We received these knives yesterday from Doug. They will be part of our live auction held Saturday night, February 7th, after our Festival banquet. I have another thread in the Trad Events forum with more info about the Festival. Everyone is invited!
Doug is a life member of the United Bowhunters of Missouri and he and his wife, Karen, send us stuff every year for our auction. His work is known worldwide and is in high demand so we feel very honored to receive examples of his art. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Campbell for a few years before he decided to be a cowboy, move to Montana and run Tom Brokaw's ranch.
Here's your chance to own a really superb piece of craftsmanship!

I have a few of Doug's knives....great guy. Always like being around him. Karen is tops as well. I miss seeing them, been way too long.
I really like the looks of Dougs neck and caper! I doubt I can do the Skype thing for the live auction so someone's going be new happy knife owner!
Doug are Karen are generous folks to a lot of great organizations! Top-notch there....
Doug has always been a great supporter for us.
These are very nice example of his work. I might have to find some extra cash to bring along to the banquet.
Thanks again Doug for these.
:archer:
Doug and Karen are two of the best folks I've ever shared time with!
Doug is seriously talented with both bow and knives, but would never acknowledge so.....awesome guy that I'm very proud to call my bud :campfire:
Make sure to look at some other UBM Festival auction items listed in the Trad Events forum. Bows, hunts, knives, leathergoods - a little something for everyone!
Sweet!
Very nice! I really like the shape of those.
Nice looking cappers with a horizontal sheath as well.
