When your wife says “Review me a Moose”

When your wife says “go use this knife”

For those that followed it, I have been trying to get Donnie to use a few knives he thought would be collectibles. Next in line for this is the Tuna Valley Moose. Overall the fit and finish of the knife was quite well done. No gaps or spaces and some fantastic fitting burnt stag.

Steel is 154CM,polished finish
Handle is Burnt Stag
the clip blade length is 2 7/8 inches
the spear blade is 2 7/8 inches
Closed length of the knife is 3 7/8 inches

The daily chores when remodeling a house mean you need your knife for all sorts of endeavors. This knife, although not my typical style, managed a wide variety of tasks. Cut some trim, trimmed crown moldings, opened bags, cut insulation. Just the regular everyday chores.

The Moose was heavier in my pocket than normal carry, a very stout knife. The springs and blades were tight and the edge retention was great. I did have to sharpen it before using but this is something I do with most knives anyway. The half stops are great and the snap is excellent. It fits well in your hand, big enough to get a good grip on and the burnt stag is tailored enough for it to fit just right.

What didn't I like....well not having a different blades. I prefer when I am trimming to have a thinner blade. But I did know it was a Moose when I picked it up, so that cannot be a fault of the knife!

My overall impression of the knife was better than expected. The pattern is not one I would have chosen as an EDC. I did think I would only carry it a couple of days and that would be that. I can honestly say this knife will go on more jobs. It looks nice and handles itself very well in an EDC situation.

SMKW sells a cheap made in china sheath. Woodman's pal sheath It might be on amazon also. Cost $5. I tossed in as part of larger order (on a$5 flat rate night) It's pretty flimsy but I dissected it and used it as a pattern for the one I made.

You can also buy leather and canvas sheaths from Woodman's Pal. They are also available on Amazon. They go for $20-$40 but they are quality, Made in USA sheaths.

Yea guys, that Woodsman Pal has been a Clearer type tool for many years now. It's great you can adjust and make things to suit your own needs. The Pal, is a little to heavy for me know days. I am a bit disabled, now days I use a 15" knife that was made for me. The knife on the main page of the Carbon Steel Group, is the one I use. It might be on my personal also. I needed something litter but that would still getter done..LOL
