White Iron Hunter
« on: January 16, 2016, 10:06:00 PM »
Another configuration of my White Iron Hunter with a W1 blade and some stabilized Minnesota maple Burl.
(The handle material is from a chunk of maple burl given to me by the ex-husband of a country music star!)

When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.

You'll notice the "luckiest" elk hunters have worn out boots.

I love it!  Has a "Fowler" influence IMHO!

That's a beauty Karl. That wood has such great figure.  I am sure this one is up to any task a knife would ever be expected to.

That knife is influenced by an old trapper's knife I found at an antique firearms show in Michigan in about 2003.
Fowler didn't invent that blade profile.
But it appears to be the only one that he can produce.
