It is likely called a Moose because a moose has large antlers on each side of its head, where a knife of the same name will have a full-sized blade on each end of the knife, as opposed to a smaller secondary blade. Two big blades = Two big antlers of the namesake. Compared to a muskrat, which has a slim clip blade on each end for skinning said muskrat animal. Funny how things get named .....

Most knife names have been cobbled together and become canon from various sources since the 70's, when knife collecting took off. Remington called their muskrat a "trapper" in the 30's. Some old gents I trapped with in the 80's still called them that.

Went to the Badlands in South Dakota today. Had my favorite knife with me.

These days, knives not quite in alignment with "Levine's" are considered Moose patterns. Who's to say whom the ultimate arbiter of the truth is?

Something about the moose pattern, it can't be just because I'm a moose hunter,it more about the blades on the moose.

the stag on this 81 is what you call a lottery win,the 54 moose is something else in strength and hand fit.

Here's an interesting one; a Sowbelly Moose!! Reproduced for Primble, by Queen in 1989, it is etched: "Perfect Texas Jack Knife" with the Primble logo in the middle!! (My how names change!!) A Rose by any name, this pattern gives you two large blades "sunk" into the frame, yet gives good access to the pulls!!! I've found a 'Belly sits nice in my pocket (RF), and keeps the sharp bits well covered!!

That 4386/89 on tang is similar to the queen made winchesters in 89

Queen's patterns of action were notable!!! I think they were made for the same distributor as well!!

Years ago I had a couple of Case moose and I liked them. I liked them more then the trapper. But They were sold when money issues came. I wish Case would bring back the moose and get rid of the muskrat. I have no desire for the rat. Two identical blades is something I don't need.

66 peach seed bulwinkle moose I was fortunate to get from the west coast of Canada and the winchester moose.

I have never had a knife with the nail nicked right through,how you like tat in a knife.

I like it — makes it very easy to pinch open, which definitely helps with blades that are a bit thicker (like the Northwoods/Scagel blades).
