    Double sided knives

    Same in PA....although it is legal to own, just not carry in public. In other words, you may own the dagger or sword [or broadaxe] but you may not carry them in public. Same goes for swords [specifically mentions 'no' sword canes in the statute]...but there's a section in the State Code with...

    Any Lefties shooting RH flint ?

    I am left-eye dominant and shoot a right handed flint. It's not really a problem, with the exception that all that smoke is in my face for a minute.

    Tell me about powder horns

    Two basic types: 1. Fill through the pour spout. This is probably the most likely HC way of doing it. 2. Removable Finial at the plug end. I do not know the era this became a way to fill powder horns. It is the more easy way [IMO] to fill them especially if you get the larger of the 2 normally...

    Pa Flintlock Season?

    considering that the PAGC is the agency charged with controlling hunting and trapping in Pennsylvania, yeah....I'll do what their "comic book" says. If charged with a "violation of Law" take the comic book to court. Considering PA Game Wardens and Deputies are exempt from the Constitutional...

    Which Hide and Tools for Ball Bags?

    If by "ball bag" you are referring to a small pouch that holds round ball/mini/maxi....then deer hide, goat skin or any leather that's about 2oz thick will do fine. If you mean a larger pouch like a possibles bag or hunter's bag then you should go 5-7 oz leather. For 2oz leather, a glover's...

    Either Neatsfoot oil or Tandy's "Dr. Jackson's hide rejuvenator": http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/product/dr-jacksons-hide-rejuvenator-21978-00.aspx I use the hide rejuvenator on all my leatherwork, including the purses I made for my ladies [4 of them]
