I have small hands. I found the typical knives and tools to be made for large meaty paws making them clumsy for me. Now..not a problem. A local knife maker fixed me right up with this beautiful antler handled lip knife. He cut the length of the blade, gave it a beautiful wood tang and fashioned a deer antler handle on this little sweetie! It fits my hand, gives me the control I need in order to use it with confidence.
Who is this local artisan you ask? This is a young man that is focused on night school (engineering), working his tail off during the week for a well driller, hunting when he can with his sweet dog Dixie and making knives with his remaining upright hours. Tim Butler is from Napa, CA and can fix you right up. It is so refreshing to see a young man working hard, doing all he can do to get ahead and more. I had him make my husband a damascus blade knife with an antler shed from Joe Montana’s ranch. Very cool! Cooler yet were the hor de vours spoon and fork he set into the small tusks of the warthog my husband harvested in South Africa. Need a custom knife, custom utensils, custom corkscrew from your warthog tusk, salad spoons from red stag sheds? This kid can do it and it reasonable. Send me an email if you want Tim Butler’s contact information.
