1962 Browning Belgium Superposed.

Time is running out, so I've been getting out there when I can. Last week was a bust. First time in well over a year. Today was great though. A pair of quail and a decent sized rooster. It only took 12.5 miles under foot to get them. Still, grateful to find birds this time of year.

We still have our full set of Henckel's Professional knives from thirty years ago. They'r all a bit beat up, but since we both like to cook, they've gotten a lot of use. I was given a Shun Santoku a while back and have a paring knife to go with it. Made by the KAI group that owns Kershaw, if...

You edited the knives too? :cry: Repost please.

Now that the music is gone (that I always appreciate), I just need to clarify for anyone late to the thread, that it was just the music. May you be healthy, happy and content. E

Who’s going to tell him?

Sort of a second generation of Gerber Bolt Action's. The two knives on the right are identical and have the standard 'utility' blade. These were introduced in 1983/84 and because they have the polished blade, the medallion and the stainless lanyard hole, they were produced in this style for...

Oh, I need a clarification. Did you mean Benchmark or Benchmade? I assumed Benchmade, and my comments still stand. Benchmark was once an excellent company, but it has gone overseas and they are generally regarded as garbage.

Benchmade knives are generally excellent. I've had several and I may still have one. I'm a big fan of the axis lock as I'm left handed and I like the ambidextrous controls. I used to have an Osborne model, McHenry Williams and something else. I will post the pictures when I find them. I...

These are the very first generation Gerber "Bolt Action's", introduced along side the first LST models in 1981. This was a big departure from the brass body lockback folders that were popular at the time. Designed by Blackie Collins, these first generation knives were made of Dupont Rynite...

I've always kept a lookout for green Kona beans. When they show up, the cost is just ridiculous, so I've never taken the bite. I just can't imagine that they're worth it.

The largest of the LST's - Gerber Magnum 600 LST's in black (heavily used), Realtree camo with black blade and a comparison to the namesake Magnum Folding Hunter from the 70s. Second picture is of the last of the LST's produced in now desirable Mossy Oak camo. Say what you want. They ain't...

The 500 size Gerber LST's. Or technically, Gerber LST Magnum Jr. These came into the catalogs in 1989 and made a pretty good run (at least 25 years, maybe more). The standard black (in the middle) is of course the most common. Color was not a strong promotion on these beefier LST models. I...

Your main picture didn't load for me when I opened it last night. Upon closer inspection, I might suggest one of these. That is, if you don't have one already. I keep one in my vest. Lifesaver in the field. Congratulations and beautiful Griff!

That's beautiful.

Technically, not in the LST family, but a good place for me to mention these as we make our way into the larger knives. This is the short lived FieldLight model. I think it was an attempt to make a hunting knife in the injection molded zytel form. These were only made from 86 through 89...

Weighing in at 0.4 ounces, the Microlight was the smallest LST to be produced. As usual, black is the most common to find and correlates to their longer production (1989 - 2006). Yes, i'm missing one. I still need a yellow. The red and blue were made from 89 to 93, while the toxic green and...

My girl (Pudelpointer), gets a lotta love in the hunting section. So, I thought I would share this nut bar (labrador), who happens to be ten years old, but still acts like a puppy. Legend has it that he arrived on a cold Christmas Eve, direct from the north pole, just a decade ago.

You can buy black 300s for around $10 bucks every day, all day. Even when they have been out of production for over a decade. Millions were made. So, color is where it's at. The top two knives, blue and red are early 86/87 ish as notable by their polished blades, nail nick and orange box...

Going down in size is the near equal in popularity, 300 series Gerber Ultralight LST. Weighing just a hair over a half an ounce, this is a surprisingly useful blade for what it is. According to documentation, the 300 Ultralight was released in 1986. Like the 400s, the color models are always...
