Debbie gets her bear..

..finally. After the first taxidermist jerked us around for over two years, I got our hides back, still frozen in the original bags. Another taxidermist did the mounts, hers being a full mount. This is the result.
I also had a custom knife made using the lower jaw bone from her bear skull as a handle. It has a damascus blade and the knifemaker also made the sheath.

Very nice, Congrats to your wife! Awesome knife, are you willing to disclose the maker's info? Very creative use of the lower jawbone.
