I hope you guys are not getting tired of the weird unconventional stuff that I make but that's just me, I like unconventional. This is an early peasant's knife, mainly used for pruning, also know as a saca treapa used for gutting goats among other things. Polished antler handle, blade forged from an old saw blade. I thought it would make a good patch knife and I was right.,used it today and it will slice a patch of slicker than you know what. Thanks for letting me share. Dan
