This Imperial, at 3 1/4" closed, won't be much of a hunting / fishing knife...but she was thrilled with it! It was missing both scales and main blade tipped. I replaced with blue camel bone and reprofiled the tip. Although it still has it's shortcomings...It came out a bit better than my last attempt with blue camel bone

An Imperial
Just gave one of my prior assistants, this one. Kasey, is a real huntn' and fish' girl. I used to tell my patients that I could never get any big bucks, because their migration pattern took them through Kasey's territory first.
