Jesse mad this blade the other week,he said it wasn't big enough for a knife ,but to me it is prefect.I mounted it in a deer leg bone,we save all of them each year,they make some pretty cool handles for knifes and tools. :) It is out of some of the rock Knothead brought down for the Classic.

Looks just fine to me pappy, plenty big to clean a deer.
-
Sweet knife Pappy. I've got a bone like that waiting to be a handle, just soon as I can knap a nice blade like that.
-
Very nice Pappy, I forsee the blood of many deer upon that blade .. good medacine knife brother..Hawk
-
Love it. Keep it up!

That would look pretty cool in a knife pocket on a back quiver. ;)
-
That would look pretty cool on a sheath on my belt. ;^)

Nice little knife, Pappy. Like you said, just the right size. I found a piece of deer leg bone that is 4 3/8" long in a pile of coyote scat :o...ouch! I'll bring it to the classic and get someone to make a blade for it. I wonder what kinda medicine can pass through a coyote's gut? ;) Pat

Gastrointestinal medicine Pat like Rolaids ! ;D.......bob

Prep-H ;) Pat

I am sure someone will knock you out one. :) I got a bucket full of them that I use for
everything. :)

Pappy: I hate to ask a question that's probably been covered several times in the past, but how do you clean and prepare the deer bones?
I've got eight legs still in my freezer and I'd like to start doing something with them rather than just taking up space. :(

I just clean off all the meat I can and put them up,for a year or 2 out side under cover,I keep
them every year so I usually have some that are ready,I guess you could boil them hard like we do
skull caps sometime. :)

Set erm on a fire ant mound and cover them with a milk crate and set a larg rock on the milk crate , give it 1 week. ;)

Nice knife Pappy! We all know that it don't take no Bowie to skin a deer ;D.
-
Thanks but jesse done the hard part,The bad thing is I left it to dry on my tool box in the work shop and went to get it yesterday and it wasn't there,may just be a brain F@*& and I put it somewhere else,I hope so. ??? Got to much on my mind right now. :) Never had anything
bothered before so hopefully it 's just me. :)

Look's like a good knife there.I use leg bones all the time too.Lighter than antler,makes a nice balanced piece. Frank

Pappy that is one thing that I did not worry about at your place I left my new knife that I traded for hickory on the tail gate and came back three of four hours later and there it was right where I left it. Thank goodness you found yours By the that knife came from Dana and with The arrowhead that Cowboy gave me are my two new most prized passesions.

Ronnie, you are right about not worrying about leaving anything out. I had bows and tools scattered everywhere.
-
Yep, me too. Had all my knapping stuff in the pit the whole weekend and easily rounded up all of it just before I left. Only thing I left behind were my two seats - the toilet seat and my brand spankin new metal fold out chair. Guess that'll be my donation to the pit ;D..
-
nice knife ;D!!!! Wish i could make 'em like those :(
-
Couldnt believe it myself! Left everything lying around. Tools, backpack and more stuff and it all stayed right were I left it. What a great bunch of people! So much to do there my head was spinning. Focused mostly on making bows this time but I will be working on more rock next year.
Wow, what a place Pappy!!!!

Beautiful knife, Pappy. You have made so many friends through your wonderful Classics, and we all want to show our appreciation to you. That is a great knife. I hope you will be able to zip it up the belly of a nice deer this fall.
