i have only carried one knife since 1972.  a buck 118-the blade's kinda hollowed out some, still in use as of 2018 on a fat little buck.  big game, furbearers, small game and even a fish or 2.  every fall it is the first thing in my pack for hunting season-even before the matches.  sliced my 12 yo thumb open with it when i bought it at the montgomery ward in los arcos mall on a school field trip for marksmanship class.  needs a new sheath-the flap tore off in the '90's.

this was fun, thanks,

lee
