Post your Favorite Northwoods Knife

The Northwoods Knife brand name originated in Gladstone, Michigan when a man named Dave Shirley adopted it as his knife company's name in 2004. Dave was well known for collaborating with popular knife companies to have knives made to his specifications for resale well before 2004 & beyond. KnivesShipFree bought Northwoods from Dave & has continued to team up with respected makers to produce knives marked with the Northwoods brand name.

Hard to pick one, probably the Ivory Willamette Whittler but I really like the Mammoth Esky Zulu also.

Easy for me. Whatever John here has, in whatever pattern. He'll have the coolest looking one around for sure. Wow those are incredible.

Nice Northwoods DMB ! The Burnside Jack with blue bone, is it Camel or Giraffe ? And what is the red one at top of picture ? The stag Michigan jack with the EO might be my favorite of the 4 you show. I think only some of the Michigan jacks have the EO ?

$8000 for 6 knives = ~ $1333 per knife ! :shock:
Are Northwoods knives actually selling for prices this high ?
I know a few have sold for ~ $1200-$1400 but surely this is not the average price for a Northwoods ?
