I know it's been done to death but some time ago I put in an order to Mr. Reeves for one of his double bit Nessmuck hatchets. It finally came in a year latter and right after I unpacked it I noticed a Fiddleback Nessmuck knife with reindeer antler scales in one of the "For Sale" forums. I have...

And your first two favs, pray tell?

Western man has come to believe that he is special, endowed with a soul by his creator. Most people think everything else is dead and has no soul, dirt, water, stone, animals, even people different than themselves. On the other hand I subscribe to the belief that EVERYTHING is alive, dirt...

Crawfish boiled, be sure to pinch the tails and suck the heads. Frog legs fried or roasted wild persimmons, remove the seeds, mash and sweeten with honey or sugar if you have it mix with cat tail flour until pastey and bake rabbit roasted or fried, make gravy from the grease if you fry...

My all time fav a Stewart Marsh Bushcraft; Coming up hard on the outside to beat its time a Bark River Nebula

I just had a great design idea for a new cap for my Chris Reeves hollow handle knife!! LOL :rolleyes:

My latest attempt at a do all combo is a Bark River Golok in a combo sheath with a Brak River Lil Chute. Some of the areas that I hunt and camp are near rivers and the vegetation is thick and nearly tropical in warm weather. In the winter green biar vines and river cane are so thick in some...

I have one of your coco bolo models with a matching tinder safe. Lately I have been keeping Vasoline in the tinder safe and my tinder in an old metal film can. In my experience my gasket model will simply not work without the grease. This new model would be a break through on an ancient...
