Larry Rosi B&T and whitetail heart

Tell us what we're looking at. Knife and critter (parts).

Thanks, RS

Not this year but....

Buck 102 Coyote.


Mike Miller B&T Turkey.


Havalon Coon.

You are gonna eat that heart?

Ate it already

Already posted an image of my Wyoming deer. Here's yesterday's South Dakota goat along with Tim Olt's blade and my 25 WSM. Probably catch hell for the blade not being bloody.

Good man

Charlie, that is a turkey in your Miller B&T pic?

Yea as best as I can remember anyway.....course my memory ain't what it used to be.....might have been a pheasant but I'm pretty sure it was a Turkey...



Ya know what....the more I look at it the more I think it was a Pheasant....LOL.....good catch GC.....

Northwoods B&T and what I think is a Whitetail.

Just fun in' ya Charlie... Nice pictures btw!

Troutfisher, that's a great picture too. I expected to see a broadhead cut through the middle of that heart. Double lunged him?

Yes, I always go for the double lung because I like to eat the heart so much

ya!


GWB

I believe it would be worth a drive to Texas just to see GWB's knife collection...and drink some of his whiskey.

It's all good GC....I'll be the first one to tell ya that I can't remember chit these days.

Not a very good photo but a Gene Ingram Yellow Jacket used on this years antelope.

Troutfisher Now that's what I'm talking about!!!! Nice!!

Here's one of my custom knives at work. CPM154 stainless, exhibition desert ironwood. Gutted and skinned my bull two weeks ago and she still shaves. The mud on the hide will dull one quick gutting and skinning....was proud that the edge held up so well !

Troutfisher I hope you can add to this thread with that Rosi stag you just got. I hope it brings you luck in the deer woods

It ended up bloody...

Nice buck! It's sometimes difficult getting a actual bloody pic due to the condition of your hands during the process

David Winston model 43, whitetail deer

Edit: Struggling to post pics...

Use on a bear.

My favorite Winston pattern.

Tim Olt, Musk Ox scales ,154 CM.

GWB

You never disappoint Gee

my son took a fat 4 point on his property this morning. I went out to process it so he could get to work. I brought a couple of knives from Rick Menefee and two from Tim Olt. They all did a great job, as they always do.

Some knives





get bloodier




than others,





depending on circumstances!


ya!


GWB

NICE!!!...grin...

I love Rick Menefee's boner





These good all the deer duty. Top two are Gene's double whammer, D2 (I've had them since 2006) and Rick Menefee's boner, in A2.

It’s kinda bloody. Grin my Howe mountain light hunter from my combo with the Wyoming skinner, love that combo pac and it makes a hellava steak knife!!

Evidently I can't follow "simple" image posting directions - I give up.

Here ya go

Took a nice fat doe friday eve, a week ago.



Had her in the cooler by 10PM.


Wet aged the backstraps 6 days






Aged the hinds for 8 days



Had 6 pounds of bacstrap from a bison my son shot last year.

About 22 lbs. of meat in all.

Should make about 12 to 14 lbs of jerky


ya!

GWB

What is your process for making jerky?

Let's see.

Most time it is too warm here to let your venison hang. If it is say 45 degress out or below I will let it hang overnight. Otherwise I try to have the skinned and quartered carcass in a cooler on a bed of ice within two hours or so of the time from when the critter was shot. I keep the in the cooler, packed in ice, draining and wet aging for at least 6 days. Most times I will then take the meat out, wrap in paper and freeze for 30 to 60 days, so as to kill off any harmful organisms. We can take 5 deer here per tag, so between my oldest son and I we can kill 10 deer a year. Conseqently I will use both backstraps and hinds for making jerky. I will defrost over a couple days in a cooler, then table trim to get any fat and silver-skin off the meat. I employ a jerkey board that has a 1/4" and a 3/8" lip, depending on how thick I want to slice. I generally slice with the grain of the meat. Sometimes I cut sections about 1.5 " x 6 inches, other times I cut slabs, 4" to 6" wide. I will then take bottle of Stubbs Sweet Heat and HEB Carolina style Bar-b-que sauce and pour into a half gallon pitcher, add a bottle of Negra Modelo, garlic powder, Tony Chacheries or Slap yo' Mamma, black pepper, cayenne pepper and just a skosh of chili powder. I mix this "soak" up good. Then I place about 5 lbs of meat in a 2 gallon zip lock bag and pour in the soak. I will then place this bag in a container and put it outside in a cooler on ice for 12-18 hours. After it has soaked I will use High Mountain Seasonings, either Hunters Blend, Mesquite, Cracked Pepper and Garlic or Hickory, depending on my mood. I mix the seasoning and cure in correct proportions and mix it with the meat. I will then put the meat back in the bag and place it back in the cooler on ice for 48 hours. When it is cured, I will put it in my smoker for an hour or two at 145 degrees. After a couple hours of smoke, I will then put it on racks in the dehydrator for another 4 hours or so until it is dried to my satisfaction. Depending on thickness it may take a bit longer.

ya!


GWB

Gee the days of the RGR in Black wood are over for me. I have a carbon boning & parer combo fitted up and after that I'm done with exoctic woods & micarta's. I have a few odds n ends as far as material I will use,but then,its strictly maple. I am developing a finish light & amber ( darker)

I think the maple goes really good with those old timey carbon blades . I have a source for some killer maple now ,it's all I want to use.

Kauffman #15 and Leatherman Wave...

I hear ya!




a few by the "Knifefather", VinceM, two of which I used this afternoon.


and some maple




a few more with various scale material







yup!



GWB

Howe mountain fillet gettin busy today... bad sumbitch..

Good stuff.

Dale makes some fine blades.

I just got the first two of four batches of jerky on the smoker. Thinking about brining some salmon tomorrow to put on the smoker Wednesday!

ya!

GWB

Yes gee dub, he’s my favorite knife maker for sure. Still can’t get over this fillet, I almost couldn’t bring myself to use it, but it would be wrong!! Haha

Not yet bloody, but about to be. Rick Menefee Little Dumpling is a perfect filet knife, as well as a premier deer and hog blade.

Buck 116 getting it done. My new (old) favorite gutting knife.

2 Deer, 2 bloody knives. Both are from Brad Watkins.

Ingram #7+1/4 with this year's Antelope buck. It worked on a doe the next day. I don't like to get my phone bloody so usually take a 'before' photo. Trust me, it got bloody.

I have a Ingram #7 with a extra 1/4" of blade length coming in the mail from Gene right now

It may be my favorite design so far and I have tried a bunch. Please post photos when you get it.

A Mike Miller Lite Hunter



And a Jason Winston Model 53

Winston #43 from this am

Winston #4 from this morning

Great bucks guys! And good choice of knives. I'd like to see more pics of the #4, I'm not familiar with that model

troutfisher13111

Here is a few more of the Winston #4. The #4 is my favorite Winston




And a #4 & #14

Thanks RNF

Part of yesterdays hunt with the light hunter I made with end grain olivewod laminated to walnut scales and buffalo horn bosters on 15n20 blade.

Charlie May bobwhite in d2

I've got to get a Bobwhite. That pattern looks just right. What steel did you go with?

RS

D2.....ALWAYS

That sir is a beautiful knife.

I like that Winston #4!

Sure is.

VonGruff- did you grind that blade or purchase it? If so, from where?

Ingram #7 drop point with an extra 1/4" added to blade length

Pre blood.

SLM,

Is that a light hunter? thanks

Yes it is.

I wish that I had remembered this thread when my uncle's elk handled Loveless was lying in the snow last week...

Tim Olt knife, whitetail quarter

Humble Buck, but I like it a lot. Kid I bought it for preferred the Mora.

Are those puppies in the bowl??

And just to the left, out of the frame, is a bowl of kittens.

Hahahaha! Really though, what are they? I see what looks to be little hooves? Piglets?

What the hell is that?!?

Appetizers.

Yeah, piglets. Pork in single serving packaging.

They'll get spatchcocked and done up.

been using the green handled Ryan Arrington this fall. It's kinda becoming my favorite....

Winston

I don't know that I've ever seen anything dumber than bloody knife pics. You knife forum guys are some weird MF's.

Everybody's gotta be somewhere!





















ya!

GWB

Well here the pics are cool, the knives kinda sexy and the language usually civil and clean.
I kinda like that.
Sure beats some of the stuff you see on other threads.
Tim

Yup. Seems to be an intelligence and maturity here that doesn't exist elsewhere on this site

"Sexy knives", that's some weird shyt right there. Knives and guns are not "sexy", good looking, well built women are. Some strange people in the world for sure and apparently many of them hang out here. Now I will say most of you here seem like nice folks, but definitely a little, shall we say, "different" too.

IIRC, I've been posting in the "knives" forum for about three years. Don't post every day in every thread. However I do follow this forum closely. If memory serves, during that time, I can only recall two or three threads where there was any contention. Name calling and foul language are almost non existent in this forum.

Here is wishing all you guys that frequent this forum all the happiness and joy that the holiday season represents, plus good health, prosperity and blessings in the coming new year.

Best,


GWB

[quote=Blackheart]I don't know that I've ever seen anything dumber than bloody knife pics. You knife forum guys are some weird MF's. [/quote[

You must be one of those guys who buys his meat from the store where no animals are hurt!

Gee Dub....in your photo w the Clock and leatherwork....what knife is all the way to the right of the photo? Winston #69 in white scales?

If I understand your question correctly, that is a Dozier I bought here in the Classifieds. Can't remember whether its a professional skinner/hunter etc.



I've been taking it with me lately.

Skinned a doe with it three weeks ago, and my buddy Jason (Sakohunter264) put it to good use on the "big six" I took last weekend......



ya!


GWB

Has anybody, anywhere, ever seen a knife collection bigger or finer than GW's ??? It is something to behold.

RS

No sir.

G Dub is obviously living right!

My freezer is full to the brim with venison, Canada geese, cottontail rabbits, grey squirrels, ruffed grouse, and Bass, crappie and walleye fillets. Been hunting and fishing very successfully for 42 years. Still think bloody knife pics and "sexy" knives are just plain weird.

I'm sure there are a ton of guys that have many more and much finer knives.

I just happen to take quite a few pix, and make the time to post.

But thanks for the kind words and encouragement!

Of course I never get tired of taking pix and posting, but If you guys get tired of it, drop me a PM!

Best,


GWB

Duly noted.

BTW,

welcome to our little niche.

IMHO, knife pix, and stories are always welcome, even if no animals were harmed, nor the blades be bloody.
















ya!


GWB

Gee, some really great stuff there... knives are almost as much fun as firearms.. Love the photos...

GDub,
That Dozier looks like a K2 General Purpose Hunter. I had one years back, good skinner.

G Dub I enjoy your pics! I dont take many bloody knife pics cuz if my knifes bloody so are my Hands!

Yup

rifles






and knives



work well in combo.


And should one find himself "financially embarrassed, can be quickly turned into cash!


ya!

GWB

Even though I hunt out of a camp, I've gotten into the habit of keeping a couple pair of thin disposable vinyl gloves in my pack.

When skinning in camp or even in food preparation there or at home, it is a simple matter to discard the disposable gloves and then shoot your pix, then put on another pair.






I buy the general purpose "vinyl" gloves at Harbor Freight,

I also really like the "Dura-Flock" gloves which I get off Amazon. They have a "flocking on the inside, which, should your hands be moist, make it a ton easier to put on......

ya!

GWB

Gee, I'm not Ashamed to say you're my hero

Thank you sir!

And as a coda before I have to run out for a bit.

I also listen to music other than smooth jazz when I "skin"




Guitar Shorty, "Right Tool for the Job!






ya!

GWB

His rifle collection ain’t too bad either....

It was bloody shortly after

My new Brett Dowell saw some use this afternoon on the last deer of the season

Nice bet your glad you kept it!

Gee, nice video.. You also have on some interesting gear...

Taking this post into 2018, let's keep it lively.

Buck woodsman 102 with two Canada Geese that are tonight's dinner. My twins, who are five, got a lesson in game cleaning and they loved it. Now they want a knife for their hunting expeditions.

Awesome pics gentlemen. I love the Buck 102's, great blades

no blood, but what the hey!




ya!


GWB

Gee,
Tell me about that Menefee in the third pic down...

tag

Quien Sabe,




I am not much on names or model numbers. If a knife appeals to me and I can figure out a way to afford it I grab it. The knife with the shield is my "BVWD boner". Rick calls that pattern a "lil dumplin". As you can see the other knife has a different blade profile and handle shape. I would imagine the steel is 154CM. The scales would be brown canvas micarta.

The lanyard is courtesy of Gies340

and as one can see, neither are virgins!

ya!

GWB

Nice picture! I have a Lil' Dumpling with green canvas/red liners. Love it, it processes game/fish and does a lot of kitchen duty for me. I once had a knife from Rocky like that little butcher knife pattern. Like a dummy I sold it. I'd like to get another like yours to replace it.

a quick I-phone pick of 3 of Rocky's knives with jigged G10.



I have a number of his knives that he made before he took some time off.

Supposed to have two new ones coming soon.

will post em' up soon after they arrive.

Rocky can build a damned fine knife. Really like that far right knife...

from the "groove yard of forgotten fav's"

ya!


GWB

Turkey hunting gear. Randall model 8.



Mora with dusky grouse.

Really like the knife on the left.

Ducks with a Buck 102, deer with a Western 66, and flounder with a Buck 121.

Lest have a better look at that sweet 16

Rocky Menefee's interpretation of his brother Rick's "16 Bore"














Ebony scales, red liners and ATS-34 steel!


I call it "my sweet sixteen"




ya!


GWB

Gwb,

I truly do love to look at pictures of your knife collection. Beautiful stuff.

Frank

Just found this thread, some pretty neat pics here! Here is a Hendrix skinner I used on this year's elk.

Elkchsr,

That Model 25 is my favorite from Hendrix.

How did the edge hold up doing the elk?

Thanks.

It held up great. I was able to get a game cart to the elk so I only had to cut it in half. I bet I could’ve easily done another elk the same way without a problem.
