Hmmm, I was a little worried you didn't have enough knives.  :rolleyes:  

I'm glad you've got good taste in design!!!  That's a dandy looker.  :thumbsup:

May I ask what is the cut out and the back of the blade for?

P.S. I think Art Vincent should make a Shrew Pocket quiver with a sheath attached for this knife instead of the bow.  That looks like it would go just perfect with a Shrew Hill bow.  :archer:

It's called a "Spanish Notch". There are many speculative reasons for it, personally I think it's mostly for decorative purposes.

I do believe I saw those at your booth in Kzoo, didn't I Ron?  If it is the same ones I saw, those are very impressive and big knives.

Great looking knife Ron. Glad you put up a new thread, because I wanted to let you know that I'm having a tough time navigating your website. When I click on Shrew Bows or Quivers, nothing happens

Ron, are you close enough to the final specifications on the knife to post them? I love the design and not only do I want one, I really NEED one!
Title: Re: A new knife, another pic added
Post by: buckeye_hunter on February 07, 2012, 09:00:00 PM
Just bought a Lil' Shaver from Ron up at K-Zoo. Excellent craftsmanship and great people. You won't be disappointed in the quality. I will vouch for that! I am sure this new knife will be just as good. Especially if it is the same one that was at the booth in K-Zoo.

Title: Re: A new knife, another pic added
Post by: Ron LaClair on February 08, 2012, 08:54:00 AM
Ga.boy, the Longhunter knife has an 8" blade forged from hi-carbon 1095 steel. The Birds head handle is lightly stained bone. Overall length is 12.5" The knife was inspired by 18th century French and English style knives carried by hunters of that era.

We like the "Spanish Notch" even though it isn't correct for that style. The knife without the notch will be available for reenactors that want a more historically correct knife.

I like the knife also.  Would like to add that I too have am, having a difficult time getting anything to work on Ron's Website--not just bows and quivers but even the shrew steel link doesn't work for me---hope it gets fixed soon as I do enjoy surfing that site.

Ron, it wasn't working the other night for those two drop downs, but when I checked this morning all was working (perhaps the taskmaster got after the webmaster during the night).  :thumbsup:

I'm probably the odd man out here, but its not my style.

I like the blade patina, the handle looks too steak knifeish.

I am sure the quality is top notch.   :thumbsup:

Ron I went to check out your webpage and get an error message when I try to navigate around.

Great looking knife my friend. Looks like an impressive last line of defense.

Here's another more historically correct version of the knife. Smaller iron pins and no notch in the coil. Both styles will be available.
