Today, I am carrying my Beer Scout Knife. The reason is simple. It was my grandmother's favorite knife in my collection! She loved the color of the jigged bone and always commented on it. She was the first person I would send a picture to of a new knife arrival. "Oh boy another one?!" Is what she would say. And then she would comment on how beautiful it was. She fought cancer like a grizzly bear, and charged it head on. She passed away yesterday. At the house her and my grandfather built. With loved one surrounding her. What a remarkable woman.

My condolences, Taylor. How wonderful that she shared your enthusiasm.

tmd_87 and @The Fort - Taylor and Lance, couldn’t agree more! Cancer sucks!

tmd_87 · May 30, 2018

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and condolences. She was just a selfless person and I will think about her everyday. She was all about family, food and a good laugh. @The Fort prayers going to you and your wife. My Grandma had small cell lung cancer. She was diagnosed about a year and 7 months. She battled it. In my mind she didn't lose the battle. This was a view from her porch.

I want to thank everyone again! It is truly appreciated!

So sorry to hear about your grandmother, Taylor. Please accept my condolences. I think she picked a great knife to be a favorite...I'm in total agreement on the color.

Taylor your grandmother sounds like a phenomenal woman. Cancer fighters do not lose the battle, they are eternal warriors. I hope you and your family can find peace.

Sometimes you get a knife that just clicks in every way. This one is incredible, rams horn Zulu by Andy Fannin. First time I have handled a knife by him and I sure hope not the last.

Taylor, very sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers for your family during this difficult time. Your Grandmother sounds like she was an amazing woman.

Warm weather continues, so these small, flat and light knives are a joy to carry when dressed lightly. How you dress (jeans vs. light trousers with slash pockets) makes a real difference when choosing daily carry.

Once again this. I wish somebody could make some Burlap Micarta like this old rag-mat it's shown on

H HFinn yes the weather this month is unlike anything. It's getting near a drought in this part....

That’s a beauty! He is making me a Zulu right now, can’t wait to get it in hand and see his work first hand. I actually saw this one on Instagram and thought about asking if he would sell.

Thank you much, you will love it! Top notch quality : )

I finally took a decent picture of the Giraffe bone on this Fremont. The surface is smooth and glossy which makes it difficult to capture.

Another beauty Drew. Zulu is becoming my new favorite.

Did you mod that blade or are my eyes playing tricks on me because of the patina?
