Got to use my Wegner combo edge afield
Got to use my Wegner combo edge afield
Folks,
On friday I started this years whitetail deer season, and ended it just as the light was fading that day. I met up with and killed the biggest buck I've ever seen (in real life)... I've been hunting for one like this for twelve years now.
I used my new combo edge Wegner to field dress this deer, which it did effortlessly and it's still shaving sharp. Isn't that something? The Wegner design is incredible, and I really like the combo edge for this task.
My last years deer was field dressed with my plain edged large Wegner, which is truly great...but I think the combo edge has "the edge" for all around game processing purposes. I intended to use them both this year to compare, as the plain edge was in my truck but I was done so quickly I didn't even think of fetching the other knife, and I sure didn't need to get a freshly sharp knife part way through the job.
Jeff.

Boys,
There was a fire and a fair bit of sippin' done that evening; last Friday. Celebrate I did...and shall.
I'm just looking around for the best place to take the head for mounting, as this deer will be skinned out tonight. At first I wasn't going to have it mounted, but now I figured if I don't I may always regret it. It is after all, my first "real" buck.

Jeff, If you deside to not have it mounted, you could send me a piece of the stag. Then I could make you a hunter for the next season.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

If you deside then drop me a line...But just so you know, the antler have to dry out for a least a year...So it won´t be a x-mas gift this year!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Chuck,
But you live in the US, you must have some cola in the fridge, splash some of that in there, it´ll take the edge of almost like sprite does!<img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Years ago in High School history class, (before I got turned onto knives) one project we were assigned was to write a report on _any_ topic concerning Native Americans. To set it apart, we also had to make something that our report concerned.
Of course I was the only one that picked Native American weaponry as a topic. One of the weapons I came across and decided to make was a flail made from a small deer antler.
I simply Sharpened the tips.
I will have to dig it out and hang it on my wall.
Knife Knut on a shoestring budget.
