Stag and birch bark

[G L Drew]

Yup, birch bark. I grew up in Northern Minnesota and the Scandanavian fishermen there used stacked birch bark on the handles of thier knives to prevent slipping. It also gives a nice warm feel to the handle.

Really a very attractive combination. The birchbark looks like stacked leather and combines well with the stag crown. I like it a lot.

You're killin' me. I wait for you to post another bowie, then you do this. I like the birchbark and crown combo. Not to mention a sweet lookin' blade.....
