spsurfer 891 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thank you Sirs!! Sometimes when you come across a nice piece of stag, it's looking better to adapt the ferrule to the stag than the other way round. Here in germany, a "Nicker" is referred to a small hunting knife from bavaria / austria. It's function was to sacrifice a wounded animal with a stab in the neck (Genick). Today this knives are carried in a small pouch in these typical leather pants (as I'm from Hamburg, you will NEVER EVER SEE ME wearing something like that ) but the bavarians do... and they have even a special law, that allows them to run around with this knife, as it forms part of their traditional garb.

jok 3,035 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 That didn't answer my question. 2 Euros? Got to be a good deal. Lol. I totally agree with shaping the ferrule to the antler. What a result. Can't remember seeing another. Good work. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Agree with Welsh-Red. And. On the subject of lederhosen , I bought my first pair many years ago and they gave me great comfort when out hunting, shooting and rabbiting. Amazingly comfortable and the ladies found them irresistible. Probably got the lederhosen wrong but you get my drift. Never, however, had a knife secreted within.
