It was my first brand new Buck. I received it in '97 from my best friend as an engagement gift. It's been around the block a bit and sports a pretty rounded off blade from a lot of use and sharpening. The Ranger makes a great all around knife and the way the blade has reprofiled itself lends itself to birds and fish.
This same model hangs in my barn for all to use. Somehow it's never been lost!We're getting the tail end of Hurricane Debby today. There's two inches in the rain gauge already.
That divot from the snap is a tell tale mark from Bucks of a certain vintage! Mine shows the same.The old 110. I've been carrying the 112 mostly, but since my 110 from the CS might be here in another month or so, I thought I should get used to carrying the larger 110 once in a while.
I like how some knives start out as tools but over the years become more like very useful friends. That may sound a little silly to some but I bet more than a few here know what I’m talking about.Like me!
It was made by Cedar Grove Leather, but the woman who ran it and sold on Etsy has closed her company. Sad for me as I really liked her work.
That is sad. Looks like it was made well.
Yeah, I've had that one for about 50 years. It's gutted a lot of deer, scraped a lot of gaskets, cut up a bunch of sammiches, and sliced a lot of apples. And other stuff I forget about at the moment. Sometimes all in the same day.
OK. I guess I don't get out enough. I know what rissole is, but what the heck is a grasshopper snag?Late Sunday arvo cook-up of grasshopper snags and crumbed rissoles.
My venerable ol' 119 Brahma (rehandled by me) is on duty in the slicing department.
I was afraid to ask.
I'm glad you both posed the question. That one had me confused.
The term 'Grasshopper' is Aussie slang for a Kangaroo. They jump, or hop, through the grass, so 'Grasshopper snag' is 'roo snags.
Thanks. That clears it up.The term 'Grasshopper' is Aussie slang for a Kangaroo. They jump, or hop, through the grass, so 'Grasshopper snag' is 'roo snags.
The meat is very lean and high in iron, much more than beef, and cheap if you count road kill, lol.
