Title: Bear Camp Blades--Final Cut
Post by: tippit on July 06, 2007, 10:02:00 AM
Well these are the ones that did a good job skinn' bears   :scared:   I re-forged and re-tempered the ones that that didn't quite cut it...pun intended   ;)  

Now I just need another hunt with a captive audience to try again   :campfire:   Doc

I'm surprised he even posted a pic of the top knife...that was the sleeper of the bunch. He made it a point to say several times, while looking over the top of his glasses, "This knife isn't going anywhere..."   :saywhat:  

Looking great Doc, I'll be yer R&D staff anytime, anywhere  :bigsmyl:

JC, That top one already has a new para cord handle, shaving sharp, and in it's sheath right next to my computer.  I'm hoping the 2nd one down skins as well as yours.  The blade tip is almost I dentical to my tracing of your skinner.  Doc

I think the bottom and third one up from the bottom are fantastic... but then again we don't get to skin a lot of bear here on the farm in MD... LOL...
But they look like they would do a sweet job on our whitetails (If I ever set up on the same danged trail they are using the same day    :banghead:    Too many trails to the corn field )

I luv'um all bud!

I've skinned my share of bears and like the idea of the rope grips. That sure would help with the slippery'ness.  

I'll be more than happy to one thru it's paces in my taxidermy shop and in the field     :D    :goldtooth:    :biglaugh:

Killie,  Do I have to take Bernie with his skirt  :eek:  

Guru,  The para cord sure does give a Great Grip...but difficult to clean up.  I used boiling water each night.  At end of camp just cut cord off.  It only takes about 10 minutes to re-wrap one.  I'll keep that top one in para cord.  Believe it or not that top one turned out to do everything well.

Tyler,  Hope to see you again this August...bring your Dad too  ;)  

Joker,  They will all be handled out with sheep horn, whitetail antler, and exotic woods.  They earned their keep.  

Thanks for the nice comments.  Remember, come on up to the 2nd Annual All Traditional Quebec Bear Quest to try to some new designs for next year. Looks like there will be 2 groups, just email Tom to get on a list.  Plus there will always be a knife in the pot for the biggest bear...Doc

I believe it...  ;)  

Any chance for a pictorial how-to on the para cord wrap?

Steve O, .  Once things calm down, I could do that.  They are very simple as long as you do a couple easy tricks...Doc
