Bark River Knife & Tool HUDSON BAY CAMP KNIFE & SHEATH! U.S.A. MADE! N.I.B.! Get it while you can! (I don't think that this model is still in production). Green Canvas Micarta Brass Bolts The Hudson Bay Camp Knife was the first knife in history to actually be called a "camp knife".The knife dates back to the pre-colonial days of the 1700s. The Hudson Bay Trading Company was the dominant import-export company of early North America. The colonials, frontiersmen and trappers began to ask the trading company for a large knife to be used in base camp for general camp use. They wanted a heavy knife that would slice and chop in the place of a cleaver or an ax.This was the original pattern that was developed and sold for over a hundred years as the original camp knife od North America.You will find it as valid as a "camp knife" today as it was the day it was designed. It has plenty of weight in the hand and on the blade while still having very lively quick working characteristics. Bark River made custom half inch diameter corby style brass bolts for this project. They felt it was the only way to have the knife be close to the original design and be solidly built. You will find that the weight will almost disappears due to the balance.
