Just wanted to show you guys my version of a Hudson Bay camp knife. Built for a heavy camp chores such as chopping fire wood and processing large game animals, the HBC knives were meant to be used as a lighter, more versatile tool in lieu of an axe or a hatchet. I can picture a fur trapper cutting kindling, chopping wood and skinning a bison on the same day with a knife such as this. It has an 8" long blade of 1080 steel, 13" overall with a 3/16" thick spine and a razor sharp edge.
