Bob trapper B Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 3,960 Northern Nevada	Originally Posted by cbat Case 4 1/8 in trapper is my edc and has handled anything from moose on down, Same here. My brother got it for me for Christmas ten years ago, I’ve carried it every day since. Muskrats, beavers, foxes, skunks, badgers, coyotes, bobcat, deer, antelope, trout, walleye, pike, grouse, pheasants, and my steak at dinner, stripping wires, it’s done it all. The handle is missing a chunk and the blade is starting to show signs of wear from sharpening, might be almost time to retire it. "I have two guns, one for each of ya."

Also im not sure I could get through a day without my knife, when we flew to Florida last year I told my wife I was going to mail my knife to my buddy that lived there and we were staying with. She also knows how to mess with my head to get her way, “ what if they lose it in the mail, you will never see it again...”. She won, but I felt naked without it. Heres my daily carry knife. Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

They were speechless but then again they probably figure heat comes from the furnace and food comes from the grocery store! Chris >>In God we trust<<

I picked up a short machete this year for carrying hunting I keep getting all tangled up in vines and such pushing through swamps and fields short-chete a couple swings and I have a new trail but as a 12 incher not too hard to carry. BraskaYoter , you used to be able to put knives in your checked baggage , I Think you still can. been a while but when I flew to FL that is what I did and just brought a folder , Disney checks the ladies purses but not your pocket America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have not been since they started that. Before They would catch your knife if you used its pocket clip. They never noticed the 380 in the ankle hoster or knife if you dropet into your pocket.
