Thanks Doglegg. That's a polite way of saying I know how to run off at the mouth, right?

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks for the kind words, fellows.
QS - the covers on that Bulldog are white. That is what the person I bought it from said, and that is what I say!
Great photo, Charlie. What is that flower blooming in the background?
Ivoryman - that is some nice old bone on the Keen Kutter. Old bone and old steel with a patina like that is hard to beat.

Re: Knife Photography
Thanks Mel. I'm not sure what those little flowers are. My neighbor, who does a lot of gardening, calls them Blue Bells. They grow wild all around here every spring.

Looks similar to my kit back when I was doing the Buckskinning/Rendezvous thing. Had a lot of fun with that.

Re: Knife Photography
If you love frontiersmen, primitive skills, and reading you should check out The Book of Buckskinning series from Muzzleloader Magazine (I have volumes 1 through 5, there may be more). They contain a great deal of "how to" information on primitive skills used to live and trade on the frontier. I think you'll enjoy them.zed6309 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 6:38 pmThanks CharlieSasquach wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 4:22 pmGreat shots Paul!zed6309 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 2:57 pm Great pics guysI took some pics of the french fur trade pocket knife I made, think it goes well with my kit

That's one nice Canoe. The more I see yours, the more I think I need to hunt one down (maybe for my "significant years" collection).

Thanks Dan.
It's a large canoe (or gunboat) lock back, 4 1/2" closed. I found this one on ebay.

I didn't notice it was a lock back until you pointed it out. Very cool!

That's a great photo. I'll have to see if I can do something similar when my new mug arrives.
