Has the troop decided where they are going for summer camp?

I found my dedicated fruit knife missing from my desk drawer at work. Ivy had come and stolen it, and taken it for her own.When I challenged her about it, she said: "What's yours is mine." But she had a guilty look. She gave me SO much guff about being picky with how knives are treated, but now, she has gotten used to working with a sharp knife and is all too anxious to take them.I guess I will just buy a new one, sharpen it up, and replace it.

Why do people think its ok to do stuff like that?
Ooo yummyAlthough if I made squirrel for my wifes birthday, if get a nice on the head, regardless of how good it was!
Nice looking air riffle. I love that you can harvest meat from your property. The squirrel meat looks really nice. I'd imagine the long cooking times would be needed for such muscle the squirrel has. Any comparisons as to the taste of squirrel meat?
That is beautiful rifle indeed. I would love to see pictures of your backyard. Any neighbours close by?
Well, today my wife and son went on vacation without me, to New York City and Boston. My ex-wife has my daughter in Disneyland.Meanwhile, I'm at home alone, getting some much-needed peace and quiet.[graphic warning]Another squirrel decided to try to claim the prime territory that is the mulberry tree in my back yard. Wo unto him, for my Marauder was close at hand. I managed to put a pellet through his head.This time, I decided to skin him with my Explorer+. One squirrel though, is not enough for the Crock Pot, so he's chillin' out in the freezer now.I only made the last cut with this dull carving knife, as my hands were all covered in fur, guts and squirrel testicles.Here's the pellet that did the work; a 10.5 gr. Crosman Premier Heavy. It entered just below his left eye, after which it traversed his head and shoulder, and it came to rest just below the skin on the shoulder.Aloha, yes, that's how I see it. I pay so much for this land, which happens to be a habitat for squirrels. I can pop some of them and eat them up, and also pop all the invasive pest birds. It is paying off now too, because today, I noticed that the mulberry tree is full of native songbirds! Cardinals, woodpeckers, robins, and this one bird I previously thought was a female cardinal, but is actually some kind of nuthatch or something. The fledgling robins are out now; second batch of the summer.I don't think I ever showed you guys a pic of my top airgun, the Benjamin Marauder, in .177 caliber. I have a custom stock on it.

I have a custom stock on it.I have always skinned my squirrels/rabbits/deer/anything else with a fixed blade for fear that I will get gunk all in the moving parts of a folder and never get it to work the same. Since you've obviously used an SAK for skinning what are your thoughts on this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI know it's not as complex as a SAK, (and you didn't ask me ) but my uncle has used a Buck 110 as his hunting knife for decades. It's dressed countless animals, including many deer. I think as long as you take the time to do a bit of cleaning after, and the knife is of any decent quality, you'll have no worries. A SAK sure doesn't break down easily, I'll say that. You should have seen the condition of a few used ones I picked up and restored to practically brand new.
