Wow... the knife gods were smiling down on you with that purchase. Beautiful scales!My Otnat in Rams Horn arrived late in yesterday's mail. The disclaimer on Mike's site read that all that was left was light Ram's Horn. That was fine with me as James' (redsparrow) version was absolutely stunning. To say I got lucky with this one is an understatement in my book. This (to me) is absolutely BEAUTIFUL the mark side is fantastic in that the variation from front to back the color/shading is nicely varied, flip it over and the pile side is equally as nice
I ordered the Drop Point in ebony (another stunner) first as I wasn't sure about the Otnat's blade shape. It intrigued me and I found myself drawn back to it for good reason. I really like this knife and for those that have them, you know why
Very nice, Paul! I like how the nail pull on the Otnat helps facilitate pinching the blade open. It might look unproportionately placed bit it's actually perfectly placed when using the knife.My Otnat in Rams Horn arrived late in yesterday's mail.

Great looking Rams Horn!
Beautiful knife, unique knife.
I'm hoping CK will order another run in rams.
Paul, I just came across your post in this Otnat thread. That truly is some beautiful Horn you have there! I'm beginning to think if it says LionSteel on the tang, it's gonna be great.My Otnat in Rams Horn arrived late in yesterday's mail.

Love that rams horn.Paul, I just came across your post in this Otnat thread. That truly is some beautiful Horn you have there! I'm beginning to think if it says LionSteel on the tang, it's gonna be great.
The Otnat I have is just fantastic. Comfortable in every way a knife needs to be comfortable with excellent functionality, in any way a knife's function can be measured. Hats off to Mike Latham and LionSteel for combining so many positive elements when designing the Bolus series.
Paul you were right when you wrote, "I really like this knife and for those that have them, you know why." It's simply one of the best knife designs in recent years and... they look good too!
