Well, dammit, it looks like I’m going to put up with a lot of dumbass antler-handled knives. I think I’m going to have to fall back to my safe ground of treating Netflix’s Frontier as a fantasy show. Game of Peltries.

When they were filming The Last of the Mohicans, Daniel Day-Lewis reportedly carried a flintlock rifle around all day to develop an authentic feel for how to handle the weapon. Directors should try the same approach before they assign a fanciful weapon to an actor in a movie. “Dumbass antler handled knives” can be added to mare’s leg Winchesters and an assortment of other weaponry that wouldn’t perform well under actual use. When will they realize that audiences crave authenticity?

Hold on now, don’t be knockin’ the antler stuff until you git a broader perspektiff–they got their uses. If they git folks to git intresstid in fronteer stuff, then juss grit yer teeth an bear it. I once made a “play” tomahawke out of a deer antler for my year-old nephew for Xmas, way back when(he’s done growed up with my great nephew tagging along these days….) He also got one a them thar wretched(but immensely fashionable) Cabbage Patch Dolls as a present from someone of the in-laws(cringe), but what did MY nephew do, on his own with no prompting? To the mortifikashun of the in-laws? Yup, he IMMEDIATELY tomahawked his cabbage patch doll(with official adoption papers and the whole shameful package) with the tomahawke I gave him! That’s my boy! Blood will tell!
