The "Bone Trapper"

[Rick Marchand]

Hello again,
I made this one, juss'cuzz. It gives me a break from requests and allows me to put stuff up for sale on the interwebz so I don't completely disappear into knifemaking hermitude.(pretty sure that isn't even a word.) The Hieroglyphs on the sheath are First Nations, Mi'Kmaq... the indigenous tribe around these parts. Not sure what they translate to... so don't be surprised if you get slapped by a native in Nova Scotia.

Very nice looking knife and sheath.

Very cool! I've seen a few makers who do an excellent job creating blades that continue a tradition of 'frontier' knives - i.e. John Cohea, with his Bear-Jaw Bowies and their wrought-iron guards - and quite a few who make choices I find impractical and odd, though I'm sure they're exactly what some folks are looking for. But you've developed a unique primitive style, with knives that have a rough beauty and a soul of their own... which can never be summed up in a CAD file and replicated in a CNC. That's not to say there's anything wrong with high-tech knives, but there'll always be a place for custom-forged blades that are at once tools, weapons, and a unique artistic expression of the craftsman who made them.
