Pop's Knife
Posted: Wed Oct 10, 2007 12:23 am
Here's one I made for my Pop, ca. 1988 or '89. It was a Christmas present.
AUS-8, 1/8" thick - 9" overall.
N.S. fittings, muledeer handle.
Funny story -
I had Pop's initials engraved on that butt, to personalize it. Soo, I didn't bother to wrap it, or put a tag on it, or anything - just put it under the tree, after everybody had gone to bed.
Next morning, we're unwrapping presents and they found this little knife - BUT, I had forgotten that my Pop and my brother have the same initials ! Well, the fight was on, and we all laughed at their "reasons" for owning the knife, until I had to tell 'em who it was meant for. (Had to make my little brother one, the next Xmas).
