The knife is by KA Swearingen of Las Cruces, NM. His website:

http://www.swearingenknife.com/index.html

The model pictured is his Elk Hunter II. 5" forged & differential tempered 5160 blade with convex edge. It will clean several deer before it needs resharpening.

I also bought this one last year from him, it's his "Der Kamp Knife" with a full tang handle, a mashup of two of his standard models.

I am semi-okay at knife sharpening; he is an artist at sharpening. smile

Well that turned into an expensive damn question...
Thanks for the info!


If it has whipped cream and chocolate drizzles on it, it’s dessert. Grow up and get a coffee damnit

Unless one is an absolute 'puzzy' the 45/90 is a great choice especially for LR events! Blackpowder doesn't kick anyway; just pushes!

Geeez!!

have two Shiloh #1 Sporters, 50-70 and 45-70. I like them both but suggest the 45-70 for most hunting.
If you plan to shoot smokeless powder, the 45-70 probably makes more sense also. I shoot smokeless 100%, much to the chagrin of many.
For sure shotgun butt
I like their wood and got better wood and AA finish
Pewter forend tip looks nice to me
Get a good quality tang sight, like MVA
I asked Kirk from Shiloh what sights to get for hunting, he said a good tang and Beech front sight
