Small...., but beautiful

Neat knives. I like that finger hook for eating--perhaps someone can make a few for campers to use?

Interesting parallels between the leopard society of Africa and the Kanaima "dark shamanism" practices of Guyana in South America. Obviously they didn't have metal claws, but the kanaima were in some ways "were-jaguars" who specialized in a pretty gruesome form of violent death (read the book Dark Shamans --I am not repeating it here, as it's way off topic).

This is making me wonder whether our stories of werewolves had a basis in similar practices in Celtic and early Medieval times...
