Fred Bear push dagger

[Jason Fry]

I’ve got a major Fred Bear project coming, but in the meantime I put together this cute/dangerous little guy.

The handle is made from parts of a 1959 bear Alaskan “Halloween” bow. The little ferrule is a piece of a bear wood arrow, with the logo. And of course a vintage razor head.

I tend to not just post finished stuff, but this is archery related, fairly outside the box, and you guys are welcome to copy the basic design.

Super cool work! Very unique

That's a cool tribute to an archery legend.

The guys on the fred bear FB pages collect all things Fred Bear. They would be fighting over those.

They are lol. I posted one of these on one of the Fred Bear FB pages, I think I could make quite a few and sell them no problem. The truth is though, there’s only one logo like that on each bow. I could make lots of them out of bow material, but not that many that were that colorful or had good text.

If you use and make enough of those from bows, that bow line could become more valuable.

The trick is to find people that give you their broken bows that aren’t good for anything LOL. I have enough respect for things not to cut up a shootable bow.

That is super cool. I’m excited to see the rest of the project

[Jason Fry]

Y’all talked me into 6 more lol. Various parts of a ‘60 Kodiak and a ‘59 Alaskan. Maybe this one will go WIP after all.

Is that head a Zwicky Eskimo minus the bleeders?

Bear Razorhead minus the bleeders.

Bunch of handles laminated up and drilled. Had to use a 3/8 which is a smidge big, but I don’t have a 23/64 drill or mill. The arrows seem to be .350”.

Now comes another dirty part…. Grinding. That 60 year old fiberglass still releases the classic resin smell when you grind it, and little slivers make you itch.

Got them all polished to 400 and glued the arrows/heads in.

Also today is Fred Bear’s birthday.
