In 1904 the Kruger National Park ranger Harry Wolhuter had been attacked by two lions, one chasing after his horse, the other grabbed him at his shoulder, draggin him into the bush.
Harry stabbed the lion to death with his sheath knife, a butcher type knife by Williams & Smithfield - London".

I tried to recreate a knife, similar to the original, but with slabs from kudu horn and a thicker blade stock.

i reckon harry walhuter would challenge that statement

Looks were obviously deceiving Red , it did the job for sure ..saying that if I found myself needing to stab a lion  I think I’d run with the new one even if it is untested ..?
