Thanks a bunch, guys! Appreciate it.

It started out as an old, worn out Nicholson file~ 50 cents at a flea market.
I brought up images of Russel Canadian Belt Knives on the internet, and after a bunch of tries, came up with a drawing to make a template from. Then I slowly ground away the metal that did not look like a CBK.
Blade is 3 7/8”, cutting edge a bit under 3 1/2.
The handle scales are from a tree I helped cut down at my brother in laws about 20 years ago. I think it’s hawthorn but not sure. It’s extremely hard. I kept a couple chunks and sliced into boards with my chain saw. Stained in dark cherry and finished with several coats of boiled linseed oil.

Great story Jeff, that makes it even more special

Today's combo

Nice line-up Jeff!

Carrying a couple of canoes this week.
One is a Rough Rider Ram's Horn Bone model:

The other is a Buck jigged bone model (thanks, Clay):

I'm also carrying a Marbles Workman camp knife (thanks, Mike):

- GT

I love that Buck Canoe, I never saw one by Buck before.

Thanks, Jack. That's Escondido Creek in Kingsville, Texas, near the headquarters of the King Ranch.

Very nice, Dee; is that a mod someone did for you? What are the covers made of?

Thanks Dean!
Indeed, it is.....

Top of the range impressive!

I doubt even a Custom maker could make one like that

Get's my vote for Knife of the Year. But then, I'm biased and right

Thanks, Will

flatblackcapo I think the BB Teardrop is one of the best you can get, just the right proportions. Happy I've got access to two of them, fine knives
