Title: Bear Quest Necker
Post by: fatman on September 30, 2009, 09:43:00 PM

Not a lot of real skill here, but it was fun and will serve as a wonderful reminder of a terrific hunt with TradGangers in Quebec.

Blade is a Helle Polar that I purchased last year at MoJam;  I'd been waiting for the "perfect" handle material.  Glued the blade in a piece of bear leg bone.  Artificial sinew was wrapped into a layer of epoxy, then coated w/ epoxy...kind of like tying a fly...

Wow!  Very nice!  I like the size, looks to be very handy and efficent when reaching up inside a chest cavity field dressing!  Love the sheath design too!  

Thanks for sharing!
