SK,

I really like that one.  The shields are very clear and the blades look well loved

Happy Canada Day weekend everyone. Here's a  special little knife for the occasion. It was made by Boker and dates to the very early 1900s (patn 1907). The sterling silver scales depict the 9 provincial shields as they existed at the time. Some have changed in design since then. They are arranged from left to right in order of joining the confederation (photo 1). Alberta and Saskcatchewan being the most recent additions and, of course, it would be quite sometime before Newfoundland and Labrador became the 10th province.

The link above for the WCKA takes you to "Knife Dogs" -- a really good forum for knifemakers.

Blade Forums also has a thread allocated to the WCKA

 

This is the link to the actual  WCKA - Western Canada Knife Assoc.

I had the link for the CKG - Canadian Knifemakers Guild but somehow it got corrupted.

Ron, I can't believe that a Blow Gun is banned. I have a cousin that has one and it's good fun. I can't see it as a dangerous weapon at all. Sorry to hear about all that.

The Ulu -- greatest skinning knife ever devised as well as a damn good food preparer, eating utensil and general all around cutting tool.

There are two distinct styles with many variants within each one. 

They are the dual stem (usually found around Alaska) and the single stem (usually found in the Eastern Arctic to Greenland)...How many metal stems project from the metal to join to the handle…The most common is the Greenland style.
