Very nice work.
Full horizontal crossdraw sheath?
Looks very similar to my Ramos custom.
yep its a full horizontal. A good friend of mine is a game keeper (British version of a PH) and I remember him saying how annoying he finds a vertical carry sheath. Not only that but if you end up upside down for some odd reason you got your knife handy.
 
@mdwest regarding a forge... can’t it double as a pizza oven? Now it sounds like a gift to the family!

I enjoy reading this thread and looking at what you Gents can make.

One of the @Von Gruff knives I got and gifted in February was used last weekend by its owner: a 14 year old boy processing his first archery deer. Beautiful knife!

Very Nice, hope we can meet again at another AH dinner when things go back to normal.

I cheated and would purchase ground blanks from a guy in Idaho Falls. I built them for my kids. The sheaths were premade and I would soak fit in beeswax and a saddle conditioner. Someday I’ll work up to the complete but I enjoyed it and my kids prize theirs.

The few scandi edge knives that I have used seemed to want to cut in a circle, which I presumed was the direction of the edge. but maybe it was just me.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
