For whatever reason, I would have thought he'd
have used a 2 bladed folding hunter, like Case
and KBar and Schrade and all those old companies
used to offer before the Buck 110 changed the
game. An uncle used to carry those starting when
he was in the Navy in Alaska back in the 50's and
60's. Him and some other sailors hunted ( poached)
game when they could slip away from whatever
they were supposed to be doing.
IIRC he said he initially had a Case, and later on
started with Schrades. I do remember that when
he was getting on towards the end of the road, he
had those Old Timer folder with the brass liner
lock.
I guess me thinking about them shooting the
white colored sheep and using those type of
knives kinda got mixed around with JOC hunting
( most likely legally) the sheep he hunted made
me kinda think that he probably used a slip
joint folder larger than a standard trapper or
similar
