Very true and good advice! However, I am fond of traditional materials as in leather sheaths and wood handles. I keep a folder on my body and a fixed blade in my day pack that travels with me on trips. Normal care will keep a "nice knife" nice. Taking along a "nice knife" and using it for...

I enjoyed reading this book.

Anybody that can build beautiful, graceful looking wood strip canoes as you do, aught to be able to build a wood strip trailer to match.

I'm concerned that if he continues to eat hippy food he'll go to the dark side, pick up the devil's double blade, and start paddling a yak again. It could happen.

200 lbs for a man beast like you is child's play. How many KG's is that? Might seem lighter in KG's.

Mem, sometimes I think that we are brothers by different mothers.

I carry folder in my pocket and a sheath knife in my day pack. The folder takes care of most of my cutting needs. I don't wear a sheath knife on me for fear of slipping and falling on it.

Hey Mem, wishing you a speedy recovery. Maybe Mike M could recommend some Hippy waters to drink.

Congrats on reaching retirement! Maybe with all that snow fire season will be mild this year.

Having profiled the liners ( the sides of the folder), next I milled them to receive some black jigged bone. In the picture you can see one of the liners in a fixture being milled. The liner is pinned in place with the pin holes going all the way through the fixture. This allows me to mill both...

Brad, I'm amazed that not only did you get the size correct, you converted it to inches as well. Bonus points for Brad!

I can open a Buck 110 with centrifugal force. It's all in the wrist baby!
