I had a little scrap of damascus and a very small whitetail horn and this what I came up with. :D

This may be the only friction-folding, primitive scalpel in existence! Ha-ha!!;)

Thank you guys. It's good to do something like this for a break.

Uhhh, I don't think they had autoclaves in the days of the rendezvous. Probably a quick wipe on the cleanest rag available or if you were lucky, it would've gotten dipped in corn liquor. :D ;)

You sure that crown didn't come from a jackalope? This has just reminded me of something while I was over in Nam. I'm not sure why but for a month I was put in charge of security for a daily mine sweeping detail. One morning shortly after we started one of the other fellows under me had head a noise in a bush next to the road and fired a shot into it and pulled out this miniture deer, a little bigger than a rabbit. I'm guessing it was a doe because it had no rack but none the less I'm thinking if it had a rack it would be simular in size to what you used for you scalpel. I had never even thought there were deer this size and was really shocked to see something so small. It had nothing to do with the Bong Song Bomber we had just lit up.....
 
No it really is a whitetail antler. A friend of mine used to have a meat processing business and processed just about all the meat for the deer hunters around here. He retired and had a big box full of racks that people either forgot or didn't want. So I ended up with them. You know, you can't tell about how "BIG" your deer was if you have a rack like this laying around. :D ;)

If your referring to those 1/2 ounce thingies they sold at the vil, we called them B52's.:D

Yeah that must have been fun to do :)..., I love those little friction guys.., they are cool...thanks for the pictures...
 
Steve, Your lucky to be alive. "68" was not a good year to be there. I arrived in "69", I was in the 4th Inf... Spent most my time lost in the Central Highlands. I went over OJT for 81 mm mortars. Never seen one before I got there. Chu Lia, that was one nasty place.... Welcome back....
 
I was 11-C when I got there. I was gunner on the 81 for about six months, assigned to a line company. Then graduated to four-duece squad leader for the rest of the time. Yes '68 was a very bad year and I'm not talking about the bannana wine. :D
