That is my whiskey/bourbon of choice.

In a pint glass full of ice. One of those and I'd feel good. Two of them and I'd be gone. Stopped drinking three years ago or so....just haven't felt like drinking.....but if I was going to have a drink it would be Maker's neat or on ice.
 
What AMERICAN product would you buy if you was me?

I been wanting to buy a new folder, but don't need one.
I been wanting to buy a new small fixed blade, but don't need one.
I been wanting to buy a new medium size fixed blade, but don't need one.
I been wanting to buy a new whoopass chopper, but don't need one.

Suggestions? Recommendations?

I have lots of suggestions.

If you don't need it save your money for something you really want.

Folder I hate folders
Small ESEE 3
Medium BK2
Chopper Junglas
 
Busse MOAB. You do need one.
Really though, snag one of the last Rowen-made HEST fixed blades.
I just ordered three (I know, its an unhealthy addiction, but I want one for every chest rig, and one for my kid), and I know I don't need any more, so go ahead. knife works has them for a great price.
Or something from here:http://zombietools.net/tools/
But if you just don't know what to do with your money, you can send some to me...
 
Hey Moose, have you considered picking something up from some of the maker's on the Forum? Bill Akers, David Farmer, Mark Wohlend, Iz Turley...guys like that? Man, there's a lot of sweet steel coming out of those fellas...

I've got an Akers and a Farmer, but not the other two. I've talked with Iz, and thinking about getting on his list here soon...

Anyway, just a suggestion! :)

I'm on Iz's list for a Green River in May, same time as the Hardwoodsman Gathering I should be attending at the Missouri River Bottoms. I just wanted to scratch an itch. Itch has been scratched.

For the American folder, I'd go with a Case Canoe, or Stockman. Something in their CV steel. Use it for a week and you will be sold. If you don't like it, I think you have my address.
 
I vote for a 24" Tramontina machete, there is no better way to spend ten bucks on a drunk buy, the convex it, all.

DPx HEST/F hands down. It waves open and double locks. Plus there's so much drama after the pre-order you'll feel like you're on a Spanish soap opera. Italian made? Why that's just a quibble.

I been wanting to buy a new small fixed blade, but don't need one.

I am a little goofy about my Fiddleback Three-Finger Karda. It's tiny but oh-so functional. I used to want a Murray Carter really badly. Now? Not so much.

I been wanting to buy a new medium size fixed blade, but don't need one.

I'll recommend the difficult just because...
Swamp Rat Ratweiler (original version). Probably hard to find these days, but I sure love that knife. One of the very few Busse family knives I paid secondary market prices to get.

I been wanting to buy a new whoopass chopper, but don't need one.

Siegles are certainly worth a look if you want to spend $$. So too are the knives by David Wesner of Kelsey Creek Knife Works.
That said, folks sure do seem to like that Junglas. I'm hoping Jeff will piss off a Junglas owner soon so I can swoop in.

It is a nice knife. I was using a Dutch oven in a fire pit last night and that "bottle opener" on the HEST was the perfect pot lifter. Worth grabbing if they're still out there.
 
Didn't need it? I most certainly did!

Seriously, just got home, opened up the knife, and I love it. Thanks a ton. I did actually need a small fixed blade, the smallest I have is the BK2, and the biggest is the BK3. That's it. I have an old Camillus Marine Combat, but it has been through too much and as loose as the handle is I would hesitate before using it. Got my two pockets knives (was three, but since I got my new one I hated the idea of the old Kershaw Tanto Blur going to waste so I gave it to a good home; friend of mine with no knife at all) and that is it homey.

Again, thanks.

So that is what you ordered? The Green River?
 
Unless you have "updated" since the last time I saw you you need a good ole american sodbuster! I promise it will see plenty of pocket time.

But I don't drink and post no more, after my last little "episode".

Good suggestions, but too much money. Gots to stay on the lean here fella. Plus, I don't like beating up expensive blades.

God bless America:thumbup:
 
Moose, I know the itch has been scratched, but we ALL know it will come back.......in 30 days or less!;) Anyway, someone mentioned this piece deep in their list of knives and it really is a good piece; the Buck Vantage PRO. Simple, S30V steel, BOS heat treat, brass washers, wide full bellied blade, and all for $49.99, which is probably the best part! Think about it next time you want to spend a little cabbage!
 
yes i have to agree the buck vantage knives are very nice i have two of them. would like to get acuple more .

Clueless as far as a Folder, but if you want an American made Chopper, check out David Wesner (Kelsey Creek Knife Works). He makes killer blades, all sizes, been a while since I spoke to him, but he might be doing folders also.

And check out American Honey for your next alcoholic purchase!!!! Name says it all.
 
Case Sodbuster Jr,with CV blade and yeller handles.I got one a month ago for the grand sum of 22 clams+shipping.For the money I was,and still am impressed.That little knife has'nt left my right front pocket yet.Plus,the shipping cost was offset by the other items that I ordered.PS:the CV steel takes a nice patina!
