I started gathering (different from collecting) knives about 15 years ago. I really like Marbles Knives as they have a great history and were made here in MI.
But when it's time to go into the woods I take these two.
One is a Western with some Elk Ivory inset into the handle.
The other is a custom made by a friend of mine, the handles are Elephant Ivory with an elk carved in the handle.
If you notice both knives and sheths are left handed.

Depends on the gun I am using. Like to carry a knife made in the same time frame as the gun I am using. Most guns I hunt with are vintage. Kinda fond of a early 50's "Morseth" though. GW

I'm a pretty simple guy, so I carry a pretty simple knife - Buck Vanguard wood handle. It has served me well.

I used to carry an Edge Brand 6" stag-handled Bowie (I bought it while in college) until someone told me it was worth more than the rifle I was using.

GW STONE model D.Not fancy like his Diana,but hell for stout.
Phenolic handle,fits my hand. Bought it 1978. He was really
nice to a young dumbass,but I think also proud his knife would
get an early start in a hunters' life. Bob

A trio of Ingram's. Unlike Pop's (ole_270), I'm not scared to get a little blood and fat on mine. Hopefully they'll get some elk blood on them next week.

Bird and Trout, semi, and #1 droppoint, all with desert ironwood an d mosaics.

Bob Dozier's of various sizes and shapes for the job at hand or personal whim... fine knives.

Wow. I'm impressed. I would not have attempted that. I looked on ebay before your reply and saw a couple of these compasses, new in box. I may need one.
