Man, those are both very sweet knives!!

I'm enjoying my trapper a ton. Makes a great hunting partner with my Menefee drop point...

Blood patina is the best patina Bret~

^ Well I got skunked that day but it's still early yet. I have a month+ of archery and then gun and muzzleloader seasons also. There will be blood....

I've had this one for a while and might even have posted it earlier in this thread, but I love it, so here it is again......

Beautiful piece/trapper by Bret Mark. I like that long cut swedge.

I hope to get another Dowell soon. Great pics!

That's a beauty Mark! My dogleg came in the mail today. I am quite smitten.

 

[BigBiscuit]

I can understand why Erik. Beautiful. Congratulations on receiving such a fine knife. :thumbup:

 

[wagglebee]

Great looking dogleg Erik.

 

[Gevonovich]

Wow, Eric!! That is so gorgeous. Love the basket weave:thumbup::thumbup:

Thank you Bob, Rob and Gev! I am not sure why they call it barbed-wire micarta. Just looks like burlap to me. I really like it though!

 

[Jsega51]

Maybe they call it barbed wire micarta because it's tearing at my soul! Very nice stuff, it has depth and a great blend of color to it.

I wonder what razor wire micarta would look like.....

 

[DOWELLKNIVES]

Not sure where the name came from either but I wish I had more. Its good stuff!

 

[stezann]

it is beautiful stuff indeed!
It looks very clear/transparent...is it scratch resistant to a certain extent?

 

[Jsega51]

Do I need another fixed blade to carry hunting? No.

Would I have been happy letting this one go after watching it not sell for a while? Undetermined.

Am I happy that I decided to buy it? YES.
