New to this site, Have a Northfield knife I was seeking information on. I havent carved in years, wish I could get into it agine, This is (Majuba) my last carving, It is Brissle cone drift wood, found it in CO. Carved it while hunting gold at the Majuba Placers in NV. That was a great time in my life. This old age is tuff.

I spent most of my life working at a job that i hated & I always said that when I got my 4 boys threw school I was going to do something I wonted, I know I had to still work but I was going to work at a job I liked. When you get hungry you discover talents that you never dream you had. I carved trappers & Indians, I never new what he would look like, I whacked away till the personality jumped out at me. I went to Quartzite AZ.to sell my carvings & discovered that they were finding gold nuggets laying out in the desert in the dirt. No more wood carving, I become a gold miner till I got too darn old.
I am now a knife collector (one knife) Trigo8
