Any of You Have a Knife Shopping List?

LT Wright Lagoom.
That’s it right now.
Now my firearm wishlist is another story.

NICE!!

My firearm wishlist is... well, it's somewhere between one and two hands long.
But could probably be whittled down to one or two practical first choices. There's literally nothing I *need*, as I've barely been shooting, and I have all the local hunting hardware I can use except a bow (NOT THAT RABBIT HOLE!!).

I just received two more sheath adapter and dangler attachments from Sagewood. Finally a plausible carry arrangement for the American Leuku too! Plus a spare for some unknown future thing. Turns out it works for both pack and belt. He does great stuff. Could I build the same thing? Yes. But he's got the good hardware, leather, worked out the patterns, keeps the 1/8" kydex in stock, etc. SO worth it. Maybe a pic shortly.

A couple pix of the thing itself over here at the end (somebody else bumped this one recently!):

And one for you guys. Yeah, I put it on lefty so it could use the belt loop. Figure I'd carry something smaller like usual on the right, or if I ever lived a life where I carried a pistol, it would be on the right. Anyone want to come paint my house? You know, at a distance....:

I am trying to restrict myself to one firearm per caliber. That is unless i run across a good deal, or if i build it myself, or if its kinda rare, or if i really really want it, or if....

I went from shooting every day after work to moving across country and now shooting like 4 times a year. Yet i keep buying guns

There are only two more items on my knife shopping list (actually, I'm trying to decide between these two):
- Bark River Mini Fox River in 3V
- Lon Humphrey Tarpon in 3V

I have a BK9 and BK16, both of which I enjoy using.

Interesting optimization.
I'm trying to limit my overall calibers because of the complexity of supply and/or reloading, but still want ONE rifle in 6.5x55mm.

Reloading does change the logistics. I’ll share my journey. When I was younger I wanted to own a gun in every caliber (or at least a lot of them) so I could experience them all. Then I got into reloading and got hooked on .357s and decided to simplify the reloading bench by focusing on just a few calibers like you suggest. All was well until I ended up working up different loads for different guns.

Now instead of keeping track of one load in each caliber for each gun I have to keep track of multiple different loads in the same caliber for a few different guns of said caliber.

No issues since I keep them fairly sane but when one of the really hot .357s intended for the 5” GP100 ends up in the Airweight J-frame it will really wake you up!

Yeah, that's exactly the reason I gave up my craving for a Marlin .357 lever rifle: I'd have rifle-only loads, so what's the point? I bought a .30-30 instead, rather than pushing the edge of modern ballistics to squeak .30-30 muzzle performance out of a .357 carbine.

Now my .35-cal loads look like: .38spl standard/target, .38spl+P defensive, .357 light bullet at 1000fps, .357 heavy bullet at 1000fps. (all in est. 4.625" barrel)
That's plenty.
