    My gf loves building fish ponds. This is about a 100 gallon fishpond in my backyard. She built one in her backyard which is about 1000 gallons. The plants around the fish pond are bloomin' & 3 frogs & 2 tadpoles have been added by my neighbor! Close-up of Seymour Seagull...

    A question about wood

    I picked this knife up at an antique store about a week ago. I knew it was made in India but I can't find any information about what type of wood may have been used for the handle or sheath. Anyone want to hazard a guess? I'm thinking it might be mahogany, sandalwood, satisal, or teak but I'm...

    And now for your reading pleasure...

    Over by the fire… Over by the fire, I sit with my ol’ pal. He’s been with me quite awhile keeping up my morale. We both enjoy the heat given off by the burning wood. I love this ol’ dog… he makes me feel so good. We still enjoy our walks but our legs they do get tired. He’ll...

    Some Buck collectibles

    Here's some Buck knives (110's, 112's, 532's. and a 500) that have been customized by Ghostown, Yellowhorse and Richard Chischilly. I don't know who made the mini but Ghostown customized it. :1: The 500 has handle inserts by Rich Chischilly and engraving, filework & jewelling by Ghostown...

    Latest knife added to the collection

    A "Liberty & Union" reproduction made in Japan... it must be a phase I'm going through. These type of knives are 'catching my eye' and the price seemed right. 9 7/8" open; 5 3/4" closed; laminated hardwood scales; ornate nickle/silver bolsters; lockback.

    Larry D. Brandstetter

    I bid on this vintage custom folder by Larry Brandstetter offered on e-bay but knew the bidding would spiral out of my league. I became very interested in his work but have found information and pictures of his handiwork to be very scarce on this deceased knifemaker. I believe he was active...

    Sad but true

    The words... 'and I cried' got me started on this rhyme about the passing of man's best friend due to cancer.

    Antique bowie?

    Anyone care to comment on this supposedly Civil War era bowie? Where might it have been made? When? Is the lever for locking/unlocking the blade?

    'Lost Knifemaker' pix and question.

    Back around 2002-2004 I had purchased four miniature knives and a chain damascus bowie from Ken Davis. He was a deputy sheriff from down Florida way who had quite a talent at knifemaking. I've sent out an e-mail to the last address I could find but as of yet... no response. Does anyone know...

    Thumbstuds

    Awhile ago I had asked BossDog if he had anything like the adjustable thumbstud on my Buck 110 for one-handed opening in his inventory. He didn't but he said he'd see what he could do. Well... he had some made up that work just fine! :35: He sent me a few to try out and I finally got around...

    'Sneezes'

    Can anyone tell me why 'sneezes' occur in 3's? All day long today I've had a case of the 'sneezes' and they've been coming in groups of 3's! Just had my latest 'sneezing fit' 5 minutes ago! :2:

    Casper's Dog Run

    For the past number of years I had a cable dog run in the back yard. A cable ran about 10' above the ground from my back porch on out to an apple tree about 75' in the far corner of the backyard. Another length of cable with a dog clip attached hung from a pulley that travelled on this 75'...

    Just some chuckles. Add to 'em if you got 'em.

    Hypothetical question...

    ...can a double bladed (clip point & wharncliffe for example) knife be made with the clip point blade a flipper/framelock and the wharncliffe blade a lockback or linerlock with thumbstud opener... something along these lines? I'm thinking with the closed length no longer than 4". (Please excuse...
