That's a SWEET looking Becker with the modded grips.

I like to see factory knives that owners have modded out to make them work better for them.

Any others out there?

My go to big knife is a USMC Kabar. Tuff and sharp and
does anything I need it to.

dan-  that 696 smith is a very cool concept.

i haven't seen 1, but i love the idea of a medium-frame 5-shot big bore revolver.

super-snub!

I'd LOVE to have a S&W 696.  One of my all time favorite revolvers.

Hey, big bore revolvers in L frames are almost as cool as bows  :D

Especially when they launch a gas checked 250 Keith at 1000 FPS.


Don't tell me I'm the only guy on here with a S&W Revolver hobby  ;)

I won't tell the group about my Nose Hammer 4" barreled 625 Mountain Gun in 45 ACP then.

Ya, if ya gotta have a gun, 45.acp, because they don't make a .46...

Besides, "never bring a gun to a knife fight"...or was it the other way around??   :dunno:

I like that "B'ar" knife Ron posted---that looks exactly like what I would consider an ideal knife for me.

As for handguns and grizzlies---be sure you file off the sight etc---keep it well greased---know what I mean?

I know that a 44 special won't kill a Grizzly dead in its tracks, but then many popular centerfire rifles won't either.  But I do know that I will feel better letting a Grizzly eat me that has 1250 grains of lead in it's skull.

I've had more than a couple way too close encounters with Grizzlies over the years.  So yeah, I take my gun to the knife fight  :D

I used to pack an Old Hickory butcher knife in a homemade sheath.Now I favor my Kabar extra large bowie with a 9"  blade, good for just about any camp chore

Chuck, it's a copy of a Scagel who was the man that inspired Bo Randal to make knives.
