I’m guessing since this is a fixed blade forum that the FBK acronym means “fixed blade knife”. I’m a noob though so I could be wrong.

My newest catch from the Bay is a no longer made, 4" AG Russell "Deer Hunter."
I thought I was getting a 3" AG Russell "Bird & Trout" to go along with my 2" AG Russell "Hunters Scalpel." Fortunately for me, this knife was mis-identified by the seller.
AG Russell is still selling the 3" Bird & Trout but $60 is more than I'm willing to pay. Therefore, I'm still on the hunt for a good used one on the bay.

You got it B.F.G. (

I am just speculating here .... but

I suspect you work/teach in the field of
Physics? Maybe specializing in
String Theory? ....

Ken, your AG is similar to this Beretta, but I like your AG better, having a sharpening choil. Knice!

I have couple of the Berettas and while AG's "Deer Hunter" is a kool (to me) little knife it's not in the same class as the Berettas.
I never noticed the lack of the sharpening choil having never used my Berettas. That is a desirable feature.

Has anyone else noticed that when TV programs re-enact crimes, like Forensic Files for instance, they tend to use props that aren't necessarily the same as the actual evidence? If there is a "large hunting knife" involved they almost invariably show one of two particular knives, The Ka-Bar fighting knife or the Buck 119 Special no matter what the original knife may have been. I wonder what the manufacturers think of that. Maybe I just watch too much crime TV.

Thanks Tony.
Leave it to a collector to notice what kind of knife they use as a prop.

An old butcher knife made in Sweden and one unmarked. Both with a heavy vinegar patina. A great camp knife from the Ukraine, curtesy of ZTWKG

Sas,

...I tried to do some research on your topic of
TV programs that re-enact crimes and fixed blade knives ....

I'm not sure I've solved any mysteries...

in fact ...

I think I am even MORE confused now than when I opened this thread today....
