ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When is a knife more than a knife? Outdoor expert Zeb Casperson knows, and he tells all when he discusses fine outdoor knives from Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ North American Collection Auction in the latest edition of Auction Waves. Learn the origin, the significance, and the many practical uses of the traditional Inuit ulu knife, and discover the work of Chuck Bowen, Alaska's legendary "Knifeman" in this finely-crafted quarter hour.

Lot 1015 - a unique assortment of four Alaskan ulu knives with display stands.
Lot 1342 - a collection of three custom-made antler-handled knives in matching fine leather sheaths.
Lot 1289 - an exciting group of three custom-made precision-bladed Chuck Bowen knives that are as practical as they are beautiful, including one knife with its grip fashioned from the jawbone of a wolf.
