I found some Krylon paint just that color of blue and painted my Eskimo 4-blades with it before I took them elk hunting last year. 💀

WOW!....That is cool!

e.t. all, great to see  so many had experiences with them.

I had a guy on here include a 6-pack of blue Eskimos in a deal we made - it was a welcomed surprise!!!!  I also bought some 4-blade blue Delta's recently so I hope to have some stories soon.  So far...the blue Eskimos have accounted for 2 squirrels. 

The coolest "experience" I have is that one of those blue Eskimos is roughly 10' up in a tree on the farm I hunt back home in WV.  It was the 2nd of two afore mentioned squirrels and ricocheted after the pass through.  Upon impact, it broke the ferrule of the insert ...so the arrow was left at the base of tree and the head remains.  It will be a funny reminder every time I frequent that bench. 

Strangely enough, that's the not the only head I have in a tree on that farm.  All others are reminders of glorious misses.

I shot my first mule deer and a couple of white tails with the blue eskimos.  I still have a couple of unused blue deltas.  Easy to sharpen and tough.

Here's a pic of the head I spoke of earlier....

This was when I retired it for good  and this was on my birthday....

Interesting. I heard tale that Jack got a 'deal' on some paint and ran with it.  Till of course folks started hollering 

[Charlie Lamb]

Skates... I heard the same thing. Knowing how frugal Jack was i don't doubt it.

[Terry Green]

Yep....that's what i heard as well.

History.  Tradgangs got it!

Jack being frugal??     The late Lamont Grainger would travel with Jack to the ATA Show.  Lamont told me of Jack putting in a quart of oil before they headed back to MN.  He then proceeded to wait a 1/2 hour to make sure the oil had all poured out.

I just found another old blue on a wooden arrow  while getting ready for this season.....

  Wow, what memories.... So many deer fell  to the O blue back in the day....

I really wish a would have taken more pictures  back then....

Last week I picked up a dozen cedar arrows for sale, made by Bighorn back in the day and they came with a dozen brand new, never shot, never sharpened blue Zwickey delta 2 blades.  Nice score!

Really cool seeing these old heads....AND being used!!!
