this knife was smuggled out of Czechoslovakia, in 1988, as a "thank you" present for me, for some audio cassettes of Blues, that I made for my friend to take to his friends, on the other side of the iron curtain. They were starved for American music, and sent this back, to show their appreciation.
Over the past four seasons, I've used this to gut and skin 4 deer. This year, I processed a deer for the first time, and used it for that, also. Finally had to sharpen it, for the first time.
