All About Pocket Knives

This is the one Boye knife I have. Tho it has been used with some frequency, after 7 years it has never required a single sharpening.

Except for some of the work he does on his fancy pulls, his knives are not aesthetically pleasing to my eye, but they are totally functional and maintain an edge like no other knife I have ever owned.

Ice was kinda hard on the greenery and trees ole magnolia touching ground. Lots of limbs to pick up.

Looks like you got a little ice BH. Be careful. Hope your power stays on.

Wow!

I know enough to know that every one you see were not made by Native Americans during historical times.

People are still flint-knapping points.

Thanks for that Info Charlie . All of these point were found on the Seneca River in SC My guess would be Native American Indians But I wasn't there when they where flint napped. Most have been tumbled not any perfect points in the bunch .So if I where trying to pass this as good points I believe they would be better than what I posted . Charlie I guess you know less than I do on this. Was trying to see if someone that had more dealings with Arrow heads could point me in the right direction on them.

My only good source, Mr Lawson Corley, a noted local historian, passed away a few years ago.

Lawson was an Army Air Corps Navigator, shot down over Belgium and spent thirty-six months in a German POW camp.

He sold insurance, but his life was Native American artifacts.

Love them! A big thanx! A pair of downies raised a clutch of eggs in a weedy old crab apple tree of ours a few years ago. The tree has become firewood, smoking wood and a really nice walking stick since then.

I've got one that's died and I need to cut it down
I'm gonna miss it because the only time I ever got to see cedar wax wings was when they would show up and strip the dried fruit from the tree.

Beautiful home for veterans love ones to stay at.

thank the Lord for places like that BH.

You got that right DL.

Winter is upon us this morning. Cattle facing the south are happy to see the feed truck. Cattle facing the north.....not so much.

I know that many of you have conflicting feelings about the Russians, but the video is cool.

Eustace, I admire much about Russian culture. Would the performers in the video be Cossacks?

Hardly. In the best case, their heirs or fans of a Cossack idealized image.
Contrary to prevailing among the majority belief that the Cossacks are ethnicity, in fact, to be Cossack is a kind of profession and for a very long period of time from XIV to XVIII century and beyond. In Cossacks unite different people, irrespective of origin, and to a time and regardless of religion, guided by a common cause and a similar lifestyle.
The term Cossack comes from Mongolian and means "robber".

Thanks very much for the information. I had thought they were an ethnic group.
