Northwoods Fremont

The Northwoods Knife brand name originated in Gladstone, Michigan when a man named Dave Shirley adopted it as his knife company's name in 2004. Dave was well known for collaborating with popular knife companies to have knives made to his specifications for resale well before 2004 & beyond. KnivesShipFree bought Northwoods from Dave & has continued to team up with respected makers to produce knives marked with the Northwoods brand name.

Greg, the new giraffe is a Beauty. You are finding quite a few top GEC knives. I am always on the look out for ivory or mammoth GEC's but so far no luck. But finances are low so it's probably a good thing.

I wish there had been an ivory or mammoth #35 Churchill. I know, this is out of place in a Fremont thread but i wanted to post it.

I've had this Fremont in pocket quite often lately. There's good reason it's so popular. Pity the factory hasn't had but one run of the 79 workhorse.

Here is a Stag Fremont that just sold by auction on ebay for $666. Very fine stag and rather high price.

Fremonts are one of my top two Northwoods patterns. I’m somewhat new to the Northwoods line, but have been fortunate to acquire a few. Here is one in stag.

Thank you Far Side! It’s hard to choose a favorite, as they are kind of like kids, but I’m pretty partial to this one.

Bucki, what are the beautiful yellow handles on the above Fremont ? I'm not sure if wood, Micarta or bone. You have the finest Fremont collection.

Thanks David and Roland...The yellow Fremont is camel bone. This example took the dye very well and has a deep, even color to it. It's from an earlier run in 2014. As for color, I'm kind of partial to my blue camel bone.

Kind of an odd colored Fremont. I believe it was supposed to be Black Camel bone but the bone was too dense to take the dye. Only a bit of the black shows in these covers.

Ivoryman, you’ve got some great Fremont examples, for sure! Here’s one of my favorite mammoths.

Another gem Buckibbq, beautiful ivory and weathering. Fabulous. Great investment too, just saw a Freemont sell for well north of $700. Wow.
