geo, we all struggle under the long shadow of Charlie. I feel I am Gabby Hayes to his John Wayne. [You may be too young to know who Gabby Hayes was.]
Quick Steel, sometimes I feel too old to remember Gabby Hayes but he eventually comes back in focus.
You guys gotta remember just how important Ol' Gabby was......he was in charge of the chuck wagon! The Duke wasn't goin' too far without being fed right!

That is a beautiful canoe. Very nice handles on that.

I liked the knife except for the handles.
What was on it before MM worked his magic?

Dan, I'm pretty sure it was some kind of antler. I bought it through the mail so I got the next one in stock. Neither side was bad but they didn't match to suit me so I picked out some bone & sent it to Muskrat Man. Now I'm happy & really like it.
But, before I did that, I saw this. It's more of what I had in mind to begin with.

Thank you Charlie. Nice IXL & H&R.
I believe I have a Canoe I've not posted. When i get a picture, I'll be back.
Can't wait to see it!

A Camillus with 420HC, I think, & Gabon Ebony. Probably would have been a Yello-Jacket if Camillus hadn't run out of etched blades (& out of business). Jeffin replaced smooth yellow Delrin with something a little nicer.

I've shown this before but I am fond of it as it was the first knife I bought; it got me started into our hobby.
