Opps. Thanks, I forgot that. The American elk are migrating here now. So, I guess I have them on the brain. I found a trail where a small herd and then a straggler (maybe a bull) came through day before yesterday.
The knife looks very similar to a Scandinavian pattern. Almost no metal to keep the hand happy while you work in the cold. It is a shame about the point or is that an optical illusion? The hilt/sheath is antler?
I was originally scheduled to visit Kamchatka for work this year, but then the whole Ukraine thing. The best laid plans...often go awry.... Maybe in 10 years, when the dust settles, I will get a chance to put that childhood dream to rest. Hopefully I will still be able so ski and backpack then. Now I know where to go for knives!
