Elmer designed a knife for general use. Anyone who has one will say it is the best knife design for caping, gutting, and all around camp use. Guns and Ammo gave some away years ago for a subscription. In good shape, they go for BIG BUCKS. Here is a link for the current maker., He states that it is one of his most popular models. He is the man Elmer collaborated with designing it. Gil Hibben is FIRST CLASS. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

$700.00 price tag, probably won't be getting one any time soon...
Actually one of his less expensive works.

Just a note notifying the members of a return of Elmers Knife. United Cutlery is making it, and it will be available in April 2009. They told me that they will call me first on the pricing. I am going to see if I can get a special run for the Elmer Keith Memorial Website.

I agree; if I got one of those, the first thing I'd do is de-horn it. Way too much excess crap sticking out.

Gimme one of those, a bench grinder, and half an hour, and I'd make a pretty good kife!

Spurrit, I`am sure you`ve heard the expression " beauty is in the eye of the beholder "..........wish I had an extra knife to see what your "beauty" would look like in the 1/2 hour.

James, I like that wide blade, looks about perfect for tough skinning jobs like a big bear. Are those Jordan Trooper grips on that M-29 ?

To me, the beauty is in the utility of a tool. Engraved guns are nice in museums, but no good in the brush. If I hesitate to use a tool because of how it looks, it's useless.

Gentlemen, Lets not loose sight of the fact that the knives in question were designed, or follow the design made by Elmer Keith. Enough said.....
Chris, Yes....they are Jordon Troopers on the M-29.
