Thats good to hear, I have been using my Red Wine #72 for quiet sometime now. I have pushed it to the limit on a few occasions and the knife is still very solid. On the other hand I have my Elk #72, but it is an EDC. It already has some blade play, so I don't want to push it too far. I wander if tightening it in a vice would work?
Johnny, there is a little play in the blade but hardly any.
Hey Robert, after all of this use, is there any play in the blade of that #72?
Thanks buddy
Did someone say Bacon?
Great pics Robert, looks like that knife wasn't the only one having a good time. Thats a nice pig you have hanging there, looks like a few pounds of meat. Your deer down there look a bit different then are eastern ones. I have a good body 6 point waitin' for the opener in a couple weeks.
I hope to share some pics in the next couple weeks, I have a good feeling for this years hunting season.
Here is a doe I saw not too long ago.
Yea Johnny, I helped clean a 6 point a friend killed with his bow and the same weekend I help set a wild hog trap and we were successful and I help clean that one up to with my 72 lockback, just to see how well it would do. If I can get my Grand daughter to post pictures, I will.
Nice picture, Robert.
Now your talking Robert, I would have to get one of those lockback #23s. I can see it now, the perfect hunting kit. A #23 lockback with a 1095 clip blade and a #72 lockback with a spear. It could go into a double barrel sheath system. Yeah, I like it Robert. This is my first year hunting with a #72, I am anxious to see how it preforms. Have you used your #72 for deer processing?
The large lockback, uh it's a 23 I think, well when they finally get them made, I'd love a Primitive Bone. What do you think of that one? Miss Jan and Donnie are A1 in my book. They have brought us knife user/knife collector into the group, if you know what I mean.
