Big Schliepers

- Start date
Elliott, Your Big (Over 5" is bigger than you think if you've never held one of these) Folding Hunter is the next big Schlieper i would like to acquire. I think they are fairly rare now as yours is only the second one i have ever seen.
Puukko, the big Swing Guard is the only one i have ever seen in nearly 5 years of looking. When i saw this one listed, i bid Very High and still needed luck as my bid only just won. But i have no regrets on spending what would have bought me a Custom or a whole bunch of other knives. It's such a commanding knife to hold i think i'll say to heck with collector value and use it this Fall when my bow gets me a nice Whitetail. Actually they are rare enough that i doubt it will loose much value.

Hi Roland, thank you...hey to be honest...EVERY knife that comes up...I have a double take at it, and the guys here who own them are pretty darn good, but this knife has realy interested me, I wont at all use the photo for anthing else but my own personal reference Roland...so Thank you Sir :thumbup:
Ps..I like the way they have made the swing guard to shape the bolster-gives it a lift rather than the "usual" generic styled Swing guard....such a cool knife, along with the most stunning jigging of that lovely bone in conjunction with the neat little nail pull next to the fuller....such a difference!!
I can understand why you would want to bid higher for this beauty!
