I have this knife that I really like, but it is just too big to carry. So, I call it my home knife. I really like it and use it a lot, but it rarely leaves home (unless it is in a coat pocket). The knife is a Schatt and Morgan reversed gunstock stockman, File and Wire 2001, red worm groove. I'd post a picture, but I guess you have to have it on a server somewhere and I don't.

Anybody else have a home knife?
 
You can always get a carry sheath either generic or custom to carry that puppy. I carry my Opinel # 12 in a Benchmade sheath...It works for me!
 
Yeah, I know. I have a Boker stockman that I regularly carry in pocket, but if I have a knife on my belt, it is a Buck 110.
 
I have one or two like that. One in particular is a bone handled Remington Daddy Barlow. I don't carry it like I used to, but often enough it rides in my right, jeans pocket while around the house, or on a short run to the store. It rides surprisingly well in jeans, but is really a bit too big for city carry and certainly too big for work. (Dress slacks and sheeple infested country, and the overall open length is about 9 inches.)

This pic is in the Barlow thread, but I'll post it again to make it easy.

You might try www.photobucket.com for image hosting. It's free and pretty easy.
 
OK then, my home knife is also a Buck 110 rehandled in some nice thick sheep horn scales and file-worked spine now carried in a custom sheath..

Can you get shots to prevent sheeple infestations???
 
Here's my home knife:

Thanks, Amos Iron Wolf. It was pretty easy. I just need to work on my picture takin' skills.
 
Nice stuff fellers! I like that fancied up 110 Anthony. Sure ain't sheeple horn, that's for sure. They wouldn't provide anything that useful.

I had to comment to my wife that I sure appreciated her. I got a really great deal off a fellow at work for a S&W M629-2, .44 Mag in a 4 inch barrel. (Okay, a buddy of mine there said I held it to the guys head I got it at such a price.) I had it laying on the daypack I'd brought it home in and the pack was on the couch where my wife was sitting watching TV. I said something to the effect "That's my girl. Sitting beside a (unloaded, for the record) .44 Mag handgun and not even paying it any attention." She replied, "Oh, I'm paying it some attention. When are we going to go shoot it!" Did I mention I really love my wife!

Sigh, she is learning, but doesn't understand that I still need to get just the right grips for it, the right holster, and naturally, match it up to the right knife, or two! These things take time and consideration. Same as it will be for the older Marlin 1894, .44 Mag. lever gun I put in layway last night with some money from a gun I took back to my favorite shop. (Great fellows there. If there's an issue, they take care of it.) These things take much contemplation and a fair bit of day dreaming.

BTW, SunnyD, I have that same buffler nickle dodigy on the top of a cane length walking stick I made and use often. Like minds.

Getting back on thread, sometimes I don't have a knife on me in the house if I've just changed from work. I have them laying about in the two places I'll most likely be, so it's a matter of just picking one up. If it's a quick step outside to take out the dog, then I'll just toss a Mora, or some other something in my pocket.

Btw, as a wolf I must confess. Sheeple scare me!
 
Amos you have a big problem there...You have a love for guns and knives, not only will the sheeple stare at you :eek: :eek: with their sheeple eyes but you have to decide what to spend the money on the gun or the knife...

Da dilemna, da dilemna. I looked at my ebay summary tonight and I dropped down to only having spent $49 in the last 31 days on there. No knives on their way to the post office, nadda!

I did see a Rant at BPS that seemed reasonable. I may have to get one as I don't have one, yet.

As I'm researching this S&W it looks more and more like it is one of the original M629-2 Mountain Guns that came out around 1989 before they started laser etching the "Mountain" part on there. Tapered barrel, rounded butt, and like the originals, this one is roll stamped. Excellent trigger in both SA & DA. Not bad for $250! I can do without a knife or two for a little while. January is a new month now mind you! :D My new year started at sundown on Oct 31, Celtic New Year!

Such hard choices, but at least I kept myself from getting distracted with building a small model railroad! I guess it's time to bite the bullet (pardon the pun) and knock the rust off the old reloading press.

Knives, guns, and leather for both! Ooowooooooo! There's some pleasure there boys! And a lot of traditions!

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha....:D

I'm thinking go ahead and get the Mountain gun because a little bird informed me that in January the next release of newest S&M File & Wire Tested will be released. This will be Series #4 knife #1...and will be a 2 Blade Mountain Man Trapper. What a great combination...

The handle color will change to Green Stagged Bone.

Oh, my! I've been eyeing the Mountain Man knives, but held off. BUT, you are so right. A Moutain Man would be an excellent companion to Mountain Gun! AND, I can keep 'em both at hand while I watch my old tape of The Mountain Men! Love that movie.

Now I'll have to go back and reread all those threads about which MMs had the least blade wobble, etc..

Who needs matching wine to the meal, this is much more fun!

Gun's already a done deal and sitting nearby. :D
