Bark River Knife and Tool: Hudson Bay

The Hudson Bay Camp Knife was the First Knife in History to actually be Called a "Camp Knife".
The Knife Dates Back to the pre-Colonial Days of the 1700s. The Hudson Bay Trading Company was the Dominant Import-Export Company of Early North America. The Colonials, Frontiersmen and Trappers began to ask the Trading Company for a Large knife to be used in Base Camp for General Camp use. They wanted a heavy knife that would Slice and Chop in the place of a Cleaver or an Ax.
