these would not be confused with the real thing. Not with the handles anyway.

Nice Bravo I wish I had that skill. Bosnmate sent me some obsidian. I am scared I will mess it up.

I bet you could skin a deer with those or one of your wild hogs in a jiffy. :thumbsup:

Very, very nice indeed. Makes me wonder about reincarnation of a master craftsman from centuries ago...

Kind words indeed and I thank you. W.H. Patterson passed away in 1996, but his work remains for us to enjoy. He was indeed a master craftsman.

I always remembered a line from a long ago western..."The Guns Of Will Sonnet"

Walter Brennan in one episode......... "It ain't braggin' if it's true."
