Let's see your good old basic fixed blades, Bowie's, Stickers, etc.

My Bark River Mountain man.
I had been running a modified Old Hickory but found the edge holding lacking when butchering moose. This is a very similar knife in 3V. Can't wait to try It!

5.5" blade at .092" thick. Slicey!

I got this once ubiquitous Unimart (Solingen) hunter years ago from the family of an old hunting buddy after he passed at age 88. I've used it to clean rabbits, but not on a deer, yet. He was a fascinating man (auctioneer, car dealer, deputy sheriff) and a fine hunter. I would dove hunt with him, using my 12 ga. and couple boxes of shells to approach my limit, while he sat in an old plastic webbing patio recliner with a .410 Remington model 1100 and collect his limit with less than a box of shells. Humbling and worth every minute.

Very cool, and, yes, a .410 is an experts gun.

Is that a Winkler Knives II? I've got one of his that looks like that, except it has curly maple handles. I'm curious if the sheath came with it? Mine came with a leather over kydex sheath.

A Tapadero Grande in sheephorn. First time I've ever made one.

Two sheaths for it:

And if ya get a knife and ya get a sheath and then ya get an extra sheath might as well get something to put em on. One of our custom Water Buffalo leather belts rounds out the order.

Tapadero Grande is 9" oal with a 3 3/4" blade as opposed to 7" oal and a 2 3/4' blade like this regular Tapadero:

Now that is COOL! Does the compass still work?

First time I've ever made one.

Certainly no stumble on this first step, Dave. That is a mighty fine knife and some beautiful leather work. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Suart. Adding a couple of inches to an existing pattern is tougher than it might seem.

It may not be the old carbon Pumaster steel but it does bring back some good ole memories.

That's a beauty, Alan,

Thanks Jeff. I only get to use the base of this tree as a background when the weather is BAD. It's in the park behind my house but near the kiddie park. Knife photos are not a good idea there. lol

It is a Winkler Belt Knife. Its not the standard sheath. It is a sheath that came with my LT Wright Northern Hunter. I made a new sheath for it. You can see it here in my ongoing review...

Thanks for the response, Riz! Nice review and a nice job on the sheath.

Nice Kirk. I had a White Hunter too. I never liked the blade shape, it always felt like a canoe paddle.
