I know the Distillery Road stretch very well.The Kish certainly can be a confusing affair. It seems there are two South Branches. One is over your way, and the other branches off over around S. Perryville Rd, and heads off really southbound. Go figure... The farthest upstream I ever put-in was at the Hickory Hills Canoe Launch off S. Appleton Rd. Our paddling club was doing a river cleanup between there and who-knows-where at the end of Distillery Rd somewhere??? And on that day, I was packin' this imported Schrade in its Kydex sheath, hanging off my PFD.

Great knives and photos Gordon!
Well, I would never look down on a Proper. I own several, including a Gold Class, and I find them to be a very capable blade that fits my love for single-blade, functional knives!! I like ‘em!!People will look down on that proper but that’s the knife that got me into slipjoints.
Nice talking to you today Harry and thanks for posting your 93's. My Cocobolo is quite dark but livin's up color wise once introduced to sunlight. The slip came with my 93 and fits like a gloveNot quite sure why I ended up with these 3 in my pockets again today . I guess it may be because I like them so much and keep them handy where I dress . Using an older photo because it is a dismal day today .

Thanks, they do appreciate it, they're great people. My friend Jori is the artist, I honestly think he needs the outlet so order away. If you ever roll through KC let me know and we can go broke togetherI'd love to check out HJE in person. I try to place an order with them every 4th of July at least to support them. Their box art is something else!
Goodness, I sure hope so!Is Fixed Blade Friday a thing?
I’ve got three now just missing the red micarta sheepsfoot and I’ll add it at some point. Action is not amazing but I love that little knife.Well, I would never look down on a Proper.

Two really nice ones, Paul. I’m surprised by the size difference between the two.Felt like a Barlow kind of day.

Thanks, buddy. Yeah two completely different animals. Kabar is about 3 1/4 in closed for reference.Two really nice ones, Paul. I’m surprised by the size difference between the two.
The micarta is rich looking Bart. Imagine, a medicinal bottle opener included.This one came in today. Into the pocket it went and already putting it to work. Really well-made little knife.![]()
