Pretty sure this is a Michigan knife. I purchased it in about 2004. Sadly, it is gone. Behring-1 by Bill Singer, on Flickr

I believe that is a Jim Behring not a James Jr. knife.

Yes, Mr. Polidori. Apologies. Didn't understand we were talking of James Jr. I wasn't sure if Jim Sr. had moved to Montana also. Both are making superior knives.

No apologies necessary. Jim is still in Michigan. There something of both Jim Sr. and James Jr in that recent lot.

Thanks Tom,
The tip is oriented so it curves around the back of your hand. It feels so natural when you pick it up, James did a great job.

Warren, all the knives you posted are great... but that whale tooth is really something special! I have not seen one like that before.
I have found James' Michigan forged knives to be a exciting niche to collect as they are limited and do not surface often. Here is a pair of "early MI" crown stag knives I picked up a few weeks back... they are paired with the old school Mosher sheaths.
Have a good week fellas,
Jay

I believe Chief had several whales teeth that James used to make these knives. Those are great examples of old school knives. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the comments. I'm really happy to have added these to my Behring collection. James told me he made about 20 of the 4" and 7" knives so they're out there somewhere. I'm hoping others might post them as well.

These Michigan camp combos by James are rare birds. This old school set is exceptional. Mosher leather of the day.

This must be an early one - James stamped his mark on this blade upside down. (Usually you only do this once.)

Hard to see the stamp but if its a "J Behring Handmade" stamp it's a Michigan knife. I have one that was forged recently that's a BMK/ Mudbone stamp also upside down.

These aren't from Michigan - done when James first moved to Montana. This is the first fork James ever made, - thought you might appreciate it. I bought the knife, 4 1/2" blade, and it was so beautiful I pictured it carving up a 2" thick porterhouse, - so I really needed a fork. - A few emails & conversations resulted in this pair. Beautiful cocobola.

Hey Guys,
This is a great thread with some rare knives. I have enjoyed collecting James' MI made knives. Here's a picture of what I've come up with so far... It's a fun niche to collect.
Have a great week,
Jay

I like the old Woodcraft design. James called this one an Alaskan Woodcraft. The other one I had pictured turned out to be an early Montana woodcraft with a Mosher sheath, I removed that picture.

I did notice that. The blade reminiscent of the old Marbles Woodcraft. Nice pair for sure.

That's right, the Model 71 in.348 was the real Alaskan rifle n it's day. Nice one.

Hey guys, I'll post better pictures once the package arrives, but just scored this musk ox boss from James' Michigan days in a trade. Can't wait to get it in! Really fun niche of knives to collect. Look forward to catching-up with many of you next month. Have a good week, Jay
