Dimitri - All nice hunters posted above and great variety - thanks for sharing ::tu:: ::tu:: ... 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 ::nod::

Thanks Lee!

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 ::tu:: ::tu:: ... 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 ::nod:: (and a nice sheath too)... 8) (Thorny for lack of a better word but just came to mind looking at it :lol: )...

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 :D
