Will, thank you. Your 'adventures' of 20 or so years ago are now giving us some needed info on the "Upper Peninsula" knives.
My orange G-10 knife is an early Bark River, not a Northwoods branded knife. Did Mike S. do any of the blade grinding in the early days of BRK&T ? Whomever did grind this blade did a masterful job.

Re: Bark River Knives?
I may be mistaken but in my researching Mr. Stewart, I do not have the impression that he was actually getting his hands dirty in the shop since his early days at Marbles.
He did a LOT of his own PR but i haven't seen anything stating that he was actively grinding knives after Marbles.
I am most likely mistaken, and if anyone knows more about this (shop work vs desk work) I would love to learn.

Re: Bark River Knives?
The best way to know at what times/places he was making knives is to ask him. An email to BRK "Attn Mike Stewart" should get to him. You might get a reply if you keep your message brief and to the point.

I have a couple; I have not actually used them beyond coonfingering. The third knife I kind of put in the same category; it was recommended to me by Tank. Rest his soul.
