All About Pocket Knives

I recently purchased a Northwoods Bear Lake in Giraffe Bone. Oh, wow! I love this knife, and now I am quite smitten with Northwoods. I am looking for more (single blades), but as you all know, they are only available for a very short time at KSF before they are sold out (hhhmmmm.....I wonder why, oh yeah, 'cause they are awesome!) So, I was hoping someone here could help me out. I am looking for either a Forest Jack, a Fremont Jack, an Indian River Jack, or perhaps a Michigan Jack. I'm looking for anything in bone, wood or mammoth. I might go with a stag, but no micarta (or other non-natural) handles. Does anyone have anything they are looking to get rid of, or perhaps can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your help!

Ozark, I have a Northwoods search set up on eBay that I follow. I would guess that I see approximately 10 knives a week show up. In case you haven't seen what the secondary market looks like you might be surprised by the prices. Reseller prices are easily 1 1/2 times, and often twice or three times, higher than the original KSF price. The patterns you mentioned are highly sought after.

Good luck hunting.

I may can help?? -- you didn't say if you were going to carry the knife or collect ?? -- the reason I ask is I have a very nice ( NEW w/sheath ) Northwoods Forrest Jack,with Black Camel Bone Handles* ( only 3 were made with the black camel bone** ) --- I was going to sell it but when I took photos, I spotted a "hair-line" crack at the bottom pin "mark side" -- I put it back in the safe for a user/carry knife later on** don't think it effects the knife & doubt it will ever extend further -- hard to see,but I took photos as best I could to show you -- I gave $135 for the knife new, I'll sell it for $95 shipped to USA -- if interested, send me a private message & we can work out the details* --- anyone on AAPK can vouch for me** -- thanks, Monk

( Enlarge the photos ) Top left hand corner of second photo & bottom right hand corner of the last photo, ___ is the best look, of the "hair-line"

Looks good! And by the way, it will be a carry knife. Sending you a pm Monk.

Black Camel Bone """SOLD"" to ozark75, thanks Monk

By the way ozark75. You NEVER have to be concerned when buying from the Monkey Man. EVER!!

and

Unbelievable deal, too. You're not likely to find a Forest Jack (or any Northwoods) for that good of a deal, with or without a pin crack. Way to go, big monk...keeping the true spirit of blade brotherhood alive. Right On!

Cheers & Aloha,

Yeah, monk has been great to deal with, and what a generous deal he gave me! Very pleased. So, anyone else have any northwoods available? I'm still lookin' for more.

Oh, and thanks for the welcome! I lurk, alot! Just not a big poster.

Woohoo! My forest jack from Monk was waiting for me when i got home today. Beautiful knife! It was exactly as he described. I am totally pleased with the knife, the price and Monk!

So, I'm still on the hunt for some Northwoods. Anyone have anything they want to part with?

I have a blue camel bone, mint! Edit: my knife is not a northwoods, it is a KSF sfo tidioute.

Nice knife! Sent you a pm.

Still looking for some more Northwoods. Anybody?

PM sent.

Oh, I forgot to mention in the original post, I'm looking for single blade, not multi blade. Thanks!
