It is likely called a Moose because a moose has large antlers on each side of its head, where a knife of the same name will have a full-sized blade on each end of the knife, as opposed to a smaller secondary blade. Two big blades = Two big antlers of the namesake. Compared to a muskrat, which has a slim clip blade on each end for skinning said muskrat animal. Funny how things get named .....

Most knife names have been cobbled together and become canon from various sources since the 70's, when knife collecting took off. Remington called their muskrat a "trapper" in the 30's. Some old gents I trapped with in the 80's still called them that.

Went to the Badlands in South Dakota today. Had my favorite knife with me.

These days, knives not quite in alignment with "Levine's" are considered Moose patterns. Who's to say whom the ultimate arbiter of the truth is?

Something about the moose pattern, it can't be just because I'm a moose hunter,it more about the blades on the moose.
