Nice and simple white-tail scalpel

[J. Doyle]

Here's a small knife I finished that would be perfect for whitetail and smaller sized game. It is thin light and compact. A real scalpel.

Ground from 1084
6 3/4" overall, 3 1/8" tip to scales, .110" thick at the ricasso w/ radical distal taper ending in a nice needle point
Curly Claro walnut scales
german silver pins
Black leather sheath.

Just in time for hunting season.

This one will be used by the new owner. But no.....I would not hesitate to get blood on it at all. In a week or two, I am going to finally make me a hunter for my own use. It will be nice but I'll be happy to get blood all over it.
