I picked up these two Bark River knives from a friend at church today. He wants me to make him a sheath for each one. Apparently, several years ago, he made a couple knives and gifted them to friends along with the sheaths that originally belongs to these two Bark River beauties. I'm just curious, can anyone identify which models they are? I would like to closely duplicate the original sheaths but I don't really know what models to look up. He said he bought them around 10 years ago. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 
It looks like they may belong to the Gameskeeper family. Send the pic to Bark River, they will tell you in a heart beat. Are there any identifying marks on them at all?
 
Top knife is (I think) a High Plains Skinner. Bottom knife is a Gameskeeper. You can do a web search and find the original gallery for both. The Gameskeeper is still sold- go to KSF for specs.

I thought the Fieldsman II was between 7 an 8 inches in length. You may be right though.

Well, there is a shorter version, the Fieldsman and that's a hidden tang version of the Huntsman.
It could be the reversed, but I think the Fieldsman is the shorter of the two.

Thanks guys. The only identifying marks, other than "Bark River" the top one says limited edition and the bottom says first production run.
Honestly, I'm a little upset that I'm going to have to give these back one day. :)
