Just showing off my new patch knife, I can shave with it if I have too. It's a Green River Russel, I made the handle out of thick rawhide, it's glued and riveted. |

Thanks for the posts, The knife works great, I like the slim handle as it fits where I put it, I did nothing to the Rawhide, it seemed pretty stiff to begin with. The blade makes me happy, it trims patches nicely but I do need to sharpen it after about 25 rounds. It lives in a sheath on the shoulder strap of my possibles bag. It's a Green River, I got a Fox Valley Tanning near by and they sell Green rivers for a good price. I expect razor blade performance out of it. |
