Customer Testimonial

I recently received this customer testimonial:

Lee

A year or so ago I bought a couple of knives from you that I had seen on Accurate Reloading. Finally got a chance to put one of them to work. My son and I have been hunting blacktails in western Washington for 20+ years and my son was successful again this year. Attached is a picture of his blacktail buck he shot the second weekend of the season. We gutted and skinned the deer with one of your Small Drop Point Hunters and the knife worked to perfection keeping a razor sharp edge throughout. You make a really nice knife and I've got two of them.

A New Drop Point Hunter

Here's a new design. It's a modification of my Large Drop Point Hunter.

Blade length is 3 5/8", overall length is 7 3/4". The handle on this one is natural Mircarta with red liners and mosaic pins.

I have also modified my Semi-Skinner in the same manner and will post an example when it is completed. If you are  interested in purchasing a custom knife, I can be reached at baumgartknives@gmail.com

Customer Photos

The knife pictured below and it's owner have been featured in several older posts on this blog. This time he kindly sent me photos of his daughter's first bear taken in Utah. The proud dad was called in to skin the bear and act as a packer. The knife was certainly put to good use. Congratulations on a wonderful bear!

Current Inventory

I generally work from customer orders and don't carry any inventory. When I do have a little time to make knives between orders, they go pretty fast.

I currently have two semi-skinners available. The blades of both of these knives are 1/8" high carbon tool steel. Blade length is approx. 3 1/2" and overall length is approx. 7 1/2".  The first knife features a black micarta handle with red liners and silver thong tube and pins. The second has a Desert Ironwood handle, red liners, and brass thong tube and pins.

BOTH KNIVES ARE SOLD..

New Knife Model

It's been a while since my last post. Since the last post I have been attending the monthly Oregon Arms Collector shows http://oregonarmscollectors.com/ held near the Portland airport and attended the 26th annual Castle Rock Cartridge Collectors show. My wife didn't believe there was such a thing as a cartridge collectors show! Tell that to the guys spending $500+ on a box of UMC Sharps cartridges. I am, however, not one of those guys and my only purchase at the show was a copy of Cartridge Reloading Tools of the Past from Tom Chamberlain's table.

Most importantly, I have been designing a few new knifes. One of which is pictured below. This knife is a replacement for my original bird and trout/caping knife. It features a blade with less drop than the original. Overall length of the knife is 7 3/8". The blade is high carbon O1 tool steel, 3 3/8" long. Blade depth is 3/4". The handle is Desert Ironwood with red liners and mosaic pins. Included with the knife is a hand stitched 8/9 oz leather sheath.

THIS KNIFE IS SOLD.

Snakewood and Steel

This is the first knife I have handled with Snakewood. After working with this wood I believe it is equal to Desert Ironwood in terms of hardness and durability. This knife is my Semi-Skinner and the blade is O1 steel. This knife is available for $225.00 shipped and I can have it to you before Christmas.

THIS KNIFE IS SOLD

More Customer Photos

I really enjoy seeing photos of customer's hunts and knowing my knives are out in the field being used. Here are a couple of customer photos taken from very different places on the globe.

From Africa...

The knife that was used to remove this bull elephant's tail, an old tradition signifying ownership of the animal, is my Large Drop Point Hunter. This particular knife has Desert Ironwood handles. The customer shared that his Professional Hunter was impressed with the knife's performance. Here's a link to the story of the hunt and some wonderful photos.

And from Texas...

A beautiful Texas whitetail. The knife in the photo is my Semi-Skinner and is also handled with Desert Ironwood. Here is a link to the post involving this knife.
