    Interesting long knife at auction. Relic or recreation?

    That's the sheath. Its a center seam with a flap and a hole for a thong. I took a bunch of pictures and posted a link to them. Is it working?

    Interesting long knife at auction. Relic or recreation?

    Just bought 40 pounds of shot that got left out in the rain. How do I dry it out?

    I went back this morning and the full bag a 7 1/2 was still there. I hemmed and hawed and its going to to get rained on again before I get back. Some one else got a huge sheet of 1/4 inch soft lead, and then someone told me that was the stuff to grab. But I'll keep checking back.

    Thanks. There's still full bags of #2 and 7 1/2. It 60 cents a pound, and I'd be stocking up for a 20 gauge Fowler with the money to buy the Fowler....

    Just bought 40 pounds of shot that got left out in the rain. How do I dry it out?

    I just picked up 3 partial bags of shot that had been in a bucket for a couple days with 2 inches of water in the bottom. Is there anything in particular I can do to prevent it all from oxidizing?

    Hello from the Eastern Shore of MD

    Hi all, I'm circling back on an old interest. I was an arm chair fan of all things historical trekking 20 years ago and for some reason, recently got the bug to pick up a Jeff White French trade knife and discovered that Mr. White has retired. Pity. But was already down the the rabbit hole...
