What is that "traditional" shield called on that sowbelly, Thomason?
Mike
I ain't Thomason, but it used to be my knife All I've ever heard that shield called is a "sowbelly shield" as it is what is commonly seen on a sowbelly...
Green canvas micarta, about 3 1/4 inches. A joy to carry.
That sowbelly is one nice knife!
That trapper is wonderful knowtracks! It must have been tricky working that textured ivory, and that horseshoe shield has a dozen ways to go wrong, yet it looks perfect!!
I am in awe!
Thanks for helping to make this a great retrospective, guys. I'm really looking forward to new additions as well! :thumbup:
I wonder if Ford got that killer fiddleback in yet ? He takes a serious picture,too
That was ,is,an awesome knife!
