Great looking knife. I have the Skinner and love it. What's the price on this one?

It's times like this when you find out who your real friends are...uh huh :rolleyes:

jackdaw · « **Reply #25 on:** November 26, 2014, 09:30:00 PM »

those blades look awfully18th century Sheffield England"ish". typical English trade knife in style. Wear that in a Huron style neck knife sheath and you have something. (why does everyone seem to think a neck knife has a 3 inch blade???) I also have way too many "period" blades....lol

Jack, you mean like this one? Rawhide lined, brain tan elk decorated with porcupine quills and horse hair cones. This one is for when I get all gussied up for Rendezvous...

Here's another of my larger Huron style neck knives.

David Wright's painting of Wes Studi as Magwah with his big neck knife. The print hangs in my office

In all seriousness, I have seen and handled this knife and I absolutely love it.
It feels great in the hand and looks like it could slice a moose no problem. Ron told me about the deer he opened with it, as he did above, and he was impressed with its function, I think this is a Great knife.
I like old Time stuff, and this is Old Time.

That sheath work is beautiful!

I really like that print of Mr Studi. I esily recognized him and almost feel like I know him as many times as I have watched that movie. One of the best and most recognizable music scores ever. I have gotten to know Dan Winkler, who made the primary knives and hawks for that movie, over the years as we've visited at our custom knife shows.

This is my favorite time period in American history to study as far as the clothing and weaponry is concerned. That elk handled knife would fit perfectly.

It's my favorite time period too Lin and The Last of the Mohicans is one of my favorite films.

That's neat that you know Dan Winkler who made the knives and hawks for the movie. I knew Mark Baker years ago before he became famous, he was an adviser in the movie and taught Daniel Day Lewis (Hawkeye) how to load his muzzleloader on the run.

As it says on the bottom of my post,
"We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past" History inspires us, it does me anyway, since my days as a child when my Mother would read to me every night at bedtime, stories of Cowboys, Indians, Pioneers and Robin Hood. It kindled a fire in me to learn more of our history and that fire has burned brightly for more than 70 years.

Ron LaClair · « **Reply #33 on:** November 28, 2014, 10:02:00 AM »

Jack, John, whats the diff. They called JFK both John and Jack didn't they?

:D

I've got a couple of Juds knives that he made for me before he moved to AK. My blacksmith friend C L Matteo has a smoothbore made by Jessee, you can see the Brennan talent in it.

Jud had to come to Michigan for some reason a few weeks ago and he dropped in for a surprise visit. As you know he doesn't have a cell phone or a computer. I tried to talk him into getting a computer but I don't think it'll ever happen :D

jackdaw · « **Reply #34 on:** November 28, 2014, 07:12:00 PM »

he was at my shop the week before! We were talking about you! don't know if you saw it, but my father just died 2 days ago..!! those Brennan boys are talented.!!!! I'm just ribbin' you over that Jack thing..! glad to hear you got that 36 caliber back....! Kill any good bucks up at Shrew haven?......just getting ready for flint rifle season here....

Ron LaClair · « **Reply #35 on:** November 28, 2014, 10:04:00 PM »

I had not heard about your Dad, I'm so sorry to hear that. From talking to Jud I know you and he were very close.

SheltonCreeker · « **Reply #36 on:** November 29, 2014, 10:15:00 PM »

Sure do like those knives. May have to start collecting again.

Stumpkiller · « **Reply #37 on:** November 29, 2014, 10:49:00 PM »

I like it!

I know someone who is more of a voyeur than a voyageur but still that blade would look good on. ;-)

John, sorry to hear about your Dad.

Doc Nock · « **Reply #39 on:** November 30, 2014, 10:25:00 AM »

I WANT one of those knives... don't like the big honkin knives, but that would suit me.

First, I get the plumbing fixed in this house I bought...that the prior owner 'remodeled' but missed a step...then if there be some money left...?

So, Ron... does the sheath have a belt loop, can it be made angled loop for a cross draw?
