Been messing around inside for a few days due to rain so decided to make a knife. I used a number 3 trap spring and elk antler for the handle. The other end I made into a bottle opener. Just thought I’d share it

Very nice....great job....

Also like the book cover under the knife and bottle opener, what’s the title of the book


Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

Book is “History of American Lion Hunting”.

I’ve got some more springs. I plan on making some more. I might make me a skinner also.

Nice work. I'm trying to think of another one to make. Your bottle opener is a neat idea.
