When you are indigenous, you don't waste anything. I cut these 1.25" circles for stacked knife handles. I can't throw any leather away. It's my way of honoring these beasts. #fypシ #indigenous #indigenousart #knifemaker #indigenouscreations #Albertamade #highcarbonsteel #indigenoutraditionalcrafts

review : This knife made by James (BLK) is a great hunting knife. It did a good job with field dressing a deer as well as skinning. It held an edge well, handled, and maneuvered nicely. It held up to the brunt of breaking thru bones with no damage to the blade. Would definitely recommend to others!
