Cutco Fisherman's Solution. Was an xmas gift over 20 yrs. ago. I see they are $200 now. Great knife. Blade extends and has a good flex. Can send back to Cutco if you want it back to factory spec sharpness. (Never have. Just sharpen myself) The sheath has a couple added bonus features. Cutco rep told me they would probably replace the whole knife if I sent it in. Still in the drawer, but thinking of sending in. Clean mostly Walleye and the odd trout now and then.

Cliff you were almost staying in my backyard,we spend 6 months of the year about 5 miles from Temple Bay,it is a very nice well run operation.We are going there tomorrow night for an Octoberfest pub night. Glad you enjoyed your stay and our beautiful part of the country

Now THAT is a class act!

June 11-18. And I thought this was so thoughtful. They don't even want a deposit from my brother due to the uncertainty of his condition. They just said if he comes we can just take care of it then. That really is above and beyond.

We just booked a week at Kanipahow's Embarrass Lake Outpost. I will be posting a detailed report here after the trip.

Definitely time and place with the Vibrato. Not the first lure I take out when vertical jigging lake trout (Or anything else for that matter)

Mouthwatering, love stuff like this

What to do with yet another batch of garden tomatoes....... Make soup, then make a loaf of bread and then dine on fresh home made tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Yum yum!

I've been using a Schrade "Old Timer" for the last 20 + years. Yeah it's a long knife but it's so sensitive that you can feel even the smallest of bones as you draw the knife across a ribcage or down the Y-bones of a pike. I've cleaned everything from bluegills, perch, pike to the hard bones of salmon with this knife. It holds its edge every well; with maybe a couple of swipes of a steel between sharpening's. When doing finesse cleaning, like on the Y-bones of pike, I'll hold the knife kind of back-assed but it adds to the sensitivity of the handle. Only had it professionally sharpened once; that was to thin the blade edge back to its original thickness. It wasn't a cheep knife back then it cost approx $75.00; now I see them advertised for better than a buck 50+. I have other knives but always end up going back to my Old Timer. One last thing that has likely helped this knife last so long, it was from the recommendation from Lew here on the board. I asked if anyone here knew of a good sharpening system. That's where Lew suggested to check out the Lansky knife sharpening kit. It works great as long as you take the time to work the tool as instructed. Dan..
