Looks like your prepared! Got good taste in that Cold Steel. Owning a couple real quality blades beats a draw full of cheapos. These blades today sure look quality over the offerings I had back in the early 60s. Seems either a fixed blade hunter of those polished blade folders sold at the corner store for a buck. Then again we are talkin Stone Age when I was a youth. Enjoying the hobby though today with all the offerings. Sure am glad I held onto the Puma. Made in 66 according to the stamping. Whopping $26 or $27 back then. Funny thing took half my paycheck back in 67.

I gave my son a while back my Puma Gamemaster from the late 60's
Mail order at about the 26.00 range. Had to save mowing money to get it.
I like the Cold Steel brand The Air Lite works for me. Tough little knife. Not worried about losing it because it is not too costly.
The SAP was a special order from Scott Foster of Foster Impact Devices. Not sure if he is still in business. I did not/do not need one, but I like having it around

Growing up in Ephraim, Utah, Harvey Draper was neighbor and made some GREAT knives, The folder was built for my dad, (left to me) and when I came into the "Paragon" had to pair em up.

Not mine of course. It looks like it may have seen a bit of use. At the Cheanault military museum in Monroe, LA.

Good lookin rig. Hatchets seem pretty popular lately. Should be able to handle tasks for sure.

I've always carried a hatched or small axe in my vehicles. I needed a new one when I bought my last pickup. I found this Eastwing double bit hatchet at the local hardware store. I have to admit, being able to swap ends and keep chopping (saving sharpening for later) works out pretty well.

Years ago I gave one of the tomahawk style hatchets a try. Why they might make a good weapon, they are too light and the head too small to be much good as a chopper for extended use. It now hangs in the garage collecting dust. I suppose one of my kids will grab it next time they are down.

Using the clip for scale, this is my preferred blade length for EDC. Really handy knife you have there.
I got this one off THR some years back. I carry it quite frequently.

By the way, anyone know of a good sheath maker. I'm looking for someone one to make one for Randall Mini Copper.
