Supposed to be made by a Native American artist. Local Obsidian blade, Mule deer antler. There are fields of Obsidian around here. 6000 acre fields. Nothing but glass for as far as you can see. Boulders of it as big as cars. Wild stuff.

Cool knife Iman. I bet you could knap a knife out of that glass.

Thanks dog, you have more faith in my abilities than I do. Seems like it would take a lot of practice and skill. And time to learn the finer points and technique.

sweet find. I know of the game, but never knew it was also a knife brand.

A special one Camillus put out probably to capitalize on the game.

Picked up a nice old Craftsman Lumberjack. It's been used, so it needed some TLC. The etch was gone, but it will make a good EDC.

Excellent Craftsman Kerry ... nice fat main blade, and the knife appears to be on the larger side,
which is to my liking ... Don't know what it looked like before cleaning, but it is showing off now! ::tu::

Thanks Tony. It had a lot of surface rust, and some really bad sharpening. It was so bad, the guy at the flea market sold it to me for $5.00!
It's great now, killer snap, very sharp blades, and very usable. Just like I like 'em! Oh, and it's the size of a scout knife, 3 3/4 closed and 6 1/4 open.

TMK, that's a big winner you got there! ::tu:: ::tu:: I love that knife because it has the second small blade, which makes it all the better for EDC ::nod::

GSP that is a beautiful barlow. I’ve always thought that Bear’s best pattern is their barlow. I always like the way they look. Haven’t seen one with a sheeps foot blade, I like that a lot.

I agree, TOPDOG! I thought the secondary blade was a nice feature. That Bear is great. I haven't seen one of those yet. Very cool!

Thanks for the mention on the Obsidian blade. I have one agate, now this. I like 'em too. Also sweet Barlow, like the blade, long pull, swedge, covers. Thats a looker. And the bones make for good background. Excellent shots. ::tu::
