Mark, This is an interesting, good looking set. Did you do all of the NW Coast scrim and leatherwork?

Not me but my dad over the last few years. It started with the stainless Ruger Super Blackhawk which I have had since early 90s. Grips are by LS Grips which are best simulated Ivory I have found. I have carried the SBH in Alaska for work and wanted a tough polymer and these grips have such a good off-white color and a slight grain too. I had the Buck 277 (ATS-34) and then pulled a pair of polymer scales off a 279 I found (also nice off-white polymer), sanded off the machine applied scrimshaw and sent to my dad…gave him the 279 and rosewood scales off 277. On both the SBH and the 277 I sprayed the grips/scales with a light coating of textured clear acrylic, protects scrimshaw and gives a slight grippiness to the handles. Then I bought the Buck 193 (also ATS-34) on a whim, sanded the machine scrimshawed bear off the polymer insert and then sent to my dad. Lastly I had him make the leather pocket slip for my Victorinox multi-tool to complete the set. He is retired and loves doing this stuff.

Thanks for the backstory, Mark. Your father is very talented. The fact that he did all of the artwork I'm sure makes this set very special.

S sportingspecialist thank you sir. Those are some pretty nice firearms you own yourself - looks like a Benelli turkey shotgun and is that a Winchester M52 22LR? The dark walnut is gorgeous. OH

Yes sir that is a Benelli M2 with a Steady Grip stock,21" barrel and an Indian Creek choke.

The .22 however is an Anschutz 1710 Classic.They may have designed their action after the famous 52.

Thanks,I was lucky with getting such nice wood.
 
Winchester Model 88 (mfg in 1963) in the 308 WIN cartridge - my favorite deer cartridge and favorite deer rifle (like Buck Knives, I just can’t stick to only one - love the 270 WIN and 30-06 SPRG in the Model 70 too). Used a Buck 103 for the cleaning chore the day I shot this doe. OH

My wife gifted me with a Browning Citori in 16 gauge for Valentines Day about ten years ago. It’s my favorite Upland shotgun. These birds are Tennessee Red Quail, a bigger and darker variation of Bobwhite, the old Buck 321 was my Dad’s bird knife for many years, he gave it to me ten or twelve years ago. My Dad was my first hunting instructor and taught me to love the outdoors and hunting, he is still around and in his mid 80’s, but has lost his ability to walk without a walker, so his hunting days are over. We love to talk about the old days though. OH

Another lightweight day: The 4 oz 110 is aluminum and it slips easily in and out of the watch pocket of Duluth briar work pants while the Ruger LC9 is only 20 oz loaded and sits in a 4 oz holster. With so many redundant safeties (double action only hammer-fired, manual thumb safety, and magazine safety) I could even pocket carry, but it prints less this way.

Tomorrow I'll go to the other end of the spectrum: A full-weight brass 110 and a Ruger SP-101 in a flap holster! Suspenders, maybe? 😄
