Quite an embelleshed take on the Hugh Glass story ,but a fun movie. The bear was rather fake but oh well.

The knife Glass finishes Fitzgerald with in the movie was American made , and still probably available from the same maker.
Various names are given similar knives but knife with eyes is one I like. So called due to the large brass rivets/washers on the handle scales.
Attributed to Hudson Bay types ,but rumors exist of a Euro import during the fur trade too.
While northwoodsmen depended on the axe ,Why not a couple knives too?
The knife Glass used , many others used for a variety of tasks.
No perfect tool ,as a variety of axe ,small knife and large knife are better...The one tool debate puts such a knife into the choices.

One early description was that of a narrow cleaver with a rounded end.
 

RC there was another movie like this in the ‘70s. My uncle took us to see it. Brother I can’t think of the name of it.......Ahhhh yes, Man in the Wilderness! Let me see if I can find anything.....
 

Here it is— I loved this movie as a kid!!



Enjoy

Very Revenant like

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep

AHA!

Remember the jack with the broken handle that I spoke of last Friday?

Well, ole Scotty finally figured out how to post pictures!
(Don't ask me how I did it; I pushed more buttons than you would find on the space shuttle! LOL!)

Anywho, here's what awaited me....
