Title: Does your hunting knife match your bow ?
Post by: Pine on September 23, 2016, 06:23:00 PM
The bowier that made my wife and my bow's  gave us some wood left over from the builds .
So I had these knives made to match them .

That is a fantastic idea, and even better reality, Graps!  Very nice!

Practically nothing in my kit matches anything else!  I like to think of it as eclectic!

I did this one quite few years ago.

Also did a limb T-Handle and a file unfinshed in this pic but use it now.
Rob Lee sent me the dropoffs on my bow so that is what I made.

Once upon a time I did that.

No time to even think about such things right now and the material on the handle of my Havalon or skeletonized titanium Kestrel would look   awful  in a bow riser!

I asked for the sight window cut out from my Brackenbury. My custom knife maker friend used it to make new slabs on a Buck folder.

I'm with Charlie here, but one day, I may try making a knife out of Figured Walnut.

I do have one that matches. The first custom longbow I purchased was a Northern Mist Classic. Bolivian Rosewood riser and cherry veneers. Not long after the bow arrived I had Shawn Swafford build me an Autumn Hunter with bolivian rosewood to match.

Some very sharp looking knives here. Mine has an orange handle; figure I need all the help I can get after I lay it down somewhere

Of course they have to match! Bacote scales and lams.

Yes, I had a bow handle Made of Macassar and with the leftover wood I had a knife custom made by a knife maker and exceptional longbow hunter

Well, they are both potentially deadly, but I can't prove it with a picture this year!

I have one... A Limited Edition Bocote Schafer Silvertip (#13) in Memory of Paul Schafer. It came with a beautiful matching fixed blade knife, and a large framed photo of Paul with his bow killed Grizzly.

Yep, not wood from the making of the bow, but same woods.

when I had my Cari-bow made, abe sent me the riser window cut out. I had a little skinning knife made and it turned out beautiful, even had the moose antler in the butt of the handle. On its maiden hunting trip it skinned 2 Ohio bucks, then I lost it on the trip home. must have kicked it out at a gas station. I still get sick thinking about it.

Only in its edge.

Both are sharp, however my knife is a better match for my broadheads.

Several years ago I had Norm Johnson send some of the wood he used to build my Blacktail to Doug Campbell.  This is the damascus knife he fashioned for me.
