Something Old, Something New...

First up, an old knife - my first, given as a 10th.?? birthday present - which I put to good use splitting open oysters on the rocks at Mallacoota

Note the pitted end, very useful for rock bashing...

Then, a newie: a little trout knife I bought a year or so back at a knife show. Great for cleaning and filleting small fish; useless for anything else

Really like the way the sheath fits on the belt in a horizontal position, though.

Memo Peter: As you can see, I desperately need a good skinning knife, for all those woolly mammoths I'm about to score in the years ahead

I PROMISE I'll take better care of it than I have, knives in the past. Hey, I'm even learning how to sharpen these things!

Ricko,

amazing, I thought I must have had the only one in existence! Yes, the sheath on mine is getting a bit long in the tooth now, as well. Many good memories with this knife though.

Erron,

Not true, if you ever get to caping an animal for a mount you'll find those little knives invaluable for turning ears and skinning around eyes and other finicky areas.
