Hey Makael, the Mammoths didn't like the heat either

During the last ice age – some 100,000 to 15,000 years ago – mammoths were widespread in the northern hemisphere from Spain to Alaska. Due to the global warming that began 15,000 years ago, their habitat in Northern Siberia and Alaska shrank. On Wrangel Island, some mammoths were cut off from the mainland by rising sea levels; that population survived another 7000 years.


“The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”— Donald Trump, Nov 6, 2012

Makael. Here just north of Portland Oregon our expected high for the next couple days exceeds yours. Record high expected today and tomorrow. I am currently at work since 5am both yesterday and today working until noon so I can leave early the next couple days to avoid the high temps. I work in a steel building without a/c painting cars and when the booth is in the bake cycle at 150 degrees the heat from the booth radiates thru the paint shop heating it up even more.

meanwhile its kinda cool down here today at only 85f...winds a blowin.....beautiful Sunday for Florida...well were I am anyways....

 

[DeSotoSky]

gedlicks The upside is you will save on heating bills for the paint booth.

My only other tine handled knife. The tang mark is BUCK* and the blade is not stainless.

 

[IDhorace]

THAT has to have tales to tell.

Buck 491 ergo hunter

The original Selector Series had 10 blade choices including several for removing fur coats. A Caper was not in the mix. Neither was a Zipper. I fashioned a Potato Peeler out of a Gut Hook. It probably would not be too difficult to fashion a Caper out of a larger blade. David Martin used to make Custom Selector Blades.View attachment 1590560View attachment 1590561

My only Caper,I use it every fall.

I've shown this one before. Found this in a work bench drawer and have absolutely no idea of when or where I got it. I'm guessing I paid $20.

weather.com shows Boise with 15 days in a row 100 or higher... the record is 11 in a row if I remember right... I'd be worried but weather.com usually has a "spotty" record, and I doubt anyone can accurately do weather that far in advance. Feel for you guys in WA though
(son-in-law grew up in AZ... he thinks we're all wusses )

HAHA...you are all wusses. We already had 6 consecutive days of 115 or higher that started on June 15th of this month. 100 degrees is like a cool breeze to us. We had a couple days of 118 and hit 120 once already.

Seriously though...those in areas that are experiencing higher temps take caution, stay inside/shade when possible and drink lots of water. Heat stroke is no joke. I always hear of people dying when temps get higher than the normal for areas where the people are not acclimated for it.

First and foremost, Many Thanks to Roger for another Sunday Picture Show.

Took a little trip to the Belleville, IL gun/knife show on this fine Sunday. It was a pleasant experience to say the least.

Agreed, you can see by the average we’re used to that these are way up there.

(repost) I purchased this brown micarta pair from DOGPOUND77 in a black vintage Buck TwinSet sheath. I did not feel it did them justice so I commissioned this custom sheath by MAKAEL. I think it was worth the wait. Although this is by no means a factory Twinset, Buck did sell the 103/116 combination as the 117 Trophy Set.

 

[DOGPOUND77]

this is kinda cool---183 crosslock -black oxide blades with jim shockey-g10 handles....

 

[DOGPOUND77]

one of my favorite 110's---jet black ebony wood -nickel silver frame--file work down spine -bg-42 serrated stamped logo blade.

 

[matthewtstock]

Jim Shockey is alright, IMO about the only true hunter who has a television show. In spite of the fact that he now uses/promotes Havalon. I dig the crosslock.
