That’s a “git-er-done” pocketknife. Was that one your Granddad’s?
No Bruce, that was one I picked up that made its way around to a few forum members to put some use on. The top one in the photo is the one I remember Granddad packing since I was a kid. One vivid memory I have is him teaching me to make a whistle out of a willow branch with it. You’ll notice he reshaped the spey blade to better suit his needs. He didn’t own a gun, musical instrument or a vehicle that wasn’t modified in some way or another to better fit him.

Now I remember the story of his knife. Thanks for the refresher - great to own an object you can identify with someone you loved.

Nice pic, I love the green barn shield & the buffalo cutout one is pretty awesome tooHere are my newest additions. The #18 Buffalo horn and fancy steel one has been on my radar for a while and as expected, it's awesome. If they made a sowbelly with this configuration it would be the end all be all.
The #47 is from the Case Pass around box which you should definitely check out and get on board with! This is so nice.

Awesome, I love to hear stories like that behind stuff.

Thanks -- I'm a big fan of the dog's head shield, as well. The nice color tones on this one are attributable to the fact that this particular shield is 14K gold -- one of the 1984 offerings of the Ka-Bar Collector's Club.That's a great pic, I love the dog's head shield.
