Dimitri - All nice hunters posted above and great variety - thanks for sharing ... The Union Cut is interesting to me - a folding hatchet with the clip blade - I guess to severe limbs etc ... Some real nice bone on those knives like the Wostenholm for example... Lets see the fixed blades

The Union knife/hatchet is the boy scout version marketed to scouts for chopping small pieces of wood for kindling, etc. The shield has boy scouts on it they also had them unmarked for sale to hunters and outdoors men.

Awesome fixed blades and I really like the variety in those examples Dimitri ... The Wade & Butcher is just pure classic hunter, the Underwood (London retailer if I'm not mistaken) is different to my eye having more of a double-edged blade and the last one (unmarked ??) has a great gnarly "thorny" stag handle with one heck of a blade (and a nice sheath too)... (Thorny for lack of a better word but just came to mind looking at it )...

Thanks Lee, the knife is completely unmarked, I wish I knew who made it!
The blade is something like 12" long IIRC and the blade grinds were done by a very skilled Cutler. The handle is very gnarly and feels good in the hand, right down to the handmade sheath I like everything about this knife

That's a real beauty there, Roger.

Great knife Roger ... If I am not mistaken at the NCCA show yesterday I saw the same knife and same etch but a Northfield stamp - and the knife was mint ... I guess that may not be surprising given the knives were made under the same roof for many years...

Hi, All:
A few days ago, I bid on and won, at auction, a Marble's Woodcraft hunting knife. It arrived today, by the USPS. It is a true replica of my first Hunting knife. It has been used, and abused during it's many years of use. I bought it knowing that it would be in hard used condition, so i'm not disappointed. I will have to give it quite a bit of thought as to how much to clean it up, or to leave it as is. As of now, after eighty six years have passed, It seems as though, I have my old "first hunting knife", like I remember it, in my hands again. My original knife, was used by my mother, the last twenty + years of it's very useful life as her garden knife. It was lost in the shuffle at her estate sale. Lost, but not forgotten. Please forgive me for retelling this long true tale of my first traditional hunter- 50 yrs. old, and older. acquired in 1936.
