I had a customer order a duck call while I was in Havre De Grace, MD last year. Well, it is a unique duck call that I haven't got around to doing yet. While I was over in Jersey hunting with Rich Young and Shawn Linn this past season my customer called and wanted me to make him an oyster hucker along with his duck call. I'm not one to back down from something new or challenging, so of course I said yes. I'll be working on the duck call this weekend, but here is the oyster shucker. This is my first finished "knife" of any sort. I contacted Yukon Mike to get some pointers on knife making and he was more than willing to offer any help he could - Thanks again Mike! I do still want to call you at some point. I have one heck of an idea for my next knife project...I'll be keeping the next one for myself though. Anyway, here she is...My first oyster shucker made with a bocote handle. I may have an oyster engraved on the back side of the blade to finish it off. I Have to go see my engraver on Monday anyway.
