It's just a real good little all purpose knife. Came in handy at a branding last spring when a horse knocked over a large steel corral panel he was tied to. One quick swipe with the knife and that lead rope was toast. Horse free, no wreck and all good.

1095 hi carbon steel. Etching is done in a coal forge. Blade hardened to 58 Rockwell as per the website for Pine Ridge Knife Company. Stout knife, and razor sharp. I always have it with me. Horseback I have it on my chaps belt, and also pack a Bowie if I'm in the backcountry. Can't have too many knives!

I ended up buying a fixed blade Buck knife. Made in the U.S.A.

My daughter carries that small knife I made her years ago everywhere around the farm. On the belt when she's on the ground, on her boot top when riding.
