I hunted with the two Damascus Knives for the last 25 years. Then the boredom of Winter had me surfing the web and I couldn't live without the two flanking knives!

Let's see your hunting knife collection...

Oh you guys buy hunting knives? I just make mine! Here are a few I made recently for myself and friends.

Above are some of my Bark Rives. I have many, I won't buy any other brand because they offer a great variety of steels and handle material. American made, and great warranty
 
Some of mine, all made by yours truly!!

Love seeing that some of you guys love nice knives… most NA hunts wind up with guys buying trendy stuff or super lightweight stuff. Life is too short to own ugly knives

*not that I’m judging the lightweight stuff… I shave ounces in my pack too!

I did not get the Fox River until I used one. It is probably my all time favorite hunting knife and I have it in several sizes, steels, and handles.

To me a custom knife like mine is very personal to me versus bought at retail, just me
 
Here is my hunting knife collection along with my hunting sword and 375 rifle:

Like the hunting sword and the first knife on the right , what are they ?
 
Nice who made this Loveless Pattern knife?

Here are mine. I took this photo last year. These are slab sided. I gave the top bully Bob to my father a couple years ago.

The top 3, from a smith in Michigan I can't remember the name of.

4th knife, can't remember maybe Menafee. There are like 25 custom knives up stairs. I can't remember them all.

5th knife is a 1990's manufacture 100% Bob knife made by his buddy in Japan under license. Probably not worth anything, but as Bob says "a knife is supposed to feel like your pecker in your hand when you are 16". It does.

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested
