An Elaborate Patch Knife and Ball Pouch

Every visit to Tenderfoot Hill brings new surprises. Last Friday was no exception. Jud had mentioned that he was forging the patch knife to go with the powder horn, possibles bag set, but when I arrived, I was amazed to see this little jewel of a patch knife, finished and engraved with gold and silver inlays. Elaborate, unique ... words fail to describe the incredible harmony of design, at one with the rest of the set, that has been lavished on this small jewel of a knife! Multiple photos have been included at different light settings to show the different metals - gold, silver and steel to best effect.
Pictures follow with the rest of the kit, including the now finished turnscrew, ball pouch and the other accouterments previously illustrated.
