Sort of OT, but following up on the "Green River Knife" part of this thread:

They still make them using this pattern. I just came across an Ontario Old Hickory "Skinner," new, on Amazon. Thought some of you might be mildly interested/amused. No affiliation.

Probably don't want them near your compass!

I bought one of those recently. Walnut handle and carbon steel blade. Made in USA and pretty good quality considering the price. www.BladeMatrix.com offers the whole line. No affiliation

The curved blade is an excellent skining shape. I was oiling the knife (the one in the posted image) to put it away yesterday and noticed something odd. The full tang carbon steel tapers and is thinner between the handle slabs than the blade itself? I am now thinking that it may have been made from an old circular sawmill blade or maybe hammer forged that way? I have owned this knife for 30 years and never noticed it before.
