The Duluth and Frost River are about the same weight. They are local companies to me. Frost River is better to me, nice guys and they are not so gentrified as Duluth.

Nicely done.

You got to keep that single malt safe and sound.:rolleyes:

Would be interesting to watch, if you can watch it.

Now that is a nicely done knife.

Best thing made in the Upper Peninsula besides pasties. I live 45 miles from their store.

It's interesting to read your accounts of fishing as they are similar but different to those in the United States. When I started fishing 40+ years ago, my father cut a willow stick for rod. Nothing fancy, no reel, but I caught fish. Now I have all kinds of equipment, but not the thrill as the...

This is my favorite, although I rotate through a bunch.

Yes, most Kep's look like an Old Hickory butcher knife with the scimitar top hump knocked off.

Condor Tool and Knife has one coming this year that will be inexpensive. Otherwise many custom makers make a form of it.
