KF said something yesterday about hunting and fishing knives so I thought I might start a thread on them

I haven't hunted deer in recent years, but I used this Western Drop Point a great deal when I was.

Another that caught my eye (Because I am fond of Old Timers and Uncle Henrys, I got this one but never used it.

I have had this Old Timer (LLBean Label) on the belt of my brush pants for ruffed grouse and woodcock for the past 40+ years.

I have worn this Uncle Henry on the belt of my fishing pants for quite a few years now. It is a 55UH Special Edition.

They are all USA manufactured.

About 12 years ago I met (online) an old fella from Montana who at the time was in his 80s. I think I mailed him a Large Flat Rate box of split white oak slivers to age Moonshine with. We talked quite a bit, and he had no children to leaves his "Stuff" to. He was an old Military vet and I told him about Jesse. He sent me this very old Buck knife to give to him. He had carried it for years. I lost touch with him and don't recall his name.
I Just found it looking for an M1 carbine...which is misplaced.

I have one just like it somewhere, that I used to carry on my belt a lot. Never used it for much and it was heavy. Thinking 1960s model.

Dean found his Dad's old Skinning knife and Hatchet.

Dean has been digging all day and finally found his old KBar which he had before he left home when he was a young pup. I believe he say it had a 1923 patent.

I thought l recognized the Buck 110. I too used to wear one belted daily. Just ran across it 2 wks back. I did replace the leather carrier after quite a few years off ebay. A new one but a good chance less quality leather as it began wearing way too soon compared to the original.
Its funny as belt wgt doesn't bother me. Steel framed Commander w 230s & 185s, 9 total w McCormick 8 rd mags is my daily wear. I just don't notice it. When l decide and or chance across a single mag pouch, that will be added.

My Dad's old "Marble" hunting knife, it hasn't been used in many years, but it is a prized possession of mine. I try to keep the sheath cleaned up for it just because.

I don't own a fixed blade skinning knife. @George Foster posted a photo of that nice knife and I recalled I have one that "Looks" similiar.
It is an USMC Fighting knife that made the trip thru the Pacific and back.
It's PAL R36. Not worth much, maybe $50 or $60.
George's knife looks a lot better but here's a photo.

Probably a knife you bought if you couldn't get a K-Bar or Case XX.
