Any long term feed back on this one a year plus later? I’m looking hard at their Canadian but haven’t found a ton or reliable world reviews.

I was sharpening a Wheeler 3 finger that had gotten dull using the Work Sharp Precision and noticed that the height of the bevel it put on was several times larger than the original edge. What is the functional difference in the very small bevel that was originally on there and the new wider...

I’m not sure if it’s nationwide or store by store but our Duluth Trading had 25% off almost everything today including knives. I was shocked to see a White River Small Game in their display, it’s been on my to buy list for a long time. I now own one after trading them $120. If you are close to...

Looks like Zero Tolerance is having a MAP holiday like Spyderco did a couple weeks ago. SMKW was the first email I’ve seen but I’m betting the others will be coming soon...

I recently won a drawing on a local hunting site for a knife made by a local smith. The last few years he’s done a giveaway at the start of deer season and I was the lucky winner this year. I had looked at his work before and decided to go ahead and order a knife as well. My thought was a...

I’m finally getting my new to me old CVA Optima lined out and ready for a range trip. I had bought 2 bottles of BH209 this summer after reading glowing praise for it everywhere but after some further reading I’ve found my breechplug is not reliable with it. What is your favorite powder for an...

I recently lost my father and want to buy a knife in memorial, after I lost my grandfather I bought a 1911. There is no direct tie but I can look at it and remember when and why I got it. The only knife I remember my dad using was a small Gerber Gator folder so there isn’t a favorite model or...

After all of @JShirley discussions on the benefits of serrated H1 I want to add a bigger (than ARK) fixed blade to my collection. Right now I’m leaning towards the Fish Hunter or Aqua Salt. I had looked at the Jumpmaster a year or two ago and am still open to it but have moved more towards...

Slow night around the house so I’m posting for fun. If you were limited to one manufacturer for all of your knife options, who would it be? I have two that are in heavy rotation and a third that would fit in. Benchmade: I’ve carried a Bugout almost daily for the past several years. My hunt...

Bark River just dropped a run of their bird and trout knives I’m been watching for a while. I think I’m going to pick one up while they are available but am stuck on handle selection. Historically I’ve went with something basic and practical, micarta or G10 usually. Lately I’ve been on a big...

I purchased an older used CVA Optima a couple months ago. After messing around with it I realized the ramrod was not threaded for any attachments so I ordered a cut to fit rod. The instructions were to drop it in the barrel and cut flush. I did so and now have a ramrod longer than the barrel...

I was unaware of the manufacture mark on Buck blades to date their year of manufacturing. I found it interesting so I thought I’d post for anyone who wasn’t aware this was out there. https://www.buckknives.com/about-knives/how-old/

I have some Bass Pro rewards that I am trying to use before I forget about them and lose them. I’ve narrowed it down to the following options that are available locally, would be open to others but these are leading the pack. Looking for opinions and feedback...

I bought my first black powder rifle today an older used CVA Optima. What do I need to know about shooting BP? Any tips or tricks that I should know? I’m starting from scratch on this one.

The current state of the world has caught up with me the last month. I’ve wanted a Bushmaster Meatcrafter since I saw them introduced last year, I had looked at them a month or so ago and found some in stock. I received an unexpected Christmas bonus and decided to go for it, out of stock...

I’ve been slowly working to get Grandpa’s Stevens 22/410 OU back to full working order after 80 years of neglect. The current project is to get the trigger guard installed. At some point the front screw broke or stripped and he tried to glue it back on. I sourced a screw from Numrich but the...

Does anyone have any comparisons for the BK16 and BK62? I was looking at a 16 but am also considering a 62. Blade profile looks very similar, use would be general camp and woods use. @hso looking at you

I’m wanting a rangefinder for archery hunting. I had picked out and ordered the Cabelas 1600R and just got an email that my order was canceled. :cuss: I’m not too concerned with max range since it will be primarily an archery finder. What I do care about is having a red readout. Any...

I’ve always seen the recommendations to carry a multi tool but I have never found one that would fit in my EDC. Last weekend I was duck hunting and went to load my Benelli at the pond and found my gun locked up. I had recently taken the trigger assembly out to oil a sticky safety and forgot to...

I think I want a “Bowie”. I know that term captures a lot and means a lot to different people. I’m not concerned with any historical aspect but not opposed. I am currently leaning towards a BK-9. It there anything else out there that offers a big blade Bowie style that I should look at? No...
