when the discussion of finishes and concrete chopping comes around, as it often does, most of you will remember i will speak of my first real knife.
i never posted a pic as it was always away from the camera, it hates cameras and has no use for one.
well i finally made some extra effort to capture the damned thing and shoot some pics.
i'm around 53 and about 42 years ago my father, who wasn't able to continue hunting, gave me his hunting knife. this was a very big deal for a kid of 11 years and along with it came a 94 winchester.
well sh1t, i was set, had my folder and a great rifle, not much got away from the 3 of us.
now the pics, i don't have a fricking clue as to the steel that was used on this old folder. all i have ever done after a kill was to clean it with soap n water, dry it and wipe some 3 in 1 oil on it.
if this schrade that's about 55 years old, eating 3 scabbards and has lopped off my fingers more than once doesn't look brand new... then ill eat my wives shorts!
the morel of this story is if you don't go out and use your knives, then your kids will hock them when your dead, and some other bastid will enjoy them.
so now this old hunter which still shaves hair is retired. i hope to give it to one of my grand kids if they take to knives and such.
and last but not least....
