Anyone have one of these laying around. Wish I did

That's from a fundraiser we had with Dunn Knives. I think the proceeds were split between NTA and FTA. Steve made up 25 of them, I think and had them presold. I don't recall the price, but I think it was $100 apiece or there abouts.

If they make another put my name on one.

I never seen that one before And I have a medical condition that cause me to look for knives to buy that I never intent to use to cut anything I have no idea how many knives I have (not enough ) but maybe about 5 % are actually used for their intended propose . For example Paul you state that it was made by Dunn's Custom Knives . And than mention Steve Most likely most know that Melvin Dunn was the founder of his company After making some really sharp knives he sold his business to Steve Green and no one questions Steve continuing the legacy of Dunn's knives . And I have two that I bought from Melvin quite a uber of years ago And after Steve took over I also got one from him. My guess is I may have used the 3 to skin maybe total of a dozen animals over the 20 t 30 years I owned them I can say without question I will now be looking for the one pictured by Turtledale And at $10.00 each that was a very reasonable price when they where first made available for sale My guess is paid about that for the first Dunn made knife I got and maybe about 115 for the second one and the third one was a minker (a smaller knife ) made by Steve that was about $85.00 Thanks guys you gave me something to covet for a little while I know we are not supposed to covet things that are not ours but so long as you don' do anything immoral or illegal with it not wrong to look at it and wish it was yours Thanks to both of you for posting about something I did not know about but sure am glad to learn about of this afternoon I can see why you had no trouble selling then all That one sa very nice knive

I have knives that dad got from Melvin. I recall dad saying that one broke when it dropped on the concrete floor, and when dad told Melvin about it, Melvin insisted on giving him one to replace it. A couple of those Dunn beaver knives of dads are very well worn. They even still have some beaver blood residue on them from the last time dad used them to skin beavers.

Guys is Steve Greene still alive?

I believe he is - http://www.dunnknives.com/about-us-1/

They sure are good knife, hold a good edge to.

Paul I recall being at PA Trappers Convention a number of years ago now Your dad. and Melvin Dunn where located near to each other It was mid morning s things where busy all around Your Dad was answering questions and selling supplies for trap mod Your Dad had all kinds of obscure items that he had found a new purpose for If I am thinking of the same thing he even took pipe cut it in short pieces and drilled holes to create his own swivels If your Dad got onto and idea he found a way to make it happen thats for sure .Anyway your was DAD holding down the booth he was in with 6 to8 would be customers gathered around .Within a few yards of where you Dad was working his magic was Melvin Dunn He did not have as many customers as your DAD but he was educating those who where interested in how to get one of his D2 steel knives really sharp Melvin made many f his knives with D2 steel It was a hard material to put an edge on . Melvin stood behind his work and any knife he made he would sharpen for free That was an offer many of his knife buyers took him up o .on .Melvin had the proper tools and he also knew how to get the edge he was looking for . So as he finished sharpening the knife he placed a sheet of newspaper between his index finger and thumb just holding one corner of the paper Holding the knife in his hand he smoothly craved a fish pattern out of the paper he was holding It was cut not torn and it looked like tt was as close to being in proportion to what a fish would look like And it was like TIME STOPPED BREIFLY AS EVERYONE was suddenly seeing what Melvin had just. done. It only makes sense that your DAD and Melvin would do business With your Dad spending his trapping time on the road he often ed remarked in his story telling about skinning into the late night hours Havin a knife that was sharp and stayed that way was as important as any other equipment he needed Thanks for the small glimpse into a part of the everyday things that become the fabric of success. That is a really nice knife I wish had been on Ta when they where sold I have a number of knives relating to the FTA ,NTA PA T And a few other ones Like I said it is incurable and it make no sense to buy a knife you re not planning to cut anything with .

I have one of these knives, number 7, and very lucky to get it, they were all sold with in the day it was put up !

Have it one of my curio cabinets, only comes out of there to look at very seldom !

My birthday falls on the number 7 Maybe that is a sign that you have been holding it for me until the right time comes along If you are concerned it will get to much light I AM CERTAIN W CAN REACH AN UNDERSTADNG ONTHAT ISSUE .

Here are a couple of dad's knives. That beaver skinner is worn from untold numbers of beavers he skinned with it. He modified it by putting an edge on the top forward part of the blade. He used that part for skinning around the boney head area so he didn't have to change knives.

Isn't the NTA annual convention in Escanaba, MI this year ? I'm presently traveling through the U.P. and stopped at an awesome knife shop (Rapid River Knife Works) about 12-15 miles north of Escanaba on Hwy 2.
For those of you who appreciate quality knives, you may want to check this place out

I talked to Steve Green a few minutes ago. He's alive and kickiing, but not real high. He's been in and out of the hospital with blood clots. He said he thinks he has a handle on it now, and he may be getting back in the shop this week and start making knives again. It was good talking with him.

Melvin had built a strong reputation of a quality line of knives when he starting making knives for general sale to the public Before the days of the internet face book and social media Dunn's knives was well known And it shows that when Steve Greene purchased the business and it never missed a beat that show he was every bit the craftsman plus business man to continue the reputation of the company The knife pictured.in the original post still gets ooohs and aaaahs from tose in the know about the product And even more importantly would out preform much of what is now considered to be the most outstanding super duper item ever created .Tutledale you mde my day bt posting tat picture of that knife Even if I can't have it I like how it looks

Me too w side Rd 151. If he gets up and running maybe you and me can both get him to make us one! If you check in with him in the future, shoot me a p.m. I would definitely be in on one

Awesome knives
