Bigger is Always Better - at least that was the philosophy of famous Guns & Ammo writer Elmer Keith who called this knife "husky." Gill Hibben designed and made the original of this knife for Keith in the 1960s. Then, the design was produced in Japan for Guns & Ammo which gave the "Elmer Keith Skinner" as a promotion to subscribe to the magazine during the late 1960s or early 1970s (see last image for advertisement, not included with listing, for example only). Comes with original sheath.
