Northern Pike Fillet Knife

[RickB]

Here's a knife I finished that's a keeper. I was unable to post photos of it while the board was down. Found a broken, barkless
cedar branch that looked  like a fish last summer and finally knapped a blade that made for a perfect match. Hard to see but the
obsidian (which I traded for) has some wavy, rainbow colored bands. Photos taken indoors under an incandescent light.

Super nice knife, Rick!  All the way around.  I can see those waves, gorgeous work.  The handle is great.

Very nice. You did come up with the right combination.

Man, I love me some northerns! I like how they dance on the end of the line and the way they lay on a plate!

And now I can say they make a great knife handle!

Great looking knife. That handle really does look like a pike.

Funny thing. When we catch the small ones we always called the hammer handles.

My brother in N Dakota took us on a northern fishing trip into Canada a few years back. I caught a 19 pounder using a red and white spoon.

Love going fishing for pike in Canada.

A bunch of us use to go every year until the place we went closed.

One year one of them caught a “hammer handle “ and while he was reeling it in 42” pike attacked it. He fought hard and reeled them both in. We netted them and the 42” pike wasn’t even hooked. It just wasn’t going to let go of the little one. Pretty crazy.

I sure do miss going there.

I wonder how many red and white DareDevle knock-off lures I bought, used, and lost as a kid in North Dakota Lord knows I couldn't afford the genuine articles!
