My Dozier Hunter folder is scary ass sharp too. I've used it quite a bit, and it'll still shave.Sounds like someone needs a new fingertip.
Doziers are like sharks with frikkin' laser beams on their heads.
Surgical sharp.
Nice looking bag. Look forward to a comparison.Got in a new "bottle" carrier today. I think it is a very viable option as a replacement to the maxped bottle carriers. BCB Crusader Carry Bag.

Be looking for some comparison shots later between it and a maxped 12x5.

gruntings, and salivations fellow 'heads,
hark! with glad tidyings unto thee,
forsooth, did i swoop down, and score a Reinhardt combat khukri in marked battle against worthy adversaries
verily, i did succeed with honor and grace.
the happy dance shall commence forthwith...
lugubriously, and salaciously,
me!
The other day was the first time since late 2009 that I have been allowed to stand on my own 2 feet. It is going to take a long time to get back to where I was, before I got sick....But this is a "step" in the right direction........Im excited, and I just felt like I could share it here.

"apparently someone" is Elmer Keith, and the story, as I understand it, is somewhat exaggerated. (i.e. the animal was already wounded which is why he shot at it at that range in the first place)
.44mag is good, but.... modern .45colt is king if you're staying with the classics. It'll do all the .44mag will, but with less pressure.
Silly misnamed round, like the .38spl (from the heeled bullet days). It should really be called the .43 magnum. Sounds wussy like that.
PICS! We need PICS!
but he hit it right? heh.
i'm told in my area, that i can use a .44 for hunting on "shotgun days", and many people do. neat.
don't know about classics, per se, i just want one of everything
a .44 lever-gun is probably next...
though as i've mentioned, .45-70 would be good.
anyone on xbox live that wants a new friend, well look for me fromcodywith1uv
not my pictures, but i don't quite have it yet... suh wheet.
Uh, yes please.
Is this of Becker design? The name says maybe, the handle says no.
Blackjack Reinhardt Combat Kukri that is near mint with quality black leather sheath. It has never been sharpened or carried and has only one small scratch on the blade, that is hard to find. The sheath has very light wear and is the early black leather one. It is 18 5/8" overall and has a 1/4" thick convex blade. The Reinhardt Combat Kukri is a little known piece of Blackjack knives history. Pretty rare for production, only a few thousand (1500 or maybe 2000) were made. Early sheaths were leather, later ones were nylon. Steel is AUS8. The handle is very well shaped, and is molded of Kraton. It's a well made kukri. The Reinhardt name comes from the man attributed to having designed it. Hank Reinhardt, of Atlanta Cutlery and Museum Replicas Ltd. Hank either founded or played a great part in founding the Historical Armed Combat Association. http://www.thehaca.com
For more information on Kukri knives read article by Hank Reinhardt titled "Curved Death The Legendary Knife of the Gurkha." The article is in the 15th Anniversary Best of Blade Magazine 1989.
It was the forerunner to the BKT Combat Kukri (made by Blackjack knives) which was very thin, light, and used the excellent BKT handle.

Blackjack started in early 1987 and the company closed its doors in August of 1997.
