I love everything about Fred Bear but I am not a collector.I shoot green Bear heads and have a couple of Bear bows and killed my first deer with a K-mag.I have seen pics of his kit from I think in the 70's Knife,File and Stone all enclosed in a nice sheath and always felt like it was a nice bowhunting acc.Fast forward a few weeks ago looking at the sponser class.I see a sheath brand new for sale by Matt Foley handle(cuboodle)I just happened to have a knife that I bought from another tradganger that would work with his kit.I sent my knife and received it today ,it is perfect.Nice quality thick leather,great sewing and a very usable tool which I will use for it's intended purpose.I know the collectors may Po-Po as not orginal but if I had an orginal I would not be able to use it and I will use this one.Kip
 
 
 
Matt is a great guy to work with and has talent.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Matt's Bowhunter's Kit is great stuff. Myself and a friend now have them and I wear mine all the time. Fred had this designed for a purpose. Enjoy. TM

Looks like a Puma brand knife. I used to have one but it's somehow been misplaced.   :knothead:
Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

Kip, That's great and a really nice looker. I've got a repo also and I'm just as tickled with it as you! The great thing is you can use it everyday and not feel like you're abusing history!
I would've taken better care of myself,if I'd known I was gonna live this long!

That is a nice combo. I really like the file handle. I'd like to know how that was done. I tried a piece of curly maple for one of my files, but not quite...

That is nice looking and a great tribute to Fred Bear.
I saw one today while hunting my way.
 It sparks in me the thrill to hunt tomorrow's day.

My handles are done in three pieces I cut the tang shape out of the middle section and glue all three slabs back together after sanding.

Thanks for the nice comments. I like must wanted a user and couldn't see shelling out collector prices for a set that I wouldn't want to take afield.
