I figured I would give it a try, to see if I could make one. It was last year when I lost my job, and everyone was buying Muks. I wanted one and made it on the cheap. I want to get a properly made one, in the future. I even made a sheath for it. I was trying to keep it all very primitive. I have not skinned with it yet, so I can't remark however it did cut all the leather for the sheath very well.
