So anyway, this knife here, I started, I killed that bear.

So the jaw is made out of two bear jaws or out of one bear jaw split in half.

So that was a bear I killed in Canada in 2017.

It was my biggest black bear.

And so we split the jaw, put that together.

It's Irish linen threading.

Then that's a knife that my brother picked up that was from 1860.

It was totally rusted.

We had to grind it back, or he had to grind it back down.

And then the sheath is traditional.

The cool thing about doing rendezvous and the cool thing about this is you could have a DeLorean and drop that in 1840 and somebody would pick it up and think it was made yesterday.

And so everything on there has been done traditionally from the quilling on the beadwork is made from porcupine quills.

The backing is buffalo brain tan quilling.

And then the front is beaver hide, or beaver tail, I'm sorry.

And then the sides are horse and turkey hair hanging off of it.

And those are bear teeth, yep.

From the same bear.

So when I was thinking about what I was, because I wanted to give you something for inviting me on because it's still a shock to me that you did it.

Even though we've been talking for so long, I just never imagined a scenario where you'd want to have me on here.

I thought, what could I give this guy that, you know, money or people or whatever couldn't get you?
