Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

Time to dig through the safe...Knives were my Dad's, M1911A1 was made in November 1941. My dad enlisted in January 1942 (USAAF: 1942-1946) When he was issued a 1911A1 (not the one above) he asked the armorer for a Colt. He's in the middle bottom of the photo...

God bless him and my thanks to him.
Great picture!

Drop my toilet paper and step back from the mess that you just made between your feet.

Ruger Mini-14 from 1987 and Ka-Bar 5011 from 2014. Actually, I'd give a needy soul some TP or food or bourbon (just ask, don't steal it).

Have you shot the EMP much? How's it run?
I keep looking at them.

Bought the Buck 110 in 1973 just as I was turning 13 and the Ruger Super Single Six in 1981 just when I turned 21. Both were purchased at “Conti’s Surplus” where I spent many an hour in my youth. Mr. Conti also sold me my first serious rifle somewhere during this period as well...Ruger No. 1 in 30.06.

Have quite a few rounds through it, never had a problem. Shoots like a laser and carries great! I have heard that some of them can be finicky regarding ammo that they like but that has not been my experience. My most carried gun these days. On right now.

Thanks! Ironwood.

Both guns are really nice, Dave, but her Uberti is an absolute beauty, as are the knives. The white gun slip is on a level all its own!

Thanks Stuart. First slip like that I've made. Took longer to make the pattern than to make the slip. Its inside out so its roughout on the outside and then the smooth leather is against the gun.

Beautiful knives with those guns. I am not sure where I saw this, but there was a cool picture of a Spyderco Mule (?) beside a rifle, it had white scales, was it here? I would like to see it again if anyone can find it.

Since this is traditional forum probably not here...there are other knives and guns threads elsewhere on BF ... perhaps check over there.

Thanks. Probably there.
