    Wow! Nice.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hey Duncan @viper - I just used the wee "C" knife you made me in D2 to skin and bone out a back wheels of a yearling redskin (for @Kiwi-Hunter )- its going real good, and the edge is holding up just as you'd expect from D2. I'm pretty careful not to "touch bone" with any knife, but its inevitable if you're only an "occasional butcher" so to have it do a couple of sheep and the back end without a touch up is encouraging. The shape is also working out just as I expected and is a great general purpose small knife.

    @Tentman , that's great news , thanks for the feed back. Good to hear it's performing well and is getting a work out. They are made to use so it's nice to hear from owners .
    @ Niven emailed me today as well , seems the little Krait I made for his mate has been busy as well. Apparently a very lucky knife according to it's owner.

    Latest knife finished for a forum member. Viper model , composite handle featuring Aqua burlap micarta caps with Totara burl. Heavy grippy jimping, carbon pins and 12c27 stainless full tang.
    Last order and knife for the year, a big shout out and thank you to the forum members who I have had the pleasure of making knives for over the last couple of years.
    Your support has allowed me to get better and refine my work. Still early days yet with plenty to improve and refining to be done.
    I have had the privilege of meeting several of you through the knife making and it's been an awesome experience.

    everyone have a great Christmas, Viper
