My apprentice took over the shop. I was called into The ministry and am serving at the Baptist Mission on Kodiak Island, Alaska. He makes a pretty good rifle and is getting better all the time. Thanks for the nice compliments on the rifle in the picture. That rifle won what was the  West Virginia Muzzleloader Metallic State Tournement engaging 1/2 size NRA targets out to 200 yards almost 20 years ago.  We make knives now here at the Baptist Mission. Kind of a Woodbury style.

I think you’ll need a mite larger bore for them Kodiak “squirrels”...  Nice lookin’ knife/sheath too!
