Thread: Show me your knives

I got this knife from the estate of a great friend from Germany who died in tragic circumstances 9 years ago.
None of the family were hunters and all his considerable collection of hunting gear got sold off.
Only two items went to close friends of his and I was one of the lucky ones.

Its fairly big compared to what Im used to.
Damascus steel with PEG burl walnut handle.
Absolutely no makers marks on the knife. Which is a little unusual as he was a collector of fine things.
Its exceptionally well finished in ever way.

I have it on my office desk always and its one of my most treasured possessions.
Even named my dog after him, even though shes a bitch. Josie instead of Jesef.

Anyway I took the knife with me for a hunt this afternoon on one of the first reasonable days in ages and shot the young red yearling stag.
A joy to have it out in the field and use it for its intended purpose finally.
Pretty sure it was only ever a collectors piece and would have never been blooded.
Its cleaned and oiled and back on my desk where it belongs now.
