Re: Ornithology (Bird) Thread
Never considered myself a “bird watcher” until my daughter gave us a Bird Fi feeder for Christmas. Now I really enjoy watching the varied species that are attracted to the feeder.IMG_2335.jpeg Of course, there have been squirrel problems. We switched to pepper treated seed and installed a “squirrel...

Re: Pocket knife ID?
Pictures need to be much better with a neutral background and good lighting. Photos of the knife, front and back with blades open and close ups of the tang stamps must be sharp to read the markings. Also include the overall length of the knife with the blades closed.

Re: Friends, I suggest you familiarize yourself with my knives.
This is great. We will get to see knives that are otherwise seldom or never seen in the US. Thanks for showing.

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
I considered a Bond Arms Derringer myself. I wanted the Texas Defefender but I changed my mind after watching a video of a guy standing about 3 feet from two 20 ounce bottles of water and he couldn’t hit either one of them. He was obviously a bad shot but I’m not exactly a professional marksman mys...

After you point it out, I can see Wazirabad, but I probably would have missed it too.

Re: Anyone collect knives from Sweden/Norway/Denmark & Finland?
I picked this one up in a box of misc recently. It is marked Falcon, stainless steel, Sweden. Did not come with a sheath, probably had one of those hard plastic ones originally. Takes a good edge and would work great for filleting.

Re: Folding Saw
In sorting thru some camping gear, I came across this folding saw that I have had for years. It is a Seymour Smith #910 Snap cut, with a Teflon coated blade. I have had this in my camping gear for 30 years or more and it works great for general campsite wood cutting, as well as pruning the branches ...

Re: Is this Western legit?
I've been looking through all my non-TKMWWW documentation as well as through TKMWWW since Olde Cutler asked me about it in a PM and have been unable to find an EXACT match to his knife. It appears to be a 2346 from the 1950 catalog with the the small blades replaced. The 461 brought up by Thomasg f...

Re: Guns & Gun Related Stuff
What was the wrong caliber? That was my tongue in cheek wise crack about it being a 9mm. Colonel Jeff Cooper said the CZ75 would be the greatest modern fighting pistol if only it were in 45acp. For the record, my preferences aside, there’s room for all the calibers at my house. I don’t discriminate...

Re: 2024 Duck Decoy Give Away
The decoy itself measures 14" long and 10 and 1/2" high. This is considered 2/5 scale or about 40% of life size. mighty fine of you OC to keep this annual tradition alive! So if she is 40% of an adult whistling swan, these creatures are not small at 35” long and 26” tall. I had to Google ...

Thanks guys. Due to procrastinating, poor planning, and incompetent bungling I did not meet my usual date of April 7, but we will get it done in April.

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
I got this Miller Brothers 3 inch bare head jack from Thomasg in the latest POS exchange. With steel bolsters, liners, and pins it was real rusty inside and the handle material needed replacing. The pile side had a wood scale that looked like beechwood, and the mark side inexplicably had been replac...
