Northwoods 3 Blade Sowbelly
Here's one I just received from XXCASEXX {MIKE} . Thanks Mike!
This one has Smooth Red bone handles and was made by Queen for KSF we think in early 2016.

Re: Northwoods 3 Blade Sowbelly
Greg, i have been watching the Northwoods brand from soon after Derrick got ownership and i do not recall a Sowbelly Stock knife. There were some Queen made Northwoods Stock knives during the Dave Shirley time. I have one with mammoth handles. Are you sure it is a KSF Northwoods ?

Re: Northwoods 3 Blade Sowbelly
I remember Mike's sale thread for this knife. One of the photos that Mike posted was a dealer photo that had "Knivesshipfree" written in the bottom corner of the picture.kootenay joe wrote:Greg, i have been watching the Northwoods brand from soon after Derrick got ownership and i do not recall a Sowbelly Stock knife.

Re: Northwoods 3 Blade Sowbelly
Yes Mike said he bought it in early 2016 and he did use a KSF dealer photo.

Re: Northwoods 3 Blade Sowbelly
Interesting because there is no picture of it in the KSF Northwoods Archive which is supposed to be complete from when Derrick took over the brand in ~2010.
There was a Queen made Northwoods Indian River Jack in 2016 as well as the Bear Lake Jack also Queen made.
KSF did have some of the knives left over from the Dave Shirley era which finally sold out only recently. I bet your knife is one of these.

It could very well be. Mike did say it was a Dave Shirley knife and he got it in 2015. My mistake.kootenay joe wrote:Interesting because there is no picture of it in the KSF Northwoods Archive which is supposed to be complete from when Derrick took over the brand in ~2010.

Re: Northwoods 3 Blade Sowbelly
I like the Queen made Sowbelly both 3 and 5 blade. Queen also made these for Moore Maker and with a Winchester branding. If you see the 1999 Moore Maker 5 blade Sowbelly, yellow bone handles, it's a good one to get.
Of all these, the above Northwoods takes first prize for "Best Bone".
Now i will have to look for one of these Northwoods.

Re: Northwoods 3 Blade Sowbelly
Cletus that is a dandy. It looks like what I've seen in some other Dave Shirley patterns that was being called Italian jigged bone. Great catch on the sow belly!Cletus Awreetus wrote:Greg, man I've been admiring that knife of yours from the day you posted it! finally scored me one to add to my ever-expanding Pig collection.
