Garry Keown Posted May 18, 2022 Author Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) Have got a new design done that will cover the small knife/EDC hunter needs that was mentioned on a hunt forum . It is the Chamois Hunter with 3 1/2 inch 1084 blade and this prototype has Rosewood handles over orange G10 spacers and brass bolster. I used orange G10 pins in the handle. with the chamois Hunter, a Bird and trout with camel bone handles on the NitroV ss blade, this makes the second pair for the youth hunt comp.
