danbo Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 What are some of your most useful choices in knives? Mine are: Sog 6" Gov-Tac fixed blade. Victorinox Hunter folding. Kershaw Echo 4" fixed recurve. Kershaw BlackHorse II 3.75" folder clip-blade.
danbo Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) These are all hard-use knives.(I've got some fancy ones too.) Edited July 4, 2008 by danbo
Greencoachdog Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 You're gonna cut yourself playing with knives boy!
tjsa Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 My most useful knife...................is the one in my left pants pocket...........a 3 inch Gerber. Can do many jobs with it. Other than that, a quality fillet knife, skinning knife, hunting knife, butchering knives of many different designs for specific purposes, and my personal favorite(but extremely dangerous), a Kershaw double edged divers knife. I have used that knife on fish, deer, moose, partridge, etc. etc. My 2nd favorite, is the Kershaw multiblade knife, comes with a standard "buck" style drop point knife blade, a filleting blade, and a saw blade. Have used that knife on probably every deer we ever shot, and a few moose also.
danbo Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) Good stuff! My newest dream knife is my Buck Raven 5" Simonich Legacy in S30V..awesome! Edited July 4, 2008 by danbo

tjsa Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Uhh Ohh, you got it bad.............just like me 20 yrs. ago. I loved(still do)knives, bought way to many of them, even bought a "rambo" style one made by Kershaw. I saw it, had to buy it. The whole kit, fishing line with hooks in the handle, matches, compass on the butt end, etc. etc. :lol:
danbo Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Yep..the movie "Jeremiah Johnston" did it for me! I was a 17 year old Junior Ranger up in Geraldton when we went "into town" to see it at the theatre! "Did ya ever skin a Grizz, pilgrim?" There are so many great knife makers now! Bark River & Fallkniven are two of the best!!

Bark River & Fallkniven are two of the best!! No movie really did it for me, just like knives. Will Geer, he was perfect for that movie. He had the right voice and demeanor for his acting role. I was also a Junior Ranger, way, way back in 1976, Killbear Provincial Park. Geraldton had a "theater" back then????????????????
danbo Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 1973 at WildGoose Lake camp..best summer of my life. 10 day canoe trip on the Abimissagi R. up to O'Sullivan. I found a spot where I caught a pickerel on every cast! Started using my worst lures to see if there's any they wouldn't take! Damn. I can hear that big single-engine Otter coming in now!.... great memories..

danbo Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 I'd make a nice wooden display stand for your Pappy's knife .
Greencoachdog Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 What do you do when you need a knife and don't have one??? Yer up Chocolate Creek without a popsicle stick!!!
tjsa Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 What do you do when you need a knife and don't have one??? Yer up Chocolate Creek without a popsicle stick!!! Thats never happened to me Glen, always have some kind of knife, be it a pocket knife, or box cutter on me. And outdoors, usually have 3 knives, minimum.
Greencoachdog Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Thats never happened to me Glen, always have some kind of knife, be it a pocket knife, or box cutter on me. And outdoors, usually have 3 knives, minimum. It doesn't happen to me either Tom, but is the reason people are always asking me to borrow my knife (they know I always have one or more on me)... and I don't really like to loan out my knives, not even for a minute!
danbo Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 Yessiree..you can never have too many tools! Of course what ever Duct Tape doesn't fix, a hammer will!!
Greencoachdog Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) Yessiree..you can never have too many tools! Of course what ever Duct Tape doesn't fix, a hammer will!! Don't forget the WD-40 Dan'l! If it moves and shouldn't... duct tape! If it doesn't move and should... WD-40! ... and I have as many hammers as I do knives! Edited July 4, 2008 by Greencoachdog
tjsa Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) Pocket knife, 12 oz. hammer, and duct tape????????????? Kinda of a cure all for lots of problems, :lol: Ohh, forgot about Electrical Tape, be it black or white. Solves many problems, ties up loose ends, insulates possible problems, and...............if you dislocate your pinky finger while fishing for salmon on the north shore of Lake Superior, 2 hrs. away from any hospital, put your hand in the cold water for a few minutes until its completely numb, then re-locate your digit. Wrap in electrical tape, and your good to go Edited July 4, 2008 by tjsa
Greencoachdog Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Pocket knife, 12 oz. hammer, and duct tape?????????????Kinda of a cure all for lots of problems, :lol: What the hell you gonna do with a 12 oz. hammer???... drive a thumbtack? My lightest is a 16 oz. "trim" hammer, going up to the 32 oz ball peen... unless you count the 8 and 10 lb. sledges.

tjsa Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 12 oz. is an all around tool, 16 oz. and up is for specific use, better have the pipes for swinging that weight. I don't have the "pipes" :lol:
John Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Didn't all y'all Momma's tell you boys not to play with knives.......someone's gonna get hurt reeeeeal bad!
