I picked this up in a pawn shop in North Carolina about 10 years ago for $5. It is un marked. When I got it I could see official knife etched in the blade but it’s gone now. Other members here said it’s possibly a Cardinal Cutlery Boy Scout knife.

Here’s my favorite fixed blade. A 171UH Pro Hunter my dad gave me years ago. The stock on my rifle is beat to death from the handle of this knife wearing it on my side and carrying my rifle on a sling. I’ve carried both since 1995.

Wobblehead, That Pro Hunter must provide you with countless memories of hunts gone by or possibly campfire stories. Excellent that you have kept and maintained this artifact of your personal history.

Lots of deer have been cleaned with it. I always liked it because I could break the pelvis with a couple hard hits.

Here’s my model 700 mountain rifle and my pro hunter. I got the rifle for Christmas in 1994 when I was 12.

Mine is 7mm-08. My dad has one in 260 and a friend has the 25-06. I’m going to eventually get a 270,30-06 and 280. A few were also made in 243.

That 7mm-08 is a fine caliber from all I've read about it. Every caliber has its advocates. My favorite is .270.

They all have their place for sure. I used a Ruger 77 in .270 for forty years and still shoot it occasionally, but other favorites are my .243 Winchester in a first-gen Ruger 77, and my pronghorn gun, a .300 Winchester Short Mag in a Weatherby. It would be a fine elk gun but I am too pathetic physically to clamber all over the mountain. I love to shoot the .243 as there is negligible recoil and it is perfect for whitetail. Lots of the newer calibers are great, but if one only could go all the way back and just have the 30-.06 as far as rifles go, it would be quite adequate for every kind of game in the Americas.

I’ve always said if I could only have one rifle it would be a model 700 30-06. I normally carry my 7-08 mountain rifle but occasionally I carry my 7600 carbine pump 30-06. I sold my savage 110 270 because the barrel was 6 feet long and it was a chore to hunt with.

Thank you, gentlemen. I appreciate your appreciation. :) This 7" dagger (dbl edge) was made by Adam Smith. The scrimshaw is what caught my eye. It was executed by C. Hargrave and is probably the best scrim work I possess. I believe this knife was the first fixed blade I purchased. Got through the AGRussell's Cutting Edge catalog.
