    Thick or thin

    No, I’m not talking about fat bottom girls….just knife handles. Its an all purpose hunting blade. Enough belly to skin in a pinch (though not ideal) but a good size for small game and fish too.

    Greetings from central Georgia!

    Hello! Like so many others, I have been lurking here for years, reading, learning, dreaming. Like most here I love firearms and dream of hunting in Africa one day with a fine rifle companion. I don’t know if I will ever make it, but I have my rifles ready. The top is a Winchester model 70 in...
