Gorgeous Custom Bowie

Yes I miss reading his posts on Big Stuff !

When I travel to countries I can’t have a firearm in it is nice to have a couple of Knives at least, a Big one & a few smaller ones.

Lynn Thompson (& crew) of Cold Steel was a regular at our camps for many years, I have several of his knives, I always wanted a Trail Master, Lynn gave me one & his personal Laredo Bowie one year, fantastic knives, just a little on the heavy side when travelling & more so when working.

Ended up carrying every where a OSI, still large but it’s a bit more manageable in real life.

Makes you feel better, till you’re in a country where every body carry’s a Machete & knows how to use them, bit of blade envy !

Then I wished I had my Gurkha Kukri, still be out numbered but getting close.

I have had a cold steel ltc kukri for years....lives down side of my seat in cruiser next to transmission tunnel.....why they discontinued it I don't know.....photo...not mine as it's nowhere near pristine...but would buy another one in an instant if the started making again..

Lol. I just stopped myself from impulse buying this blade. My goodness, "Now that a knife!"

never bring a knife to a gun fight----->

ALWAYS BRING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT...
I mean, of course, bring a gun...preferably an AK, but, have a knife as well.

This!

Not quite how Dad said it but I got the point. Had a knife in my pocket for the last 61 years.
