As a park ranger I present interpretative programs for the park service.  My favorite program is one about primitive fishing.  Over the years I’ve collected quite a few tools and artifacts and use them in my programs.

Several years ago a blacksmith friend made me this throwing hawk and crude mocotaugan.  I use them in several programs.  IMO the mocotaugan is the indispensable survival knife.  If I were to ever find myself in a serious wilderness survival situation I would want my “Moc” with me.

I like it!

Captain,
   Have you whittled out any cups or bowls?   
  That's also known as a Crooked Knife.

I've carved a spoon and I have another partially complete that I use for demonstrations.  Mainly I use it for splitting cane, heart Pine, and white Oak.  It's perfect for shaving kindling, splitting willow roots, palm fronds, and fox grape vine.  I use it for making baskets, traps, and snares.

I saw a video thirty five years ago of an Ojibwa Indian demonstrating the proper use of the Moc.  It's basically a one handed draw knife.  What amazed me was how much this fellow used his feet to hold things while he carved!

Reminds me of the old book author joke: I Fought A Tiger by Claud Balhz. Looks like you could gut a perp quick with one of those.

I would have assumed those were linoleum knives, but that bail at the back kind if gives away the fact that they're meant for use while up high somewhere.

The three hook bills top two look like the old style roofers knives I used when doing shingle work.

[Struckat]

I have some that are more expensive than this, but I always seem to end up with this one in my hand.

[bReTt]

I do this thing where I place whatever knife I have in a pose and take a picture.  This is one such picture.

[bReTt]

Another one

Those are some very knife pics, Brett!
