Gert Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/19/13 Posts: 286 Loc: The Netherlands	My client suggested that I make a Model 16 Pathfinder inspired knife at the same time, and with the same materials, so he would have a matching pair. Good idea! So I went to work immediately. Filing away on the Niolox blade blank.
