the knife was used to field dress skin and partial quartering of adult cow elk. Knife performed admirably. It still has quite a good edge on it, though I did use my butchering skill and cut very little hair, which is what will really dull a knife. Great steel, great wood, great knife. Thanks Garry!!

Congratulations on a successful hunt. I love to see these knives after being put to work and the thumbrest skinner would be right at home in that workplace.
 
@Ray B , I hope you don’t mind me piggy backing on your post :) Garry certainly makes great knives!
I have the Bushcraft Hunter and so far this fall it has worked on a bear, two antelope, a mule deer, and a Tibetan Yak! :D And just now it is getting it’s first sharpening. It is an awesome knife!

Nothing more beautiful when blood turns the blades dull gray from use, love, and stories. They get prettier every time they work. Congrats on the knives, the hunts, and the stories!

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
