Very nice Ike. I agree with John. Sheep’s foot knives always get my attention. Great knife by a great maker.

Thank you John, Roger, David, Lloyd, Ken, and James, I appreciate the comments.
John, I am pretty enamored with this knife but if I ever would decide to part with it, your name is at the top of the list. In the meantime, I got the knife from Roger.....maybe he has another stashed away???
