Its beena busy year here at Flatwoods forge, and these are some of the first blades cranked out this year. Both are made from 3/8th" thick 5160 leaf springs with oak handles. I still have finish work to do, including oiling the handles, cleanin up the flats and bevels and sharpening both to shav3 sharpness. First is a Kukri for a customer here. Overall length is 16", 10.75" blade. Convex grind. Second is a big camp knife based on the WSK tracker from the movie the hunted. 9.5" blade, 14.5" overall. 2.75" wide at the widest point. Let me know what you guys think Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

No suprise to me. Can't keep a loaded long gun in the car without a hcp, and the HCP is jst a defense to the illegal act of carrying a firearm. The only states I see as firearms friendly are constiunal carry states. Anything else is that whole infringment thing they talk about in the 2nd amendment. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Welcome to TGO. Is that beechgrove down next to Lake City? Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

This is my thoughts. If it goes off by any method other than the trigger being depressed then it would have went off trigger covered or not. For the trigger to be depressed by a branch it would also have to depress the grip safety some how, and the manual safety would have to get knocked off. An exposed trigger, especially one thats backed up against the leather of the holster tightly. Its just honestly not a concern for me at all, I know it worries some of you guys, but I made this thread to show off a new piece of leather made very well by a friend, not discuss the merits of open vs closed trigger holsters.

Decided to get away from it all with some friends today. Took a nice lil stroll up the holler and across the ridges. Found a nice lil clearing on an old logging road, after fighting through 3 year old new growth under brusb and briars. Built a lil fire, did some carving, cooked some bacon and and coffe and just had a good old time. Its been a truly good day. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I carried it today for a 5 mileer through the roughest nasty logged over country Ive hiked through in awhile. Safety is covered by the holster and never got turned off. I know some of you guys don't like, but I'm gonna rock it for now. I'm comfortable with an uncovered trigger, but I do realize its not for everybody. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Its not something I'm intrested in purchasing, he only wanted to know an appx value for insurance reasons and nostalgia. It hasn't been converted, he plans to put it back and pass it on as a family heirloom. Ill try to get pictures. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

I have no problems heading this up. Two members have already contacted me about donating via paypal. I have a paypal buisness account along with a card hooked directly to it so I can withdraw the funds and get them to Don immediatley upon reciept instead of the wait. If you would like to donate via paypal or money order or any other means you can pm me for my paypal address and my street address. Money orders should be made out to Don unless you want me to cash them and take it to him in cash for some reason. Thanks guys Ill try to update as he updates me Jordan Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Ive been talking to Don several times a day since the accident. They probably won't ask for help, but I know money is tight right now and those medical bills are gonna make life hard. If you guys decide to do a donation I can deliver the funds. The best way to do it would be money orders written out to him I woukd think. I have plans to go see him soon and will be helping out around his place as much as he will let me Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Ive been drooling over them since the prototypes were announced. I plan to build a mosin with one of those stocks and a scope. My archangel on my Ruger Mini 30 was an excellent stock, tight and well fitted. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

A friend of mine has a Webley Mark 6 revolver passed down from his father. It is in good shape, no rust. Not a show piece, but a good shooter. Does anyone know a ballpark value on the gun? Sorry not a lot of info, but all I have to work with. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere

Yeah but the closest thing to that I can find is the Springfield 1MA which is impossible to find right now. Does anyone have experince with them? And are M14's readily availably und3r normal condotions. Sent from the backwoods of Nowhere
