Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades WDBS "Boner" by Rick Menefee!

What, you may ask is a WDBS Menefee Boner?
Well, I�ll be glad to tell you, but first, an anecdote to set the mood.

Seems there was this snail that went to the new car store. He wanted to buy a new car. Not just any old car but something really special. Well he negotiated with the sales man and then the sales manager to hammer out a deal. However before he would sign on the dotted line he had a final request. Said that they couldn�t do what he asked that it was no deal. OK sez the sales manager, what is it.
Well the snail tells them that he wants a big red �S� painted on both the driver�s and passenger doors.
No problem sez the sales manager. Come back in a couple days and we�ll have�r done. So the snail signs and departs. Two days late the car is ready and he comes back to pick it up. As he is getting into the car to drive off, the salesman inquires of him�.. Sir, I�ve had a lot of strange requests, but never to paint a big red �S� on the doors of a brand new car. What gives?
The snail replies, when I drive an ordinary car I�m just a snail. But when folks see me in this ride, they will exclaim �look at that S-car go��..

With that in mind, a while back I was palavering with Ricky Bob. I mentioned the fact even though I hunt....


Free range



Protein fed



Monster



Hill country



1 1 pointers,



Here in Texas





Old, short, fat, bald guys like me that shoot ear tagged deer, in pens and tied to feeder legs, don�t get much notice or respect, unlike guys who hunt elk, moose, mule deer, sheep and goats in the western states and Alaska.


Well Ricky Bob told me he had a knife in mind that he could fashion for me, and no matter where I went, north, south, east or west, folks would take notice.

Said it was a �WDBS Boner�

I said, don�t matter how long it takes or how much it costs, that�s what I need.

Well surprise, surprise, it came in the mail today.


A Walrus Dick



Blue Streak �Boner



Rick said he had a piece of petrified Walrus Dick that he would inlay as a shield.



Said with that inlay and this micarta with a blue streak, the knife would have �much ju-ju�.

According to Ricky Bob, though, I oughta be careful how much I rubbed it as it might start swelling on me.

It didn�t swell, but it did start throbbing.

Won�t be going to my lease till next Thursday or Friday so no chance of skinning something in the next week, so I did the next best thing���.



I went and bought a 4 lb. beef loin. Man, it cut through the silver-skin like Darth Vader�s light saber.



Cut six nice filets and and another 19 oz of thin slices for tomorrows stir-fry before it settled down a mite.

Wow!

Thanks Rick. Now the next time I�m strollin� down a path in Montana, I�ll be able to hold my head high.

Best,
