SOLD
For Sale Black Bear Hunter
If you know us, youll know that we live up in the mountains of Colorado in a very rural forest setting. Last week, a dog owned by a friend of ours up the mountain from us was given a wake up call by a very large Black Bear right in his front yard. It was an ass over tea kettle swat that sent the German Shepherd mix tumbling down the hill. The dog wasnt physically injured but I dont think shell want to play tag with Bruno any more. Actually the very mature bear was pretty kind - as my buddy said it was more of a Git the heck outta here kid swat in the cheek that didnt involve heavy use of its claws. That incident gave me an idea for a knife and sheath combo. Make sure you read to the bottom to see the connection to the Black Bear and the possible restrictions of sale.
OAL 7 with a hollow ground 3 blade of 1095 that was edge quenched to show a Hamon.
The handle is Desert Ironwood with black and white spacers behind a nickel silver bolster.
Ironwood bead by maker on a leather thong (looks like an old Root Beer candy, doesn't it?)
Tapered tang with a nicely contoured handle
Vine and Thorn File work on the blade
Sheath: 6-7 oz. premium leather hand sewn by maker; with contours to match the knife; highly polished boot quality finish; with silver belt clip for right hand carry.
Sheath with latigo leather loop and thong (loop is permanently attached to the bottom of the sheath) and real Black Bear Claw - removable * See note below
Actual legally acquired Black Bear front claw. Measures approx. 2 around the curve. The tone of the picture makes it look almost raw but in real life it is dry and ready for use. *See note below.
This knife will be sold WITH or WITHOUT the actual Black Bear claw. Black bears are covered by CITES and are NOT FOR EXPORT OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES because of extensive paperwork requirements and delays. Therefore if a foreign buyer wants the knife, the claw will be removed from the sheath before it ships. The same applies if a domestic U.S. customers purchases the knife and their particular state does not allow the sale of Black Bear claws or parts. The law is restrictive upon the seller and I abide by all Fish & Game laws. If you purchase this knife and expect the claw to be included, I will check the list of states and their requirements to make sure I can ship it there. I purchase my claws from local hunters who legally collect them but If you are interested to see if your state allows or prohibits Black Bear parts you may refer to this link

Price: Was $300 with claw - Now $250; Was $275 - now $225 without depending on government restrictions; plus $12.30 shipping to the continental U.S. (Note: the only reason my shipping varies is the cost of insurance)
I welcome International Sales - Overseas buyers pay actual freight and only Paypal is accepted for out of the U.S. purchases. If you are outside of the U.S. make sure you read the note above about CITES and know that the package will NOT include the claw.
paypal@jarrettknives.com or personal check (inquire for details)
