Show Us Your Hunting Knife

[migrabill]

While on Safari in South Africa 2 weeks ago I visited Lion Hearted Bladeworks. I met the owner, Carl, and he gave me a show of the lineup. I have contracted him to make a special order knife for me. It will be a Pikal style knife with Damascus steel. The handle will be from a Golden Wildebeest that I actually harvested while there. The sheath (front pocket clip type) will be made of Red Hartabeest as I took a Gold Medal SCI Red Hartabeest while there.
I will post pics when I get it. For anybody who is hunting in or near Limpopo- I suggest you give them a look.

Are you using horn or bone from the wildebeest?

One of my hunting knifes. A custom knife from Burger Knives in South Africa. It’s a pleasure to use and easy on the eye!

Upon discovering Von Gruff Knives through this forum, I placed an order for matching Safari and Lion knives, both of which just arrived.

Basic specs for both:
- Flat grind
- Yellow cedar burl handles
- Lanyard tube w/ leather lanyard
- Closed tope sheath

The “Safari knife” is, well, self explanatory; the “Lion knife”, was just because it is a memorable story from the life of Harry Wolhuter about courage and determination against the odds!

I hope to pass them along one day to my son Zander (who is currently 2), so I also engraved them with his first initial.

They are remarkably beautiful and perfect! Garry @nztimb is a true craftsman and I am greatly appreciative to enjoy his handiwork!!
