Liver Eating Johnson was a real life mountain man during the 1900's, and also the inspiration for the 1972 movie Jeremiah Johnson starring Robert Redford.

Wow, what a piece!

 

[-ItsJustMe-]

Mächtiger Klopper, zum Bäume fällen und Grizzlys "entasten"...

Mir persönlich wärs etwas zu gross bei feineren arbeiten, aber ich denke mal der alte Mountain-Man hatte bestimmt noch 1 bis 2 kleinere dabei.
Ein paar Massangaben wären evtl. noch hilfreich...

Tolles Teil!
