The knife that I want to show you created for a good friend of mine who wanted to do a gift to his son, who is a safari leader in Africa, this knife will be used primarily for stubing and penetrate the carcas of the prey after shots, and secondarily for cuting duty, so after lot of thinkin i made this knife.

brass guard and pin, wild olive for the handle with bone inlay at pomel12cm long.
