Idahoskunk's Defiance Hill

Wow!!! That is an old blade, probably 1980-1981. Check the bottom of the stand. . . it is probably marked. The knife was called "Defiance Hill". It was named after Defiance Hill where Fort Defiance was built in 1794. Here's a bit o' history about the name:

On August 9, 1794 work was started on a Fort at Defiance Hill. The fort was completed in 8 days. When "Mad" Anthony Wayne surveyed the land he stated "I defy the English, Indians, and all the devils of hell to take it." Defiance, Ohio is right up the road from here and the Indians who lived on our property were involved in the Battle of Fallen Timbers. . . Mad Anthony Wayne routed the indians and drove the British out of the area all in one fell swoop. Chief Wauseon (Wauseon, Ohio) was too young to have fought at the time. . . but he had many stories about the battle that he passed on to following generations.

The blade is D-2 and highly polished. It has an 18% nickel silver guard. It was definitely a show piece. Sadly, that Picassoesque attempt at scrimshaw was done by me. I only tried it a few times and could quickly see the writing on the wall. I refer to that as "distance scrim". . . because you have to be a fairly good distance away, for it to look good! The antler handle was cut from a deer that I shot in our woods about 100 yards behind the shop. It was a nice sized 28 point buck (alright it was 8 points. . .but it seemed a lot larger at the time) .

When I made the knife, I didn't have an etching machine, and in fact oftened stamped the initials of the knife's name in the blade. After I had purchased an etcher, the original owner sent this blade back to me (around '84 - '86) to be etched. He requested the G.P. Busse Field Grade mark instead of the Busse in logo format. I'm not sure why. I also then etched D-2 on the same side of the blade. There were less than 5 "Defiance Hill" models ever made. I had a hard time finding deer with large enough antlers! I could have made quite a few Doe handled knives though.

Nice find!!!!
