And then just like that, the Postman drops a SlingMail on my porch all the way from Alaska, USA.
A few weeks ago Msturm posted a 'Guess the Wood' contest. I also guessed Hemlock like DSIL but I used the Tip provided and googled the answer, maybe even asked Alexa.
Michael awarded my efforts anyway for using my resources to achieve the knowledge I needed to survive. I am actually blown away with some CSFS! (cool schwag for sure!).
An authentic Msturm Natty. Look close to the grip areas on the fork. Pretty sure that is table salt, or very fine sand sprinkled into the finish. It's grippy and subtle. An HDPE frame to be given a workout, and an authentic fishknife with Alaskan fishguts too! In the 70's this fishknife was a must have for every kid who liked to fish. Thanks for sharing your stuff Michael! The Forum Is.

Oh ya! That’s some nice stuff!

Hey, had a knife just like that one only mine was green. Don't know if it was the same brand or not. Of course, I lost it. Somewhere in this world, there is a creek bank shaped just right for cleaning fish! You can tell by the 26 thousand knives left there.

I played mumbbly peg with a knife just like that when the fish weren't biting . It stayed in our tackle box. Good stuff there.

Great slingshot from a master hunter!

Yeah that is salt. The finish is superglue, and the last coating I sprinkle with salt in the areas I need more traction. The salt sucks the superglue up the sides fo the little cubic crystals and it dries that way leaving a nice texture long after the salt is gone. (picked that little trick up building spearguns, though it works far better with marine epoxy).

side note. I am quite sure it is not fishguts on there. I mean it might be, but I also use Remington oil on my old knives and that turnes a bit brown after a few months without use. It is more likely Remington oil than fishguts.

Yea. That FishKnife tasted more like Remington Oil than Fishguts!

From Alaska with love! So he gave you some salt for your fish. Good thing he didnt send a fresh caught Alaskan salmon. it might not have survived the trip with the freshness in tact. No amount of salt could fix that smell.
