Comment by Billy Oneale on December 8, 2011 at 22:22: And here is the Battle Axe trapper. I had to oil the joint on the spey blade to get it to work smoothly. I thought I was going to have to make a call to SMKW tomorrow, but it started working smoothly after some oil.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on December 8, 2011 at 18:16: There not cheap these days. They are currently out of production. Original cost at SMKW was $19.99. I see a lot of buy it nows on eBay floating around $30!

Yeah I kick myself sometimes but at other times I reminded to happy with what you have. It that's that commandment about not coveting thy neighbors knife.

I only have the Sowbelly. I need to get around to picking up the canoe. I wish they'd make their scout knife in this pattern. The blade etch and the corncob jig is flat-out beautiful.

The only real ptoblem with the collection is all the barrels and the flask. Each knife comes with one and they add to the cost. At the end of the day, the barrels take up a lot of space. Don't get me wrong, I like both the barrel and the flask, but if I get around to getting more (if they are re-released) I'm not sure what I'll do with all the barrels.
