Custom Knives At Work.

My son and I got back from a pig hunt a week ago. Spent 2 days down in East Tx. We dropped 4 hogs. Unfortunately I did not get any cutting shots. Too difficult in the dark. Here are the hogs.

First hog we took backstraps and rear hams using my spyderco folder and the guides small fixed blade from Wal-Mart. Both went dull fairly quick. The next 3 were done using my new frame style backpackers knives in S35VN. One for me and one for my son. The double we did backstraps and rear hams again. The last hog we took backstraps and both front shoulders and rear hams plus the hide. Our host wanted a nice fat sow to render the fat. Just what we delivered, she had an inch of fat on her. They went through all 3 hogs with no need for sharpening. A minor touch-up brought them right back to sharp.

Lots of fun to shoot too. 300blackout suppressed and subsonic. These belonged to the guide. I have a couple but did not want the hassle of flying with ar' s and a can when we had to come back through Calif on the way home.

Understood!

That's exactly the setup I want for HD.
 
Hey now ever since Arnold our Peoples Republik has been spelled with a K. Nice pigs!
 
Just finished up a set of special order carvers. A new casino opened up just over the border in Wa State. One of the restaurants emailed me about making some dramatic carvers. Well after a bit of back and forth they accepted and the project was on.

These are 12" blades of S35VN steel. Handle material is all stabilized wood. I know not the best for restaurant environment but that's what they wanted.

Had their logo laser etched on the blade. Here is the first cut on the Al Pastor BBQ.

This was Sunday. I carried my Tony Bose fixed blade, Gary Crowder trapper and the work horse for the day was a fillet knife I made last year.

Thanks A.C. most of the time two limits, 60 fish, will fill 2 gallon bags. These were very healthy fish and it took three. I am supposed to be cooking for the in-laws this weekend so some will be put to use soon.

Gotcha, I do remember the fillet knife you made, I am still in the process of making mine, first attempt...not so good, blade got too thin and heat treat killed it. That fixed blade is really nice.
