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

Very cool.
I would be nervous with it though. Had a Boy Scout folding pocket knife close on my finger as a kid. Nervous about folding knives ever since. One held open just by friction,,,, ummmm 😒

That looks like it would do an exceptional job of destroying fingers.
 
Very Nice Work --- I just purchased one like that from "Old Bear" which are made in Italy for about $25 - they are cool looking knives. I added it to my collection along with a mushroom knife which is also a cool folding knife.
