Great looking knife Ron, and a lot of history there. If it were me, I would use it. I to am a knife nut. I can't pass up a good looking knife, I got more then any man needs, but I still keep getting more, and I use every one of them.
Good hunting, and skinning.

I would get a "woods" sheath made for outdoor excursions.  I think a design similar to the sheath that Osagetree made (in his homemade equipment thread) would suit this knife well.

I was planning on taking it to the woods no matter what was said so thanks to all of you for confirming that I'd be doing the right thing.   :wavey:

Now that's a stunning bit of cutlery, right there! Congrats Mr LaClair. What are you going to use it for if not hunting?  :D  :D  :D

Hear hear!

I think it would be a tragedy to deny that knife time in the field.  Pie is meant to be eaten, women to be loved, and knives to be used.

It is a beauty and I just bet will even more special after a few miles on your belt and well earned blood on it.

BTW.. new here but already it feels like where I should have been a while back.

Use it the only fear is losing it out in the wilds, but then you are only giving it back to the universe.That is a decent and honorable loss in the right places. To lose it without ever using it would be a miserable shame. I lost a good knife with plenty of history, it had been in the family 80 years, to a thief who walked into my house one day. Walked out with my hunting/guide pack full of gear. Grim rage and bitter misery as it had been my dad's and he only used it once in the wilds of the remotest bits of Botswana in the sixties. I used it on on many trips and several hunts and skinned and slaughtered my first animal with it. Now I am so glad that I did too. Glad too that he also used it some. Sad that it is almost guaranteed to be used in crime here in our fabulous country.

Met a guy that finds chert arrow heads, hafts them to an arrow, resharpens the edge, and hunst with them.  I told him I thought it was a waste as they were valuable and too cool to lose etc.  He said that they were meant for hunting and he got a kick out of it.

In the end, I saw that he had a point (no pun)

After 10 days in deer camp carrying my new knife, I found it's more than just a pretty trinket, it is very functional and easy to carry. This type of sheath with the "frog" or flap that goes over the belt or sash rides very comfortably in any position plus it gives quick access to the knife.....what can I say...I love it.

I think I'm set for knives for awhile...  :rolleyes: .....   :biglaugh:

Ron, do you have a closer pic of the sheath/holster for your hawk?  I've been trying to get one 'just right' and that one looks like it rides very well....


And (as you know) just when you THINK you're set for knives for a while you'll find "just one more" that you really "need"  :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:    :biglaugh:
