I have come to know Jim Behring and his son, James, quite well. They are a pleasure to do business with and make some of the finest knives (amongst other things) you will find anywhere! It is my hope that I am not alone. If this is the case, let's see some of your "TREEMAN KNIVES"!!
Best, Capt. Chris

Here's my favorite Treeman "USER". It's "Trout & Bird" measuring 3 7/8" in blade length. "Killer" stag handle and of course Jim's trademark multiple spacer configuration. I've never seen 2 exactly alike! The sheath is a traditional riveted "Mosher".
Best, Capt. Chris

Cap,

Here is a Behring "re-handle" of a Randall Model 27 done with a beautiful piece of Fossil Walrus.

Jim

Today I´ve got a small razorsharp Behring Bird & Trout from a good friend!

It was a trading with one of my older Puma knives and I´m very happy about this deal!

Great looking knife Peter.

Peter,
Very distinctive looking knife! I love that handle!!!!!
Tony

I just received this new model from Jim Behring at Treeman knives. It is the new Recon Hunter drop point. This has the CD finish and brown canvas micarta with a left-hand pouch sheath. I really like drop points and this is no exception

Peter

That Smith and your Treeman make a great pair.

Pap

Looks like a great hard use user. It should withstand anything.

I got that Recon Hunter, too!
For sure it´s a great Outdoor-user!

Very cool and a nice sheath too!

My only two..



(For now)

Here's my latest from TREEMAN KNIVES it's a 'Recon Hunter'.

No Pic shows up Rex.

Hey Rob....thanks for pointing out that you can't see my pic's...i removed them and added them again...if they're still not showing..well i goofed up somewhere. BTW I can see them on my monitor...

I can see them as well Rex.

Here is one that James made in the Montana forge...... I have not received it yet, it's out for a sheath fitting.

Check out the humpback on this fighter.

7-1/2" blade with yellow micarta.

Tune,
That is one great looking knife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony

Yeah, I can see the pics now Rex. I must have looked in the middle of your process.

I think Jim and JR are the greatest! Jim is a crusty old fart - a lot like ole Billy Scagel - and don't mess with him during hunting season! Jim is a master craftsman beyond words! AND JR is a jewel - learned from the best and a SUPER guy and bladesmith! A new poppa too! They both have a big heart for the guys in uniforms!
Do I like their work???

Here's a few more Treeman / Behring jewels....

Treeman workmanship is impeccable and second to none. Wonderful collection. Nice display cabinet too.

....Todd, I discovered that after my first TREEMAN knife...and the 2nd..and 3rd, well... you know what I mean !

No doubt about it Rex. Say is that a Trout and Bird? (LOL)
Just kidding, nice photo, and just love that classic blade.

Hi Guys,
please put me also in the "TREEMAN NUTTS" list !
Sorry if, actually, I cannot show any pics of....
I promise to you...I'll do my job...later on!
Promised!
Happy New Year
Guido

I am also a fan of Treeman knives made by both Jim and James. I can also attest to their capability in the field. The one pictured with the S&W dressed out the deer brought down by that weapon.

I'm Treeman Family addicted too !
Here some of my last acquisitions...

Guido,
Good to see ya' back! I'm out the door, on my way back to Bama. What's the capital "P" stamp stand for? Some type of "Prototype"?
Nice. Capt. Chris

Guido, those are some fine knives! I really enjoy the contrast on the stag handles and the unique sheaths. I've been contemplating my first Treeman purchase...

Guido,
BELLISSIMO!
Tony

I think it means "Perfection". I have a few of his as well as his assistant. Does anyone actually use these beauties?

Pap

Outstanding pics of beautiful blades, Guido! I do have a difficult time not carrying and cutting something with a knife that just feels so good in the hand. When I told James that after I received it his response was, "use it man!--That's what it's made for"! They look no worse for wear. I'll continue to try and improve my photo skills.

Guido, complimenti - wonderful knives!
I think these Recon Hunters say "use me"

Best,
Peter

Thanks Guys,
One of the new Recons I will use for sure...hope so!
Not really sure about that pair !!!

Capt.you got it: "P" stands for Prototype.
The pair is Jim B. "Bo Randall" knife/prototype.
Three sets each size by JR, three by Jim Sr

Guido, Great pair, i have one as well, for those not familiar with these they were meant to aproximate the apperance of Bo Randalls first knives that were influenced by Scagel. Notice the arrow on the sheath similar to Bo's early sheaths. Regards

Well...here is my latest Behring knife, it is from James' forge in Montana. James call's this a 'Wood Craft' design..and as usual the wormanship is flawless...the handle is 'old yellow micarta.

Rex,
That is REALLY cool!
I love that handle design/shape, AND material.
Tony

SUPER...NICE !!!

Is the top "hump" sharpened?

Thanks Guy's for the comment's....Rob James told me that the upper clip on the 'Wood Craft' blade traditionally...is unsharpened, but he will put an edge on it if the customer ask's.....the upper clip on mine is un-sharpened.

Hey team,

I really enjoyed reading everyone's posts on this tread - great looking knives. I just received my first Treeman knife from Jim on Friday. I was thrilled when the package arrived... it’s a 3 1/8" caper with nickel silver guard, maroon spacer, and fitted with a small hippo ivory tooth handle. I hope everyone's week is off to a good start.

Jay...nice Treeman I was interested in that knife....I blinked and it was SOLD, You got a 'keeper'.

Thanks Rex!

I keep coming to see this knife. It realy gets to me. NICE

Here's one you won't see every day!

I just closed the deal with James on this bad azz cleaver!!

9" blade, fossil ivory handle.......

Can't wait to get my hands on it!!!!!!

I saw that on his website, it is an awesome looking splitting machine. Congratulations on getting such an unique piece
You may need to reenforce your cutting board.

Peter

Nice cleaver! That is one serious tool... watch your fingers!

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!
Now you can order that side of beef!

That thing is deadly. You might need a permit for that beast in some states.

That's some serious cleavage.

Hey Team,

Wanted to share a new addition - received this tough and ultra useful "Pathfinder" from Jim Behring. It feels great in the hand! They come in an assortment of options.

Enjoy the weekend,

Jay

Here is my favorite Treeman. It is one of a pair that I had James make w/custom Mosser sheath with inlays. The gun is a 1904 Parker GH grade.

Nice "everything" in that picture. Great post.

Pap

Hey Jay,
I must have missed your post from last month...tough looking knife. Cool!

Burnie,
Beautifully classic ... both!

Tony

Tony, thanks bud.

Burnie, great shot! That's a good looking Behring blade with a fine looking sheath!

Have a good weekend guys,

Jay

Top-Notch, Class A on all!

Works of Art both!

Nice Treeman and very nice Parker.

Here's a couple of my Treeman Toys! Picked up the ax at last years blade show and the trout n bird from the Captain!

The ax is an eyecatcher!!

Thanks Hans! Picked it up from a plumber from Houston. Showed it to Mr. Behring he authenticated and offered to buy it back. I responded... not trying to offend you... but I'll think I'll hold on to it! He grinned!

A couple of my personal favorites

Very nice!!

11/99

Here are a few others that seem to stay on my "Favorites" side of the safe! In some situations the double sheath could be a hinderance, thus the 2 singles!

Fantastic knives guys! I really enjoy Treeman knives, thanks for sharing.

Duke -- That caper is about as useful as they come... nice tip!

Guido -- That's as early as I've scene! Beautiful example.

Steve -- Nice pair! You don't see those sheaths very often.

Here are two of my Treeman favorites from my collection... ivory and hippo tooth.

Have a good one,

Jay

I can certainly see why they are on the "FAVORITE" side!! That's a nice combo!

Thanks Steve! Jim makes some phenomenal knives. Great pair you have there, did you custom order the snake sheaths? Is that rattlesnake or copper head?

I'd like to see some more of Jim's early knives if anyone is willing to share.

Have a good Thursday,

Jay

The sheaths came w/my purchase. Rattlesnake was mentioned, but it looks mighty close to the Copperhead that I almost stepped on Thanksgiving week in Alabama. It... is now skinned on the back patio. I'm going Copperhead. I too like the early stuff... Dreaming bout dem ole day'z!

Sorry for the slow reply lots of stuff going on! Here is the pair of treeman jr. knives that James made for my daughter Samantha and I. Her's is the little Montana T&B with the clip on Mosseer. I supplied the skins and Mosser made the sheaths. Both are of master's in there fields! The hammer hunter James made for me is still my all time favorite blade!!!!

They're rattlesnake...and made by Kenny Rowe: Hope, Arkansas.
Capt. Chris

Outstanding Burnie.
Best, Capt. Chris

Thanks for confirmation on da snakes! Don't really like either one of them when I'm in da field!

Here is a vintage Randall "kit" (see the etch) blade. Low S stamp......circa '64-65..... with a custom brown micarta handle by James. A great collaboration.....

Burnie,
Great Knives!
Mitch,
That handle is Fantastic! Beautiful spacers too!

Bernie and Tune, superb Behring knives guys!

With all the talk of "pairs" in the Randall section, thought I'd share a set Jim made from fossil walrus ivory... Have a good week - Easter is around the corner,

Jay

Ahhh the lost Cousins to my Treeman Double Crown Stags previous page.... Very Nice set. Are the top pieces of the handle Ivory???

Hey Steve, thanks man! The top spacers are fossil as well.

Have a good one,

Jay

The very first mini hatchet made by Jr.
Same for the horse hoof tool...

Nice hatchet!!! Wish it were mine! Went to a good home and hope you enjoy!

Thanks Tony And Capt. I've had a few knives that were just what I wanted!! This pair was in that group! yea I know it's a sickness!!!!

Sorry Burnie, terrible sorry, I shouldn't disclose your name on Jr.'s letter.
I beg your pardon Sir.
Really.

Cool Hoof tools, Nice stag and nice sheaths.

Guido no problem at all. Hope you enjoy my friend.

Hey Team,

Here are a couple "paired" Treeman and Behring Made knives. Their stag really pops...

Thanks,

Jay

Very nice "Catalog" knife !

Thanks man! I picked up the Behring Made catalog knife from Miles.

Hey Guys,

I picked up a "Big Bo Randall" by big Jim Behring Sr... it's a monster knife! Thought I'd share - have an enjoyable weekend,

Jay

Oh yeah, that's a really nice one!!!

Pap

Awesome knife!

Looks like a keeper.

Beautiful! Those Treeman guys do terrific work! Mine's a bab y compared to that one.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Steve, Ha, well played and great photo! That is a slick knife and '53 bill you have there.

Have a good week,

Jay

2 dollar bills lets go to the track.
