Traditional Knife and Gun Picture Thread

[Markeologist]

Probably some spot visited by Norman Clyde…he did a bunch of first ascents in Central and Southern Sierra. Infamous for his huge backpacks which included knives, axes, pistols, ammunition, cast iron pans and numerous books. Was still hauling such packs into the high country well into his 70s.

Can’t figure out why my photos of Norman and his pack imbedded into message I was replying too…here is one again:

I put every bit of that holster wear on this thing personally. Killed lots and lots of raccoons hunting barns in Iowa with terriers back in the 1980's and 90's. It is far and away my favorite handgun. Bought it new back in the late 1970's as my first handgun. Someday, a grandson will own it.

Good looking knife and better looking rifle. Not to mention the 7x57 is my absolutely favorite cartridge. That might explain why I have 3 of them

I agree. It is my favorite cartridge also!

What makes the Shiloh so much heavier than the original? Do they have the same barrel length? Does the Shiloh have a noticeably heavier barrel or thicker stock?

An 8lb rifle would have a little kick with a .45-70 load. The velocity wasn't that high but they were throwing a pretty big piece of lead.

The barrel on the original is 34" long, at the mussel it's 13/16" square.
The Shilo is 30" long but is 29/32" square, the stock is much heavier also.

I wouldn't think it would matter but the old rifle is chambered for a 44-90

A couple of years after the 1873 rifle model was released Uberti put out an option of a 34" barrel with peep sights. This one also in .45LC

It's the first knife I commissioned Ken to make for me several years ago when we first became friends on and off the forum.

We designed it together based upon some ideas from a copperhead and hunter pattern...but with blades of my choosing at a closed length of 4 1/8"

I also had Ken make a single blade shadow pattern...

Difficult to capture the same balance and feel of a vintage rifle.
