Chris.
We are very fortunate to have a farm near home that has great squirrel and deer hunting.
Thank you for the compliment on the knives.
That old #23 gets used on every squirrel I take.

Burnt Stag can you please identify the guns in that pic?

Camillius,
Those rifles ar Browning SA22's.
The blued one with walnut stocks is my Dad's. He has been hunting with it for about 40 years now.
The other one is a special edition one made for the shot show a few years ago.
It was a very limited run. I was fortunate enough to find it on a gun shops used rack at a very fair price.
The guns are very light and compact and make them a pleasure to carry in the woods. Accuracy is pretty good as well.

Camillus, I think those are Browning .22 automatics. Beautiful little rifles.

Black Mamba you are correct. And thank you. The looks of the little Browning is even nicer without the scope in my opinion. But with my poor eyesight the scope is necessary.
 
I was going to comment on the Brownings earlier. Sweet rifles! I always wanted to get a T-Bolt but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Been playing with my Henry's too much to get another .22 at the moment. (My Buckmark target pistol is too much fun to shoot as well)
 
Ha, after I posted this question I realised I actually own one of these Brownings! My one is a little older. As I recall, one of John Browning's original designs. As noted, a really sweet little gun.

Those Henry rifles are great. Very smooth. I have the 22 silver boy and have not shot it yet. I have the big boy in 44mag and it is sighted in and ready for deer season in a couple weeks.
The T-bolt is a nice choice for a bolt action. I have to recommend the CZ 452/455 bolt guns as well. Very good quality for the money.
As for that Buckmark , they are great little pistols. I have one with the 5.5 target barrel and it shoots as good as my ruger mk2's. You have great taste in firearms.

It was just a quick detour in 9 pages, I thought we hunters were doing pretty good LOL.

Here's the two going with me opening day of gun season this Saturday.

T Bose Hunter in D2 and a Loveless style DPH made by Japanese maker Mamoru Shigeno (ATS-34). Hopefully the abundance of stag on my knives will bring me good luck!

No harm, no foul, Jake. Just a friendly nudge. Wonderful knives. Good luck this season.
 
Thanks Gary, Burnt Stag and Brett. One day here I'll get my other Shigeno knives together and take a little group pic.
 
So fine, Jake. Both of those look like superb hunters.

Do you know which part of Japan Shigeno-san comes from?
 
Chin, from what I could find, Mamoru Shigeno is living in Saitama. Not sure if that's where he was born however. He was trained in knife making under Matrix-Aida. I bought this knife direct from Haruki Aida and he was wonderful to work with. Very helpful in getting the deal worked out and quite friendly.

I couldn't find a lot of information when I first started buying Shigeno knives other than his fit and finish was superb. After seeing the quality, I didn't hesitate to buy another! I'll have to send him an email to catch up on his background some more. He's made knives for many years but it seems he's just starting to hit the scene here in the US.
