Wow and wow. Those sets were every boys dream in the 90s. Well least this boys. Man I sure hate that schrade went under. That’s a fine trio of “iron” ya got. Steaks look pretty delicious too.

I had a sharpfinger that I retipped before my house burnt. I’d helped a friend redo his floor and he gave it to me. I liked it quite a bit though I didn’t get a chance to use it. I’d like to find the drop point version. I think it’s number 154ot. But I haven’t run across one yet.

I do have a 340ot though that’s been with me a lot of years. No deer, but have done squirrel with it.

154OT is correct, JM2. They are on Ebay all the time, and usually not too expensive. That was my very first Schrade knife, many many years ago.

Keep on the Sunny Side, always on the Sunny Side....

These are both Wagner skillets, marked "Made in USA" on the bottoms. And I trust everyone recognizes an Old Hickory boning knife.

Yes my son makes his own Damascus billets then forges his own chefs knives. I chose the Mexican blanket G carta for the scales. It is one of my favorite kitchen knives.

For dinner it will be Chuck roast slow cooked in my cast iron Dutch oven

I've never wanted a custom kitchen knife until now. That is one special piece of work. VERY nice.

I don’t think it makes me a better cook but I do enjoy using it. The Damascus requires care as it has carbon steel in it but I do love to watch the patina grow and it gets very sharp with very little effort. As with my cast iron that I call an heirloom piece so my chefs knives are also.gmho

I was in Austin, MN once and visited the SPAM museum. Interesting displays, an original letter from General Eisenhower, etc. but this display was special. There was a Smithey wok there that I would have loved to take home, but it would have interfered with my knife budget. I came across this display in a shop in Billings, Montana. I got the hell out of there as quick as I could, before I did something rash.
