Let's talk Northwoods

Looks like a great size, love it!

Well it’s been a while. Nice to see everyone

I forgot how nice the Bear Lake V1 is and I’m not really a spear fan. Sweet stag and snappy action. Happy Stagurday!

My guess is that this one is probably a fairly rare bird -- a small stag lockback from the Dave Shirley era. My hunch is that this may well be one of Dave Shirley's early Northwoods efforts, while transitioning over from MSA -- perhaps using up some remaining stock of Marble's oval shields along the way. I am all ears if anyone has any other ideas. The lockup on this little guy is absolutely rock solid, and the notch for the index finger is comfortable and allows for a good grip. Great size that slips easily into the pocket...

That is very cool. I have not seen one like that before.

I think I posted a pic of this one many pages back, but since I'm carrying it today, here's a couple more.

I have only ever seen one other example of this one -- a version in brown Italian jigged bone.

Anyone who gets a knife faster than me is a bot. Anyone who gets a knife slower than me was just unlucky.

Anyone who gets a knife faster than me is a bot. Anyone who gets a knife slower than me was just unlucky.

This is my new mantra.

I’ll either be rubbing it in everyone’s face or too butthurt to view the forums for the next 2 weeks. No inbetween

 

[JW225]

I'll sit back and watch this time around...

Always nice to see a Northwoods run. I just hope they worked on the pull since the last Hawthorn run, they were a bit weak.

Correction, that was the Ocoee that I was thinking of with the weak pull.

Any idea on handle materials yet?

Any idea on handle materials yet?

If I had to guess, 2 colors of micarta, 2 colors of sawcut bone, and mammoth. Maybe if we are lucky we will get stag, too.

 

[Vaporstang]

I have a red micarta and a stag in addition to the camel bone here. I can't find pictures of the other ones. I will be in it to win it tomorrow. (My luck has not been good the last several drops.) Good luck to the non flippers!

 

[Soulrack223]

Black burlap in the teaser picture. So I will guess brown burlap. Mammoth tooth seems to be a standard high dollar offering in these runs. Blue camel bone, cocobolo, iron wood, hopefully Osage orange and stag are possibilities. A compliment of micarta makes sense. Wish I knew what was my #1 going in.

 

[Matt_WY]

Just three material types on this run.
