Impulse buy

[Leadbelly]

Had some cash in my pocket and walked into the knife store........ You know the rest of the story.
Nothing special, just a case fixed blade Bowie with stacked leather handle.

At least your impulse buys are useful.

I still haven't worn that leisure suit from 1978.

Sweet knife. I like stacked leather.
My first and most used hunting knife is an old stacked leather Estwing.

Not sure how useful she will be. This blade is huge compared to what I normally use. Guess it'll work well for cutting the windpipe out of a deer.

Can't recall handling a estwing knife. Got one of there hatchets, the thing is built like a tank!

Yea,,, I guess they weren't very popular because I've never seen another.
Great knife though. Good ol 1095 carbon steel and stacked leather.
I'd post a pic but I haven't been able to get photobucket to work for a couple weeks now.
It's always something with them. I really need to find another photo hosting site.


When you say "big" ,,,,just how big is that knife?
Maybe you can loan it to Rich for clearing brush for a while.

Not quite that big........... Maybe big enough to use as a fleshing knife in a pinch

Finally got PB working.

If you start now here's what that Case'll look like in 50-60 yrs.

 

[tripod3]

looks nice, I have one about 1/4 that size.

 

[Leadbelly]

Very nice Charlie! I'm going to keep a eye out for one!

 

[RePete]

I'm sure they're out there but I've never seen another.
My best friend's dad gave it to me back in the 60's. I have no idea how old it was at the time but it had been bouncing around in the bottom of his Jeep for years.

Best knife I've ever owned for allot of reasons.

Felt your pain rich, I hunt some nasty brush on some of these ridges around my place. I've bought a bunch of machetes over the years. Best one for the money IMO is the cold steel kukri http://www.knifehog.com/cold-steel-magnu...CFVNk7AodvDwAzQ I've had real good luck with it over the years I'll post pics of her tomorrow.
They say these are good outfits http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/produc...CFahr7AodU1EA_g never used one me self.
