[r8shell]

I like that MOTS Imperial fish knife and the photo!

I have a similar photo, although the sunfish knife went to another BF member in a GAW:

Another member of the Johnson Century Model 100B Club!

If it’s still together and not missing any parts it probably does work. I still use this one every now and then trout fishing.

Those Johnson reels are classics- getting hard to find and they’re getting expensive

I think it's all there. I picked it up at a yard sale years ago, and never got around to putting line on it.

Picked this bad boy up for under 10 bucks at a local gun store about a year ago. Still haven't gotten around to cleaning it up. It's honestly not in bad shape. I'm torn between restoring or just using as is.

This week I'll post the last knife from the Chinese Schrade Gift Set that I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. It's a Schrade 61OT Slim Premium Stockman that's very long but very lean:

Unfortunately, the Mighty Mite which is the current GEC 05 , won't qualify for thrifty in terms of cost Might come under the skimpy heading though or even scalped....

This is as thrifty as it gets, picked it up for less than $8, if I remember correctly.

Holding its own!

A bow trapper which makes an excellent dinner knife.

Waltco Saf-T-Sheath Outdoor Knife. Don’t know much about it, but I do know it’s thrifty. It seems solid and is made in the USA.

Carbon steel roper trapper, was a Christmas gift from my dad. I like it quite a bit.

A new warranty replacement (for a busted back spring) is on the way. It'll probably go in my pocket when it gets here ... even tho I rarely require a hawkbill these days. I haven't been doing much gardening lately.)
Today's cost is all of $6.99 (includes a lifetime warranty.)
Marbles MR409 "G.I. Knife".

I'll probably pair it with these: Marbles MR278 "G.I. Utility Knife"/"Demo Knife" and Marbles MR139 Douk Douk type "fishing knife".
(the fish scaller on the spine makes it a "fishing knife", correct?
The MR278 is $6.99, I think the MR139 was about the same price ... maybe a dollar less when bought it 6 or 7 years ago.

(Semi-Thrfty (over $20 yet under $25) that I have on my belt today is a BTI Old Timer 25OT two blade slipjoint folding hunter.)

It's my impression that Argentina has been stamping their punal furniture with simpler designs in lower relief than Brazil for a long time. At least one Argentinian company has gotten pretty extreme in simple and flat. Still a fun knife, though.

I really love Imperial Toothpicks!

 

[Hickory n steel]

Today with the Victorinox parer, $7 knife ( available as low as $3 ) and $7 for the sheath ( available as low as $5 )

I'll be switching to a Dexter equivalent that arrived yesterday when I pick its sheath up from the po box later this afternoon.
Pricing on the dexter is about the same, the sheath being a little nicer costs a bit more.
