A Nest of Copperheads
A place for all Copperheads, large & small. All brands of Copperheads welcome.
This one showed up in my mailbox today. Since like ~Q~ I'm kinda hooked on Wharncliffe Blades, I had to have this one. The full size are 3-7/8" closed.

Re: The Copperhead Nest
I believe you have a treasure trove, Jerry. My father did leave me this 2003 Case Copperlock with persimmon bone. I took this shot a couple of years ago when persimmons were ripe.

Very, very nice. I love the color and jigging on that bone.

It really isn’t so hard to get close to them.

Re: A Nest of Copperheads
A lot of good looking Copperheads Guys.
And Geo, your picture of the real thing almost had me pull my pistol. I've had several run-ins with both Copperheads and Cottonmouths. Especially when Frog Gigging or Hunting Kane Breaks down in the marshes. I never met a Copperhead or Cottonmouth I didn't like........to shoot!
