"KHalverson" suprised the heck outta me when he handed this gem over at Elm Hall this weekend. I never owned anything more than a $25 Gerber until this year. I now own three gorgeous handmade knives that friends have gifted me. I love them all and they all will get carried. Thanks for a gorgeous kinfe Kevin, your a good man no matter what Mike says. The scales are osage and the blade is a recycled file that Kevin heated up himself. Scarey sharp and super good looking knife. The sheath has a magnet inside that keeps that knife tighly stowed. Very cool.
