in pushing my limits and building multi-blade patterns that have that difficulty factor. This knife sure fit that bill! I had started the knife before going on a very event filled 2 week road trip with my wife Nettie. On the way we stopped in and spent a day and half with Elliott and Tina. They showed us a really nice time and are fantastic hosts! (Thanks Elliott and Tina). After returning back I got back in the shop and finished the "rat" Hope you enjoy the pictures and thanks to everyone for making this place special. Let me also say this knife is NOT available.

My Jigged bone scales, dark brown

No half stops as was on the Remington
