I have a pile of metal in the basement that might have a Triumph in it and it's not a motorcycle. I'm not a collector, just "experienced."

Coil springs are for girls. Maybe if you catching short game that other stuff is alright. I hunted a three leged coyote almost two years in a sheep pin. I watched him pump out of a sterling when i was driving up to him luckly he didnt get fare. Newhouse is the standard for coyote wolf and lion and for most anybody that has been on long lines for decades. Crab use to run a lot of 3n's did you get some of them. I also have most every finger crooked from traps

Here are a couple new pattern for me. I'm on a fixed blade kick! 3 1/2 drop-points One has sambar stag the other my own jigged micarta. My fav pocketknifes are the remingtons from the 30's and i think theyre jigged bone and swedge work is what draws me to them. Remington made a line of fixed bladed in the 40's that had jigged and checkered plastic handle after that you start seeing a lot of bakelite and delron being jigged with the trad-pocket knives. Blade thickness and end of the tapered tang measure about .010 ![[Linked Image]](http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rickmenefee/bosedropstag001-1.jpg) [img][IMG] http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rickmenefee/bosedropstag003.jpg[/img] ![[Linked Image]](http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/rr82/rickmenefee/bosedropstag003.jpg)

I'd say those are going to be a hit. More specs please..........
