I don't mean to thread-jack, but I couldn't help but notice the moose in the engraving is backwards. Does anybody know if this was an artistic goof, or was the clip point considered the secondary blade at the time?

Very interesting thread:thumbup: Thought it might be worth quoting the author himself :
' A word as to the knife, or knives. These are of prime necessity and should be of the best, both as to shape & temper. The "bowies" and "hunting knives" usually kept on sale, are thick, clumsy affairs, with a sort of ridge along the middle of the blade, murderous-looking, but of little use; rather fitted to adorn a dime novel or the belt of "Billy the Kid" than the outfit of a hunter. The one shown in the cut is thin in the blade and handy for skinning, cutting meat, or eating with. The strong double-bladed pocket knife is the best model I have yet found, and in connexion with the sheath-knife, is all sufficient for camp use ' Woodcraft.
I like the emphasis on a thin bladed knife, all too often fixed blades in supersteels are thick bayonet like horrors My modest trio here is a Great Eastern 73 or 23 pattern 2 blades, a Fiskars Mini Hatchet, and a Buck Gen5 skinner in stainless. Not very glorious I know, but reliable, easy to use and tough. Wonder what Nessmuk used for sharpeners?

Just like Chuck Norris, he was probably such a tuff sum bitch, he sharpened his knives with his teeth.
