Ironwood! And I have zero leather working experience, so a sheath would take some trial and error. . .What?!?!
Those moose antlers are store bought? Plastic imitation? Probably not even genuine Dupont Delrin.
And I figured you’d gone up to Maine and bagged a bull yourself
Even though that knife is capable of heavy duty chores, I can’t blame you. It’s too nice.
Don’t tell @Primble, but I only have one Primble knife~ a Belknap Hardware like yours. Schrade made version of their 124 Serpentine Jack. But it came to me well broken in, so I am cleared to use it without remorse.
That’s beautiful! Bocote?
I’d like to see the sheath…hint.
“Less Than Lethal Rounds”. They’ll raise a welt, but not break the skin?
That brings back memories of being a candy wholesaler. I once asked a customer why he was ordering a box of Necco Wafers every week, since it never was a big seller. He let me in on the secret. Each wafer had the same weight and size of a US quarter dollar coin, and worked like a champ in the automated toll booths. Of course, in wet weather, they melted and made a gummy mess of the machines. That was before they went to electronic transponders to ding you for using their roads.
Speaking of H herder , he usually makes the trip down to the Badger Knife Show, so @Old Engineer introduced me to Neal over pre-show breakfast. Nice guy with a lot of knife knowledge.
Last year, he and Barrett drove down together. Which was the first time I got to meet that young lad.
Those two make for excellent slicers but the squirrel may be a tad wild as a petHave a good week everyoneStarting mine with a Lamb and a Squirrel

Thank you Jon! If you're looking for smaller fixed blade models/makers, that's definitely my thing. Your Burlap 47 is awfully drool-worthy, love the depth on that micarta.Great end of the week knives. I’m really starting to pay attention to edc fixed blades lately. You have a great stash. Thanks for the compliments!
Great to have a brother that has caught the sickness. I’m trying to get my brother there…I just can’t break him away from buying guitars and amps. That is a special type of sickness!My brother sold me this improved trapper for a very fair price. This is its first time out with me. F & F are excellent. And well… hotdog.

Do you like those coffee bags? I hadn't had them for 40 years, but bought several boxes of their Lava Java brand from Costco during the first lockdown here. I thought they might be alright to take out hiking, but though I drink their coffee regularly, I was a bit disappointed with the bags, and ended up giving them away. I think I still have a box if you want them?I thought I would have a go at tightening the blades on my very old Opinels.
I found the pin hammer worked better than the ball pein.
Not to tight in case the wood expands when wet.
later I tried out some coffee bag's, this company produces great tasting Coffee.
I also tried out my new coconutspoon,I like it.
