Any love for the moose?

[5K Qs]

The extent of my love for a moose probably depends on how the pattern is defined. If the 2 big blades MUST be clip and spear, then I've never had a "true" moose (although I like that blade combo). And if a moose MUST have square bolsters, then I don't love a moose at all.
But if a moose can have rounded bolsters and clip/spey blade combo like ED's below, then my affection for the moose pattern is quite strong.

There was/s also a Zoro. As I've never been a big fan of Zoro, I didn't get his moose.

The only moose I currently have, however, is the RR Zorro moose that afishhunter is missing:

The Moose ! The pattern which makes me neglect the iconic Trapper.
Two blades, two pivots, two springs. Two knives in one.
I do like the serpentine 81 in osage orange.

A nice Queen made Tuna Valley moose in amber stag. Out of all the Tuna Valley knives that have been made, one of the few that has eluded my search is this moose pattern made with TimeKeeper handles. But the hunt is 1/2 the fun!

I’m not really sure if this Remington was supposed to be considered a Moose pattern but if not it’s as close as I’ve got. I missed out on the GEC Moose knives but they look like they’d make a nice robust outdoorsman knife.

If its got Bullwinkel on it ...but what the MooreMaker...is that a moose or is too snakey?

It's a moosebelly!
I love the moose pattern. And the muskrat. I own neither but I'm closing in on them, I'm having a blast right now looking at all the older Remington and Winchester knives.

That’s just plain cool.

The moose pattern is interesting.

On one hand the idea of two full blades (this has been mentioned above). Seems counterintuitive and even clunky or unnecessary

On the other, it was a remarkably utility and popular for a long time amongst outdoorsmen and hunters for a good reason.

And on this particular forum it seems the wisdom of our ancestors is revered and we seek to relearn what they knew

What an interesting situation

Just own a few (and have owned and gifted a few more) but this Winchester from the Blue Grass Cutlery days (1988) is my favorite. It's a snapper! OH
