Post Up Your NEW Gear ...

Friday morning at about 0545, I made my annual trek to Tractor Supply to buy a couple of synthetic winter shirts. Was home by 0630.

I made a small 4-knife batch of these 12" choppers in 1/4" thick CPM 3V steel. One is for myself, one is for one of my best friends and the other two are just extras. I intended to use them as a heavy duty camp knife and for brushing in ground blinds in deer/duck woods. I did a tall flat grind and heavily skeletonized tang. Handles are all heavily bead blasted micarta to improve traction, especially when wet. The flats are tumbled and the grind is done with a belt finish. And, they each got a kydex sheath with drain hole. They came in at 11oz or 14oz with sheath. You can sure do a lot of work with these for under 1 pound with sheath!

I want one just like it with full tang and 5/32 instead of 1/4.... PLEASE

Picked up some new army liners a couple weeks ago on sale for $6 each!!

 

[leghog]

Get the Arctic shell and suspenders for those pant liners. They too are inexpensive.

 

[baldtaco-II]

The trouser ensemble is about 30 quids worth of inexpensive here unless you need the mental midget size.

Are those fleece?

Not really, but hydrophobic and insulating. 69% polyester, 12% acrylic, 7% wool, 6% rayon, 6% other fibers.

Those are they. Ensure you buy the M-1951 suspenders too as they are the only way to hold them up.

my first survive! knives...a cru forge v 4.7. first impression is it's worth the hype regarding fit & finish...should make the wait for the 4.1 a little easier.

Landi Knives Scandi Bushcraft. O1 (my first) and it was on sale so thought I would try it.

Queen's Cutlery premium skinner in D2. Dressed the first deer a week or so ago. Nice little all around knife w a very nice sheath. Made in USA.

 

[TheMadIndian]

Picked up the ursack, kind of a pain to cinch up. I'm going to have to watch the videos more closely I guess

Scored a 10cm Zebra pot with the metal clips for $15 shipped. Next to a GSI cup for size reference:

Been on the market for years
I have had the drop point in oak for a long time
One of the understated knives around
They cost about $50 which is on hell of a price
Takes time to get the D2 to where you want it, then it holds a working edge for a long time
I put a large split ring on the top loop of the sheath and hang it from a light aluminum carbiner because the leather belt loop is a little too weak

Highly recommended
