So I have a BK12 headed my direction, should receive it Monday. I've never handled that particular knife, but do own a 10 and a 7, the 7 has been my all time favorite full size Becker, I just have a feeling the 12 could be a new favorite.

Any of you guys have love for the 12?

No, not really.

Just kidding. Somehow I ended up with three of them. Dunno how that happened. My favorite allrounder from Uncle E - and Doug Ritter. Yes, it will be your new favorite, I suspect.
And no, one can NOT grind down a 7 and end up with a 12.

Confession: I still don't have a two.

All you need to do is get yourself to a gathering. Ka-Bar always seems to send 2's.....

I've been to several for a few years now. Haven't scored a 2. Shoot, I haven't recieved a knife every time I've been, but that's no big deal. The chance at a new knife is the least if my reasons for attending gatherings. I figured I would try to snag one used sometime if I do get one.

Mmmmm, new luuuuuures. Nothing like new lures! I'm heading out of town in a few minutes to get some new lures among other things. I was going to go yesterday, but I ended up meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in almost 10 years. We went out and got in 8 hours of fishing and catching up. We caught a ton of pike and each managed limit of walleye. We had to work for them, but it was fun. I also managed a helluva sun burn.

Thats awesome bro!! Looks like an excellent day indeed!!


My day/night wasnt too shabby either :) Started this morning fishing the off the bank of the creek with worms for a couple hours. Managed to catch several keepers, even caught a gar on a worm with a #4 hook.... Not a common thing!!

Left before 11am and went and had lunch with the wife who had the day off.


Then this evening me and Curt headed back with the boat for some bow fishing! Stayed out till 11pm and had to use a spot light to guide our way back in!

As we were leaving i decided to cast out a couple times and landed this bass. My biggest bass from this creek. Caught with a live night crawler.

How old is the rope? If it was properly stored, you should be ok. The currrent reccomdations in terms of climbing rope life expectancy is about 10 -15 years if the rope has never been used and has been stored properly. What dia?
Click to expand...

like new looking, never used, stored still factory wound in a clean, dry, closet, nothing squished it, or weighted it.

it's something like 10-15 years ;) something like 10-11mm.

i expect the correct answer is: cut it up and use for lanyards and shit, not full support.

now, to find a good arborist rope...
 
Looks like a darn good day WW. I bet that bow fishing is a blast.

I ended up wandering into an unadvertised sale at Cabela's today. I ended up with a pile of new crankbaits, a bunch of jigs, some shoes, and a new Daiwa reel. I also picked up some laminate flooring for our bathroom and a new pair of redwing boots. Spent way too much, but it was a sale, so I had to buy stuff and not miss out on a deal. Right?
 
HAHA!!! Yea man if you save money on normal price, and its something you want, its mandatory to buy it ASAP.... At least thats what i always try and tell the wife... After i spend the money LMAO

Bow fishing is LOADS of fun!! I only shot 2, and one i didnt manage to get into the boat. He slipped off. But Curt shot and landed several. He also shoots bows a lot, hunts with bows and all, and im not much of a bow person...I like shooting them, just not that good at it... I missed A LOT!!!! You cant shoot straight at the fish, have to shoot under it and account for the arrow curving back up. Took some getting used to for sure. But ill be doing a lot more of it. Even when you miss its FUN. You see the fish, and can tell how close you are getting, makes it very exciting.

Just in case anyone is wondering why i am wearing glasses at night, polarized glasses were needed, day and night. the light causes a reflection and you cant see the fish very well without them. Not a fashion statement... LOL

Here I thought you were trying to be Corey Hart.....
Actually, you have to aim under them because the water bends the light differently than air - so that fish you're looking at is not ACTUALLY directly in your line of sight. Also has to do with the angle you're looking at as well - if you're shooting straight down, there's no adjustment needed. I tried to bowfish as a kid....with no success. Had a homemade rig made from a tuna can bolted onto my 1970's Bear recurve. I wasn't a very good shot, plus the carp I was trying to shoot tend to inhabit some muddy water....basically, I wasn't any good at it. But it still looks like fun.

This is a pretty simple explanation, I think ;) :

I am not much of a super hero or comic book fan. I watched Deadpool last night and it was awesome!

Very cool looking blade 710. I like it a lot. :thumbup:

Thanks man, I'll have more about this knife soon, this is a productionrun of the Topper I had in blade mag last year. For now all I can is it is made in El Salvador by Imacasa... and my family is all from there so to honor them, I thought it was a great thing having them made from there.
 
I need to see it still. I might look for a copy to watch tonight after the kids to to bed.

varies a bit depending on dissolved minerals and salts. easy test you can perform (with a stunt fish), then you know your angle.

you could probably even set up an offset sight, just for that task, then aiming is true :D

i'm pondering a new bow, with glass reticles/etc... one can polarize one of those too :D

don't cross the [polarity] streams!
