1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

Kevin, you might consider: www.ravenblades.com in Wasilla, Alaska. He is building me a custom Chainsaw Mounting system for my Big Husky on the Ski-Doo SWT.

Nice, the handle looks comfortable. I saw some cocobolo at woodcraft yesterday, thought about knife scales. Makes me itch to try making blades.

Yes it does CS. I need a knife that is almost indestructible. I'm getting to old to carry all the stuff I used to. So I'm starting to carry lighter more multi-purpose items. Thats where the bigger hard use knife comes in. I have a D2 RAT-3 for the lighter work.

This one is 9 in. long and the blade is 3/16" thick, I was doing my best on this one so I'd like to think it is ideal for most tasks! Good luck with your perfect knife.

Great minds must think alike!! Mine is similar to both of yours!! Mine is 10 1/4"x 1 1/2"x 3/16" see Poco bowie WIP thread. Actually Kevin it isn't all that hard. I would think you would be able to do it!
Thanks sjj!! You just gave me some ideas!!
What are you meaning by "knurling"? Are You talking about on the side of the blade or the spine? If possible I may even incorporate it on the "Bowie" I'm working on now. I mean possible for my skill level.
your knife does extra duty as a grappling hook, you are forgiven.
the handle on that one looks like turned steel, am i right?

I have a buck master out in the shed I think. I bought it about 20 years ago. The handle broke off about 19 years ago. Oh well.

I broke one hammering it through a gators spine. She sure didn't appreciate my choice of weapons to kill her with. It was sharp and cut the pipes on either side of the spine. But, I couldn't get between the vertebrae.

Well I think I must have instinctively done what you are talking about. I don't know why, but I just started putting small grooves across the spine where the thumb would rest, with a 3 corner file But fell short in what you are talking about with the pommel and longer handle.
