An Ol' Moose-Skinner...
Here's my daddy's ol' Russel. Skinned and butchered lots of bull moose (and, a few cows) with this lovely instrument. You can still barely make out the Russell diamond, under just the right light.
It's still as sharp-looking as it is sharp-edged. ;-)

What a GREAT skinner! The history makes it priceless, please be sure the next inheritor knows the history and a story or two :)
Thank for sharing this one with us, I love it!

Very interesting. We have moose here in Maine, he may not have gotten the moose in Tennessee. It is nice to see a great knife actually have been used, not just collected. I wonder the approximate year he bought it. Smart man to get such a good knife.

Indeed, we did not get our moosies inTN...!
I spent a couple decades in the Last Frontier, and daddy was up there for more than thirty years... where moose tags were just an add-on to the hunting and fishing license, for residents.
We still get our moose roast and salmon steaks; but now they come courtesy of Alaska Airlines, along with our occasional visitors from back home. ;-)
