Just a fun post, if Jeremiah johnson had his pick of the knives available today what do you think he'd pick.
It could be a production or custom, let's hear what you think would fit with his Mountain Man lifestyle !!!
actually the Jim Thorpe bowie from Randall is supposed to be the modern knife ,The book "Crow Killer" was about Thorpe and this is where the story of Jerimiah Johnson came from its a great knife.
I bet he would go with what he used for real. His knife had a 11" long blade. and was just about 3/8" thick at the spine. His knife is in a muesum in wyoming.
It was a J. J. as I do. His new and improved knife would look something like this.
