Well I sent that last knife to my kid in Wisconsin. It turned out to be a Grand Way knife.

But today I was rooting around in my dads stuff mom kept around and found this beauty. It's a Edge Mark #461 made in Solingen Germany prolly in the 60's? It's a nice mid sized fixed blade. I will cherish and wear this all the time. Dad never even showed this to me. He's got stuff stashed all over the house.


Researching online I found this composition from a guy in Austin who was selling one on Craigslist:
The Edge Mark 461 was made in Solingen Germany, dubbed "The City of Knives" for the city's long standing reputation for excellence in cutlery. The blade is made of high carbon steel that is known for ease in sharpening and yet holds its edge longer than other blades. The over all length of this knife is 9" with the blade measuring just under 4 7/8".

The Sambar deer (see last photo) is a much bigger deer than the North American deer. Their antlers are tougher, stronger, harder than U.S. deer antlers. The color -vs- U.S. deer is more amber and yellowish in color and forms a more beautiful patina with use. The custom made stag handle, brass guard and pommel are held together by a spanner nut at base of pommel for easy adjustments, and if ever needed, for repairs and easy replacement of parts.

Yeah, I don't hunt big game anymore. But bird hunting I'm all in for. As long as they taste like chicken. Not a huge fan of Duck.

I love duck - but it has to be prepared right - cassoulet is my favorite duck dish
