[QUOTE="lafn96, post: 5757935, member: 22826"] Back when I had just gotten out of the Marines and my wife was expecting my first son, I contacted a guy here in TN named Ronnie Kephart to make matching knives for us. Loved the shape, and with the longer finger guard very safe when hands are slick from cleaning. Handle is made of Brazilian Ironwood, which is extremely tough and durable. When we were expecting our 2nd son, I couldn't find Ronnie Kepharts contact info to have the same knife made for my new son, so sent another knife maker a template and pics so he could match it. Had these two (I had to get another, right?) made out of S30V steel, handle the same Brazilian Ironwood. Pic below of the 2nd one made. If anyone knows or has Ronnie Kephart's contact info, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could send it to me. [ATTACH type="full"]201954[/ATTACH] This one is a Herter's from the 1930's, and also one of my favorites. My Grandfather got it when he was in his teens, no telling how much game it's cleaned. Great steel, handle and blade shape. Just used both of these for cleaning one this past weekend, so both need to be cleaned and sharpened. [ATTACH type="full"]201959[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
