Decided to take a Remmy on our walk today.

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

Thanks dan.

Fresh coffee and a quality knife, that's a fine combination! Nice pic JTX!

Thanks Sasquach. I really like that Remington in your photo.

Coffee and knives go together, Jtx!

Charlie - the profile of that Remington blade looks a bit unusual. Very nice.

I could be wrong about this but to the best of my knowledge all of the more modern Remington knives are made by contract by different cutlers. I strongly suspect that this one was made by Bear MGC. The workmanship is very similar to other Bear MGC knives I have. The shape of the blade and the way it is ground is one of the reasons I think of Bear. Did you notice that it has a double pull? A long pull on the body and a nail nick on the clip. It's well made, whoever made it.

Another day, another walk and the Mighty Muffin Head is wore out!

Chasing squirrels will do that to ya! Nice-looking fixed-blade, too...I'll have to research Muela a little more.

Thanks Dan.

Muela is a cutlery company out of Spain. They make knives of various quality ranging from good to excellent IMHO. The small skinner (about 7 3/4" OAL) in my photo is one in the "good" category. Some of their "high end" knives are very beautiful and well made with high quality materials.

Went out for our walk before the afternoon thunderstorms get here.

That is a beautiful looking knife, Charlie. Try as I might, and using a magnifying glass, I couldn't make out what the tang said.

If you're referring to the knife in Charlie's post above yours, the tang stamp reads "Parker-Imai surgical steel." It is indeed a nice-looking knife.

Dan is correct QS. It's a Parker-IMAI Japan from the 1980s. I purchased it new and have used the hell out it ever since. I'm not sure if the scales are second cut stag or a bone-stag variation.

Nice shot with the log and lone flower. Great looking knife too.

Thank you Dan and Squatch for the clarification.

Great shots Paul!

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

Thanks Charlie I'm a big fan of this style and love reading books about the frontiersman and love primitive skills

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.

Thanks Charlie I'll check it out and great pics guys

Seriously windy walk today. The K-9 Muscle Missile went chase crazy.....until he figured out it was just the wind blowing stuff around!

Nice mock strawberry flower in the photo with the Muela, Charlie. And a very healthy honeysuckle vine in the photo with the Parker. Nice knives too! Looks like the maple is leafing out in the Cold Steel photo.

Charlie is reminding me that I need to get my butt outside. I like that Cold Steel, too...quite a bit bigger than mine.

Thanks Mel. I just try to find eye pleasing backdrops.

It's the Cold Steel Roach Belly, 8 1/2" OAL. It's one of the least expensive knives I have at less than $15.00. I bought it out of curiosity and found it to be a handy knife around the kitchen, both at home and in camp. It's from a series of knives made to resemble ones used on the frontier but with modern materials. Cold Steel says they had the "Black Powder Community" in mind.

Beautiful day for a walk today! The wind died down, mid 60s, and plenty of sunshine.

Knice, Charlie!

Here is a photo from my meandering around outside this afternoon.

Great photos, gentlemen. I like the tree with the face carved in it.
