Maintaining Your Hunting Knife

Well-groomed beard and hair, carefully trimmed toes and fingernails, and a mouth full of pearly white teeth do not make for a true-to-life-figure of a mountain man. Through no fault of their own, the true mountain men had shaggy, unkempt, uncombed hair down to their shoulders (sometimes below), and a stringy beard to match. When their hair was cut, it was cut with a pair of dull mule shears or with a sharp skinning knife. In most cases their teeth were yellowed and cracked, often broken from biting and chewing tough dried meat, roots, and other unspecified items beside food.

Clip Point, Drop Point, or Tanto Blade - I personally prefer a clip or drop point blade. I'm partial to Bowie Knives which have the clip point style blade. A drop point blade is great for skinning animals. The Tanto blade is said to be good at puncturing body armor, but I've read mixed results on that front.

As he walked past the food court, he decided to take a break and have a fruit smoothie. He reached in his pack to get his wallet, and noticed that his at this URL was also there. He did not remember putting it in the pack. He clutched the knife, and felt a warm feeling in his chest. Not another heart attack, was his first thought, but this was a different feeling. ".25, please," said the cashier. Jack released the knife and took a bill out of his wallet. He sat at a table and drank the strawberry banana puree. He found himself reaching for the knife again. The feeling in his chest was back.



Most people find that being a great knife sharpener is most often the hardest task of all. They are correct about this, but with a little patience anyone can get good at it. First thing you must get yourself is a high-quality rough stone. The best rough stones are usually the most expensive, such as the diamond-embedded rough stones. These are well worth the money and should be your first priority. Blades made out of stainless steel are usually harder to sharpen since it's such a hard metal but having a diamond stone will make it easier since diamond is a harder compound that stainless steel.

Now look at how much space you've freed up in your flight bag! You could probably fit an extra pair of clothes and stay overnight at a destination instead of carrying separate luggage or flying back the same day!

Look for an extensive selection of tactical knives from name brands like Pathfinder, Bushmaster, and Elite Force. There will be no need to worry about your new tactical knife when you go hunting in the wilderness. Use your new survival knife to clear away brush, cut fire wood, or clean dinner. It will be the one friend you have in the cold, unforgiving wilderness. Draw near to it and it will draw near to you.

Jack threw open the window; the close stench of death-one with which he was far too familiar-was stifling. He leaned out to find a cleansing breath of air and watched as the wind, with its eerie moan, stacked layers of darkening clouds against the moon. He listened to the wolves' howls, so remindful of childhood friends, calling from beneath his window to come on out and play. And he whistled under his breath at the rocky surface below, separated from where he stood by a distance of a thousand feet or more.

He longs for the days when they were first together. He remembers that they had the same interests, hobbies, goals, and desires when they met. That was before she became obsessed with Sylvia Browne, crop circles, and aromatherapy. She also misses the time they were newlyweds, when he didn't spend all his days and nights "at the office," when he still had a sense of humor, before he got a short haircut and wore a tie, before he started voting Republican in every election.

What if you live near the coast or in swamp areas? A knife with a rubber handle is good to have if you live near water because it will keep it from slipping out of your hand if it gets wet.
