    I've been eyeing one of these up for awhile - you may be pushing me towards the edge...

    I really want one in 3V but I want micarta. I hate the TAD version and I don’t want wood or G10 scales

    Micarta and Rubber Tribal. The jimping notches throw a nice shower of sparks but are rough on a ferro rod. 73AFA580-4F12-4663-AAC2-D5A24E0726ED.jpeg

    Very nice @DYSPHORIC JOY. I’m gonna have to find one to use on loan before I buy. They look great but thats a lot of coin if I don’t like it.

    Old video.
    I think my son was around 9 years old at the time. Has some Winklers in there as well as shots of @Jeff Randall's training area. The farm is a cool training location for firearms, campcraft, ropework, or just grabbing a catfish out of the pond for supper.

    For anybody interested in Winklers, this video, along with the other videos in the same series are worth watching.

    You are about the only person who posts pics that make me want to run out and buy what I already have.

    I think that's the about finest compliment I've ever received regarding my photography.

    So when are you picking up your new Belt knife? :p


    Yeah! It's awesome quality too. Christina threw it in for free with a previous order. Love the simplistic design, and the red center is iridescent.

    Hah, nope. Only on the phone. I'd love to go to the store in person whenever I make it over there, but I have a feeling they'd end up having to kick me out at the end of the day. :D

    With all the stuff I've ordered over the years, through all the various places, I still have no idea how @Reno Lewis knows every single person who's at an establishment he orders from.

    We have very few places to order from up here Brother, and the few places there are tend to have very few staff. After doing business with em for years on end, and speaking to them on the phone, you tend build a working business relationship with em.
