A good friend call me from the camp this AM. and said he had shot a 7 foot Gar fish with his bow and they were heading in to clean and weigh it. Good chance we're gonna have bar-b-que, gar fish. I hope they took some pictures. I'll post some if they did. It's time to finish that cabin and get to the woods.

What's wrong with the picture? Is he a whittler or a painter? Maybe one blade should have a brush...lol

Sep 24, 2011
Jan Carter

LOL, that would certainly be different wouldn't it?

Looks like someone has been playing with potoshop, them secondaries could use a bit of work, but the wharnie looks nice.

Gipetto would be proud.

Sep 25, 2011
Jan Carter

LOL, your right. They have not released the knife for sale yet so the pictures show the blades before they have been tipped and sharpened. Cant wait to see this one in person

Sep 27, 2011
Jan Carter

As the cooler weather sets in, does anyone have a GREAT chili receipe?

Oct 8, 2011

Thanks JJ, just ordered my Tidioute #57, when I get it I am going to try making my basket

Oct 11, 2011
J.J. Smith III

Jan, I ordered mine today. :-)

I had wondered some time back about CASE making a smaller version of the a Seahorse, they said that there were no plans to do that.

This looks about perfect.

Even contacted Rough Rider, a couple of years ago, with the suggestion that they modify one of their sleveboard whittlers, to include a wharncliffe. It would have been about the same size.

Oct 12, 2011
Jan Carter

Yeah JJ,

I am excited to hear your thoughts on it

Oct 12, 2011
J.J. Smith III

Can't wait to hold it.

Chili

1/2 lb beef suet

3 lbs coarsely ground chuck

2 large onions, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

16-ounce can tomato paste

4 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon oregano

Tony's Creole Seasoning or salt and pepper

4 cups beef stock (fresh or canned)

1 1/2 cups freshly-cooked pinto beans

Heat suet in deep fry pan or Dutch oven; add ground beef seasoned with Tony's Creole Seasoning or salt and pepper, onions, and garlic. Fry meat until brown; add tomato paste, beef stock, cumin, chili powder, oregano and simmer slowly for about 2 hours. If you plan to use the beans, add them to the Dutch oven 15 minutes before serving.
