GWB,

What's the bottom knife in the brisket of the set showing your "Clark Kent EDC?"

Thanks.

That is my "two handed Brisket-Breaker". Dale Howe who posts here as Mtnman1 fashioned that for me.

Here is his website should you want to contact him outside 24hourcampfire........

Local custom here is not to field dress, but to bring the carcass back whole to camp where we have a lighted skinning rack. We hang our critters from the hind legs using a gambrell. For years I used a Cold Steel "Outdoorsman" for the task of splitting the brisket in order to facilitate removal of the "innards", but Dale was kind enough to accomodate my request for a knife that I could grasp with two-hands for the downstroke. Yes I could use a hatchet, or camp axe or saw, but I like using a knife.

















JAPPF,

My knives are nothing special. But as long as they are sharp they work as well as any others.

I really like the looks of this one. I need to find one locally to handle. I have big hands, I'm 6'5" and it is hard to find a knife that is comfortable in my hands to work with.

That's a nice sturdy knife with a pleasant ergos good heft and girth for XL/XXL hands IMO.

The Buck Vanguard is a great pattern. Like I said before, I especially like the Cabela's version with s30v.

My hands are anything but big, but it just fits me well. I believe Bud's Gun Shop has the Vanguards < $50.

I got mine from an online shop in Louisiana. They were a tad more expensive, but service was fine.
