Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
You boys are working too hard to skin that deer.
If ya want to undress one, hang it head up, "ring" and slit the hide on all the legs, slit the hide from the neck to the butt hole, ( should have already done that when ya gutted it). Cut all the way around the neck and pull the back of the neck hide loose far enough you can take a rock about the size of your fist and wrap the hide around the rock. Tie a rope under the rock. Tie ti where the rock is captured by the hide. Hook you pickup or four wheeler or whatever you got handy to the other end of the rope and pull the hide off the deer. Takes about 5 minutes after you get it figured out.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Here's one I picked up yesterday as partial payment for a pinstriping job.It looks like the old Marbles Woodcraft style blade;has an etched signature of Webster Marbles on the blade and what looks like white phenolic handle with the Marbles logo,a clock,and the slogan,"For Every Hour in the Open" etched into the handle.Has a stamped logo on the sheath and the box has a bunch of numbers on the end.
Says,"72174020 Fieldcraft (tm) Signature Series I" and a written in # 34 in one spot;another says MA-F-4020 and a hand written tag says 2865.
There was an additional sticker that said Marbles Signature 34484 and a crossed out price of $250.00. It is a nice knife but I don't think it is a $250 knife.
Sorry for the lousy pictures;my camera is not functioning properly.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Western F66, Christmas gift from my parents in 1966. I helped my Dad pick it out at Tarrytown Mall in Rocky Mount NC - first mall in eastern North Carolina. My brother also got a Western fixed blade that Christmas, but all I remember about his was that it was smaller and either leather handled or stag handled. I sure thought that black/white alternating handle looked cool.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Thanks guys; finally used it this morning (it has been packed away for years), saw this little guy (90 lbs.) at 0621, walking across a woods path, dropped him with a .308 WIN at 120 yards. The knife was sharp as a razor, amazingly sharp - didn't know if I would like the upturned blade (usually prefer a drop-point) but it handled great - maybe I just wanted it too! The grip never got slick, even when bloody, I think Western made a very functional hunters knife with this model.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Here's a couple I dug out to re-shoot:
A Browning USA fixed blade(1 of 2000).
A custom drop point by William Zalesky of CT. I have two of his knives;the other is a boot dagger.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
Here's a pic of 3 Western items;an F28 small knife;an F48B medium size knife and a Western ax.The two knives I bought together(sadly with no sheaths)and the ax was a separate purchase.Was thinking of having a custom sheath made to hold all three.

AAPKers:
You might not think so but there is a lot to be said for minor memory loss. One of those things is thinking you have a treasure when you run across some you have not seen for awhile. It's sort of comparable to a gift. The only one I recollect is the Maverick, got it from Orvet a couple of years back. The Top two are 1916 Patent The last is a 70's Maverick, Next up may be a Military Pilots type(the ones described are of the first two photos) The last photo is of the nicer 1916 in original Sheath.

Re: American Made Hunting & Fishing Fixed Blade Knives
A Western R2 In Plastic Sheath with additional Camillus Skinning type of blade Bare handled.
Never saw one myself, does anyone recognize the name of kit. It would seem to be between 1991 and 2007. It is so small it might be for Mink, Ermine or rabbit to save skin.
