AS FAR AS THE KNIFE TESTING---
EVERYONE HAD MORE CONTROL WITH THE BILL SIEGLE HANDLED BECKER BK-9--BUT LIKED THE SHOCK ABSORBING GRIPS OF THE DOGFATHER BETTER AFTER 30 OR SO CHOPS
THE BUSSE WITH THE CONVEX EDGE OUT CUT THE OTHER KNIVES SMALLER KNIVES-AND WAS THE FAVORITE OF THE 3

Cool pics. I love the knives to. What part of Texas is that? That must have been some fire in that area.

Thanks for the added pics. I like that knife a lot. I remember seeing stuff from Don Shipley many years ago. I remember he made some awesome sheaths too.
 
Great knives and pics! You picked a pretty spot for lunch!

75 degrees in Feb ha, I am in the wrong part of the country.
 
awesome pics Bill..:thumbup: i really like that Shipley knife too..:)

that pooch is getting big...
 
Nice! Now he can carry all that heavy steel for you!

Nice selection of zombie killers. I love the Shipley (cool handle) and that SAR. No choil on a Busse? I didn't know they existed.
 
Nice shot of the pup with the pack. My lab spot carries saddlebags to the tune of 18 cans of beer for hiking up the vedder river for salmon with my friends. Mesh bag in the river tied off and wait 20 minutes as they are "shaken not stirred".
