A couple buddy's and I were goose hunting this morning (well three buddy's counting my lab Clyde). We had a group of geese come around behind the blind tall but within range and they weren't going to land so we decided to take them. We start shooting and the first goose my buddy on the right of...
I will have to try and get better pics of this one before it leaves. Everything is snow covered here and was getting terrible reflections and uneven tones.
A couple in my Law Dog pattern finished and ready to send. One complete rig for a Blackhawk 5 1/2 barrel and a left hand holster for a Colt 4 3/4 (pictured with a new vaquero).
Does anyone have a Cabelas rebate/code they aren't going to use? Maybe 30 off 150 or something. They seem to send them all the time and now that I need to place an order I don't have one.:2:
Seems like there are always ones people have on the duck hunters forum but not now, maybe they quit...
Just wait a few minutes.
We've had a long freezing spell and everything has been under a layer of ice for most of December and now that the new year is here it's supposed to be in sunny and in the forty's next week. I just woke up and it warmed up through the night. Its 55 degrees right now and...
The other thread on belt seems got me wondering why knifemakers all run 72 inch belts.
I buy the 132 for less per inch than the 72, I'm told the reason is the seem is a larger part of the cost. Besides that the 132 belts seem to last probably three times longer even though they are less than...
Temps are back up in the twenty's and we have freezing rain, with some sleet and snow on top of it on the way. Kids probably won't have school tomorrow if we get what they are saying. Will be lucky to walk out there tomorrow, driving will be slow going.
When the temps stay close to the...
Just finished this one in time for the Guild show, ATS 34, 11 1/2" blade, 16 1/2 OAL. Fittings are 304.
I wasn't able to get a real good pic, cant get the lighting right.
Anyway here it is.
In it's sheath on one of my Cheyenne gun rigs.
Show you big lunkers.
He is an 80# Blue cat my brother caught a couple years ago on the Ohio. He is 6-2 and about 230 to give you an idea how big the fish is. He's caught a couple close since then but this is the heaviest fish so far. We've caught Flatheads longer than this one but didn't...
Here are a couple pics of the old grinder that was my great grandfathers and I got it from my grandpaw. The pedals and Oak boards on the side that hold the water pan and the grinding wheel are original but my Grandpaw rebuilt it and replaced much of the rest of the wood about 15 years ago before...
Carpenter recently sent me some steel for experimenting. I had an order for one of these guys in 440C so I made this one for myself with the Carpenter CTS-40CP which is powdered 440C. I'll take it to Blade so it can be seen either on my table or at the Carpenter booth. I had planned to have more...
Just finished this knife and rig, They are a different color but thought I'd put them together for a photo. The gun rig is a custom order and the knife and sheath I just finished for Blade show.
I've had emails and questions on surface grinder conversions, where to get parts and if I had any pics of ones I've converted so I took some pictures of this last conversion I built. Sorry some of the pics are blurry but you can get the idea.
On my conversions I use a double idler set up that...
Besides being more sanitary another advantage of a mirror polished hunting knife is if your running late you can put your face paint on in the stand.:D
"Safari" knife finished. My wife has been on me to make another one of these.
Mirror polish 440C and a Blesbuck handle
Sorry, not very good photos. Got a reflection on the cutting edge and the rest are not the greatest.
