Very Nice copy of Bear Archery knife kit
« on: March 28, 2012, 09:05:00 PM »
I love everything about Fred Bear but I am not a collector.I shoot green Bear heads and have a couple of Bear bows and killed my first deer with a K-mag.I have seen pics of his kit from I think in the 70's Knife,File and Stone all enclosed in a nice sheath and always felt like it was a nice bowhunting acc.Fast forward a few weeks ago looking at the sponser class.I see a sheath brand new for sale by Matt Foley handle(cuboodle)I just happened to have a knife that I bought from another tradganger that would work with his kit.I sent my knife and received it today ,it is perfect.Nice quality thick leather,great sewing and a very usable tool which I will use for it's intended purpose.I know the collectors may Po-Po as not orginal but if I had an orginal I would not be able to use it and I will use this one.Kip
 
 
 
Matt is a great guy to work with and has talent.

Matt's Bowhunter's Kit is great stuff. Myself and a friend now have them and I wear mine all the time. Fred had this designed for a purpose. Enjoy. TM

Looks like a Puma brand knife. I used to have one but it's somehow been misplaced.   :knothead:

Kip, That's great and a really nice looker. I've got a repo also and I'm just as tickled with it as you! The great thing is you can use it everyday and not feel like you're abusing history!
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

That is a nice combo. I really like the file handle. I'd like to know how that was done. I tried a piece of curly maple for one of my files, but not quite...

That is nice looking and a great tribute to Fred Bear.
I saw one today while hunting my way.
  It sparks in me the thrill to hunt tomorrow's day.

My handles are done in three pieces I cut the tang shape out of the middle section and glue all three slabs back together after sanding.

Thanks for the nice comments. I like must wanted a user and couldn't see shelling out collector prices for a set that I wouldn't want to take afield.
