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.

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.

After acquiring nearly all the different cover variations of the Fremont Jack, I let a few go and have settled on keeping these favorites around.

Awesome looking group! What's the closed length on this pattern? Thanks.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Thank you David! It seems like a pain to get a group shot set up, but then is well worth it once you’ve captured a good visual record of your collection.
