Stephen, I am sorry if I did not respond in a timely way, or maybe I did respond to you. I am getting old. I like the Bear Grylls equipment, I was Gerber fan before Bear Grylls came along. I like his stuff and I think he is a good and valid person…

Hey JJ, I added some new pics, toenails, sunfish, a Camillus folder. You don't happen to have a model # for that boxcar whittler in your collection do you?

- No

- Favorite Kind of Knives
- Every Day Carry, elephant toenails, work knives, survival knives, pocket knives, some historical knives. I actually cannot think of too many knives I do not like. Ever since man struck a flint to make fire, he also produced the first knife. That flint that made fire, had as fine an edge as any knife ever did. 'True e'nuff'.
- About Me
- Retired in 2010, Armageddon is a possibility, as a responsible member of society I began to prepare for the unimaginable future world and re-discovered my love for knives. I remember as a little boy growing up in Colorado. I saw a boy with a pocket knife, He could open it, he could close it, and he could cut things with it. When he was finished, he could put it in his pocket and nobody would ever know. That is unless he wanted them to know. As a little boy that day, I wanted that knife named 'Jack'.

The Boxcar Whittler number is RR1044, that's in the black bone scales. There are 2 other handles available, but I think that the sixe and shape of it (as well as the Boxcar name) called for the Black. You can check at SMKW and enter the term Boxcar in the search box, that should get you the additional numbers.

- Shoot, for $25.00, GOOD DEAL. Have someone duplicate the sheath and have JUMP on it instead of BEAR.

- Not implying that Gerbers are cheap, but the Gerber BG knife is considerably less than the one that he had made for him. (http://www.survivaltopics.com/survival/bear-grylls-knife/) I'd have to agree that, the way things are going, we'll be needing those skills again, real soon.

Good job, Robert.
I never compare the size of someones collections. My feelings are that if you only have one knife that you truely appreciate, you're a collector. Of course it's better to have more than one. ;-)
What are your impressions with the new Gerber "Bear Gryls" knives? He was pretty exacting in the selection of his knives, when the show first came on, and the price reflected it. Just wondering how they stack-up.

Robert,
As far as I know, all you need to do is repeat the process. The only limiting factor is 25 per day.

"Old" eyes, with cheater specs.
Must have 6 or 7 pairs of reading glasses laying all around the house, any more.
My preference is a CASE Seahorse whittler, but have a standard wedge back in my pocket most all the time. I have used a Dremel but find it more relaxing to use a pocket knife.
Working (off and on) on a discussion, over at the General Store, on pit carving. Probably not the best time of year to be working with summer fruit, so it's still in progress. (Lesson #2 does have my most used "Tools".)
