Re: Remington Dynamite Knife

At first when I saw the photo, I thought it was a knife referencing the 1917 Halifax catastrophe in Nova Scotia, a ship full of dynamite exploded wounding/killing around 11,000 people.

Re: numbered editions

I've witnessed guys pay quite a bit more for a low serial number. Personally I don't really care if it is #5 or #517, but everyone is different.

Re: Maple Syrup time for 2024

I once used a 55 gallon drum with a hole cut out for a pan. Started early in the morning and cooked well into darkness. Finally tried to finish up in the kitchen. Big mistake. Started to steam my wallpaper off the wall. Ended up with around a half gallon of syrup but never did it again. Sounds like...

Re: Maple Syrup time for 2024

You can tap in the south, its actually becoming more popular. Sap runs up in trees, probably not as strong a runs as up here. Small scale boiling in the kitchen can be a messy thing, That I know for sure!. Last time we did it we used a propane turkey cooker . Last time a buddy and I tried it we had...

Re: Maple Syrup time for 2024

Thanks for the details on the process. I'm curious about the tapping process. We have people near us in Wayne, WV that process maple syrup. My nephew and his kids ( he has 9 and he's in his early 40's) are giving it a go. They've made hundreds of gallons of apple butter the past few years. It's a c...

Re: Maple Syrup time for 2024

Another little update for our maple syrup process. We had a few days hit 70 degrees here, which is not great for maple syrup makers. I have my fingers crossed we will get another cold spell and make a bit more syrup, but it likely is all over. Here's the next step. Once the syrup gets close, it is d...

No, they are a different pattern. The Phoenix Jack were 3 5/8, and these are 3 3/4. Pretty close, but they are a completely different pattern number / frame.

Re: Spirit of Steele knife show in Pigeon Forge, TN

I was there fall of 2022. I didn't make it to the show in 2023. Nice big show, clean and spacious room. Just about every table full of nice knives, both antique, custom, new & used traditionals, and a few modern. The crowd wasn't crazy packed, but it was steadily busy the whole time I was there....

Re: Maple Syrup time for 2024

You can see how thick the steam is looking across the flue pan. And here is a shot of my wife checking the syrup hydrometer to see if the syrup is getting close. About once per hour, we need to rake all the coals out because they build up and block the draft. We pull them out, and then shovel them o...

Re: Maple Syrup time for 2024

Back at the Sugar House on Sunday, my wife, my dad, and myself lit the fire and boiled the sap until it was gone. I grab wood from the big pile outside and throw it in close to the evaporator. My wife loads the evaporator, approximately every 5 minutes non-stop until the sap is gone.

Re: Maple Syrup time for 2024

A little update for our maple syrup season. Yesterday was rainy and cold, but we went out and gathered sap from all the buckets. I was fortunate to have some family and friends available to help out, and many hands make light work. We did the entire woods in about 4 hours. One of our giant maple tre...
