Re: Show off your fixed blades!
How about Canadians and automatic knives KJ?
I was under the impression that any knife that opened either by gravity or push button were banned from import there. Are you allowed to carry them there? Or is it just import restrictions...
I regularly ship knives to a buddy in Toronto, and all of the autos have to have the springs removed, and shipped separately, and anything that "flicks" open, I have to torque down the pivot screw(s).

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I can certainly appreciate what y'all are relating. I shot my ex-S-I-L's S&W Magnum .500 and half way through one cylinder the fun was all done. Two rounds made me seriously consider whether I wanted to pull the trigger one more time.tongueriver wrote:I hear you! Fired one shot from my Son's .454 Casull revolver and that was enough. Not much blood, but lotsa swelling. (There is little additional knowledge to be gained from the second kick of a mule). I really enjoy shooting small calibers, no macho issues here.knife7knut wrote:Elmer Keith was definitely one of a kind. I remember seeing a magazine article on a gun he designed that was patterned after a Colt .45 but chambered for .45-70 rounds. He had developed a shooting stance for firing it long distance that really works. From a reclining position on one elbow with the opposite knee raised and the pistol laid alongside the knee and aimed.
Many years later I purchased a similar pistol(a Phelps with an 8 1/2" barrel(cut down from 12")chambered for .45-70. Firing a 500 grain slug out of that was like trying to hold onto a scalded cat. Fired three rounds out of it and sold it the following week.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Ken you are correct. Canadians are not supposed to have auto knives including flickable. I was thinking of traditional style folders & fixed blades of which you can carry whatever you want.

No knife laws in Wyoming. None. Concealed carry of firearms is fine. No permit necessary if a resident. Here is my new Randall that I am taking to Nebraska this weekend for pheasant hunting. Never done this; I am excited.
Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Nice shotgun Cal. Be sure to post pictures of your hunt. I've gone up to S. Dakota hunting. I'm sure you'll have a blast.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Good Luck bird hunting Cal. Hope the weather for you is sunny & cool.
Beauty Randall but i have never understood such a large knife for birds. I have shot big ole turkeys and find a slender clip blade as on a Schrade 194OT to be just right for eviscerating.
I hope you will post here when you get back and let us know how Randall vs. pheasants went. (note, plural, lotsa birds)

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Those are some stout lookin' pair Phil.
Kind of a fighter/Bowie blend.
I'm not familiar with the maker but I'll tell you... It takes some concentration to say his name out loud!

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I was just outbid on an Othello fixed blade 2 nights ago. That one was a stag handle skinner I think... It wasn't expensive, I just missed the buzzer due to dinner.philco wrote:Ken they are also marked "Othello". Made in Solingen, Germany.
Is Alton Wingen Jr. the designer of THOSE two, and Othello the manufacturer or is it a deeper relationship?

Anton Wingen/Othello is the 'Schrade/Case/Buck/Western' of Deutschland! And rightly so. Good stuff!

An original Harry Morseth 1961-1965. Procuring these can be tricky; you better read the book. This one is the real deal.

I love the way he (Mr. Moreseth) sawed, and staged that antler handle.

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Well, now you are just showing off!
The top grind, and the checkered (honeycomb) handles are so compatible that it is like peanut butter, and jelly.
What are the dimensions on that Lil' beaut?
Edit: Do you know where C-Tek originated? Aerospace manufacturing, and then marine industries. It was originally Titanium honeycomb, and today it is everything from HDPE to Graphine.
I wonder exactly what Bark River uses?

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
Gorgeous Barkie !!! Mike must have went back to the drawing board on this
Trailmate and made it just a tad wider backspine to blade edge from the
Marble's Trailcaraft they came out with in 2000 while he was there...
Blade shape is almost identical......
a real little Beef-eater it is
