Ontario Butcher Knives

Modified of course

The Old Hickory Butcher has been cut down to about 4-5/8" and the Hop knife to 5-1/4"

Figured western Maple scales.

Good idea

I've an old and huge Vic. kitchen knife that I may have to attack.

I've no need for such a blade in the kitchen (its about a foot long!) but I do need and don't have an outdoors fixed blade.

Bloody fine work Dave

Thanks!

I've been looking at various small Santoku and Chef's knives for something to include in my camp kitchen gear. Nothing has really struck my fancy along those lines but I think the modified Hop knife will do the job.

Yeah I can't see why not

Coldsteel have re-released the Western Hunter, that would make a decent (if big) camp knife, if you wanted to re-handle it

I don't think I eat any large enough to require a knife that big

Finally got around to finishing my butcher knife project.

This one started out as a Russell Green River Camp knife blade. Scales are toasted Osage Orange.

Russell Green River Buffalo Skinner and Sheep Skinner. Tiger Maple scales.

Hey got love the old style blades. Some people still dont understand how well these work today. Mountain men used the old butchers for years, and most likely still would to this day.

If I will have a chance I will have to take pics of my butchers I use for reinacting.

That's some really nice work.
