Stunning knife/ sheath combo. Very nice shape on that blade.

And 'opening up'  treatment at home with another of RT`s knives. Mulga wood handle/scales.

 

 

 

Good to see its still in use. That was a very early one I made. My ambition was well ahead of my very basic skills back then. That knife is a bit like me - ugly but functional.

I used the red gum handled  sheep skinner on the recent stag today RT. 

As you can see the effects of the 7mm RM under the ear butt had an explosive effect and of course an instantaneous death.  Below is  how the antlers came out after the skin was removed. Maybe you can use them as scales. I hit them with the hose and will saw off later.

Thanks mate. Yes, I should be able to do something with them.  Definitely would have been a quick lights out for the stag. 👍
