    i bet it will ! i gave one of these to a proper butcher for xmass it was the same shape but had buffalo handles he was so taken back by it at first from its shape , then he held it ................... for months he was looking for ways to use it at work !! said thats a proper knife one you can use and admire .. weird shape maybe but its out of my head and whop knows what happens in there but the grip and hold of them is something else !! very nice work rob .

    thanks again guys . how do pro stalkers cope then they have large numbers to cull and lots of land to cover . if you are perfitiant and practiced and you can see safly out to 300 you should not take the shot ? also why not use balistic tips i know its an attempt to limet meat damage but it could help with not wounding ? there must be if not there will be call for a medium blaistic effect bullet ? maybe limeting damage but erupting heart and lungs ? or neck shot with proper balistic tips so the meat damage is not on prime cuts (butcher in me thinking here )
