A very rare and unique set consisting of two hunting blades (drop point and utility) with stick tang construction, deer handles and steel ends. Originally this construction was a classic way to attach a blade to a handle from the time when all knives were forged, because the grip for the forging pliers was forged into a long pin that would disappear into the handle. A stick tang is also called a rat tang, because it resembles a rat tail coming from the knife. This knives set was created by the famous American knife-maker John Young. It comes with two handmade natural leather covers with a loop to hang it on your belt. The uniqueness of this set also lies in the fact that they are the only two knives produced by Young with this type of construction.
