Tully Tusker ??

#1 Post by Tyler Atkinson » Mon Jan 14, 2013 9:07 pm

Some guys out at the club were talking about a knife that was made years ago, it was made by tusker broadheads and was said that it was a big chopper camp type knife, with a sort of gut hook on the spine for lifting stuff off the fire.

Would anyone have a picture of one or own one, are they good knife to use, i can't find a picture of one anywhere to see what they look like. are they still made.

In one of John,s hunting DVD's I remember seeing a bit on the knife and it had a thread sticking out the end
of the handle to screw a digital camera on for taking game photo's.

No longer made either but nothing a custom knife maker could not do - for a price

No worries - are you thinking of making something similar?
