" debarking, chopping, and splitting kindling. It makes a great draw knife, too.
That makes it pretty well rounded in uses for me. Since the downsizing everything has to do extra duties "

National Knife Day 8/24/2019!
Posted on August 22, 2019 at 23:25 44 Comments 10 Likes
Every year we have an excuse to buy a new knife -- National Knife Day, every August 24!
Yeah, I know it's a holiday made up by a marketing department to sell knives, & none of us really need an excuse to buy another knife.
That aside, what are your plans for celebrating...? :)
Camillus CK9: The knife used by Dual Survival's Grady Powell
Posted on May 5, 2016 at 22:12 3 Comments 2 Likes
Recently I had the chance to watch another episode of the current season of Dual Survival, & again got to see Grady Powell using the Camillus CK9. Somewhere I saw someone online stating that Grady Powell designed the knife, but I have not yet been able to confirm or deny this. Camillus has very little detail on the CK9 on its website, & of course TOPS doesn't have anything public about this on its website because it's not technically a TOPS knife.

Okay, this is an interesting story. I don't know what to think of it. I'm a big fan of TOPS Knives, but this story is too important to not post something about it.

Are there any other knife throwers here? If so, anyone recognize the logo on the cup? :)
I notice there's not a group for throwers, hm...

Hey there! The locking straight-razor was done best by knifemaker Ray Rogers. If you go to his website, he has examples of his "Rayzor", models I, II, & III.

Thanks for the welcome Dead Left. Well you know it happened to be a Buck canoe, gift from my daughter, that really got me into liking the canoe pattern. It's currently my EDC and although it is made in China I thinks its very well made. I have branched out and bought a couple of Case canoe knives which are superb quality but expensive, especially in Canada. So I'm slowly building my collection. Boker, Bulldog, Hen and Rooster and even Schrade have put out some nice canoes as well.
