BOOOO-YAAAA!! Now  THATS  A Knife!! Very Nice Ron!!  

[stujay]

Agreed that's a knife...purdy besides  

[rushlush]

Nice knife!

[Ray Lyon]

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.

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

[Ray Lyon]

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.

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

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.

[adkmountainken]

love it!

[Ron LaClair]

Yes, I'll have them on my website when they're ready.

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

[Ga.boy]

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!

[buckeye_hunter]

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.

Now that is a KNIFE,

[Ron LaClair]

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.
