Here are two "primitive" knives I made using deer forleg bones and sinew. The Blades are the same model which Ferret showed us a few threads ago! Epoxy over sinew to water proof it. I am building a neck-knife sheath for one and putting the other on a quiver strap. (I'll post a photo of those sheaths when I get them done).

I still wear an old Herters Bow Hunters Belt Kit I bought in 1971 for $7.39. Comes with a 5" blade and 4" stag handle. The sheath also holds a 8" file and sharpening stone. The whole rig is similar to the one Bear sold for years.

Which one do I carry hunting?   :confused:  That's a tough decision I have to make every time I head for the woods.   :biglaugh:

Well, I have several to choose from...although not as many as Ron!
On my back quiver I have one of Stickshooter's blades attached and in my backpack I currently have a Tippet caper and a Puma.  All of them are scary sharp and definately do the job.  I'll probably change the Puma and use another knife from time to time this year, but for now, these are my go-to knives.

I have a "new" Knife that was given to me by my "brother" adkmountainken and it is VERY special to me!!!!!

It was made by Matt Lesnewski of ML Knives in Amsterdam N.Y. It has moose antler scales and rides in a beautiful leather "moutain man" style sheath. It will be riding on my belt for many years to come!!!!!

Still in my pocket though,will be the Buck 110 folder that my lovely wife Lisa gave to me on our first Christmas together 20 years ago.
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

I carry a Helle Godbit like the one in Ron's picture (bottom row second in from the left) and I carry a small Bear Cuttlery knife that looks like this:
