Great thread. Have more knives than I need but sure do like'um. Will try to post pictures later of my snakewood hunter by Keith Murr. Keith surely makes a good knife. My man, "Ric O'Shay", has a couple nice ones posted already. Can't let him get to far ahead of me.  :thumbsup:

No, this knife was was made by C.L. Matteo and it's a copy of the blade style of the knife he carried (see middle photo) Seths original knife was inscribed  "Grizzly Dissector"

My 2011 season carries are my Hurricane Irene India staged handled caper that skinned out at least a 1/2 dozen bears this past spring and a bird's eye maple skinner that originated from an old rusty/pitted buggy seat spring...tippit

Mine are simple ones that I made from Russel Green River Blades.  First one is my main big game skinner, but it is too big for yotes and other smaller game.  Second one is for boing out.  Never carry on my belt, always in the bottom of the pack.

For initial opeining I use a 4" Uncle Henry folder but got no pic of it!

There's some absolutely beautiful knives in this thread! But I have to say that the bone handle knife in the first pic that LE Carrol posted on page one makes my mouth water and my heart skip a beat.

Here are three I use.
The top one was made here by a friend, Chris Cawthorne.
I made the middle one from a saw blade, and have made prettier copies of it for friends.
The bottom one I picked up in Nome and is by J.J.Johnston.

What is the knife in the middle on the bottom? Really like the looks of it.

Love those Randall 25s. Beautiful workmanship.

First one is my most used field dressing kinfe - a 4" Norwegian laminated steel blade in a stag grip I cobbled up myself.

 

Second is my current carry - a Benchmade Activator 201 (3-5/8" blade) in D2 steel.  Very happy with it so far.

Whoa, there are some real sweet knives shown here.
My longtime "go to" knife is the J. Marttiini knife that was made in Finland - I always have it in my pack.
 

This is my new favorite - made by Greg Gottschalk - expert knife maker here in Pittsbugh.  I wear it in a sheath on my belt.

Here are a couple i like a lot. this  first one is an Australian blade i put the Antler handle on myself.

 


This second one here is my first knife building attempt from scratch. Which i gave to my new son in law for Christmas. The case is made from some rare Black walnut wood.
