I have an Camillus 72 in my EDC rotation. It was the first 72 I bought several years ago. They do feel good in the pocket and hand!!garddogg56 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:55 pm If you carry that 72 I found that it's one of my favorite carries,Jerry gifted me one years ago and I love it![]()

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
In spite of my admonition that there be no reciprocity, that stubborn old fool Smitty (Papa Bones) just had to send this beauty. I'm too easy of a target because Smitty knows I'm a sucker for anything Marine Corps. Lookee here what he lobbed into my fighting hole. Is that a beauty or what? My sincere thanks Smitty.

I doubt ~Q~ was in the know on Smitty's bomb but he fired a salvo along with Smitty. I really like the orange bone on this older used but not abused Rough Rider Mini-Trapper. Thank you ~Q~. You had me dialed in.

You're very welcome, jerryd; I'm glad you like it. I figured there's a better than average chance you already have that particular model in your prolific Mini Trapper and/or orange-handle knife collection; but, hey, even if you do, you now have two, and IMO you can never have enough orange-handle knives.jerryd6818 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 03, 2020 7:09 pm I doubt ~Q~ was in the know on Smitty's bomb but he fired a salvo along with Smitty.

~Q~ I did not have a RR Mini-T in orange so that was a welcome addition to the stable and much appreciated. Much Grass Signor. (Muchas Gracias Señor) And yes, I was out of pocket last weekend. 1100 miles in 3½ days. Tiring but well worth it. Sure glad I had my cousin along to help with the driving.QTCut5 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 7:22 amYou're very welcome, jerryd; I'm glad you like it.

You had me dialed in.It was intended to arrive on Halloween (which it did, amazingly!) and be a substitute for all the potentially coronavirus-infected candy you would have otherwise acquired by participating in the traditional house-to-house tricking-or-treating routine. However, rumor has it that on Halloween you were out-of-state and engaged in a long-distance, trick-or-treat operation of your own gallivanting around somewhere in the hinterlands of Kentucky.

Smitty's bomb on my "Love Me" shelf (it's the one in the middle). Perfect fit.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I don't know if you would call this a Bomb or not but I'm going to because it was totally unexpected. Wade's son Parker made a sling shot for me and one for my cousin. He did an excellent job. It's been many a year since I last shot one so I wasn't very accurate but I was better than my cousin.
A great big Mega Thank You Parker.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Thanks guys. I’ll pass along the compliments to Parker. He’s been making them for a while now and God even sold a few. He uses natural forks he finds here in the field, and even some specialized ones out of plywood and are deadly. He knows more Scott matching the band material to ammo than I ever knew there was to know. All I know is we have fun plinking with them.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Although I knew this was on it's way, it's still worth the recognition of being posted here.
Doc B & his wife were so kind as to sending me some beautiful patriotic fabrics that I had asked for here on the AAPK. I will use them to make myself some patriotic knife slips & maybe even a mask or two.
Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks to Jim & his wife for sending this to me. It may take a few weeks, but as soon as I get some slips finished, I'll post some pictures.
Thanks for the fabrics Jim & Mrs. Jim! It's exactly what I was looking for!

Well done, Doc.
Tom, I look forward to seeing the slips you make from that patriotic fabric. With your imagination and skills I'm sure they'll be pretty cool (pretty & cool!)
