I've owned 12 BRK's in a variety of steels and still own 7. All have been excellent knives.

IMHO, they are getting too expensive and I personally cannot justify the cost any more. I would...

Have done lots of beef jerky in the dehydrator. Tried lots of recipes and ultimately ended up going very simple.

Use beef round (low fat).
Slice it cross grain 1/4" thick.

Get something that has a belt pouch. Kids are less likely to loose it if its on their belt rather than in their pocket.

If its a 'pocket knife' than it really needs to be <90mm closed and have...

I think you will find that the line is the transition in the heat treatment (ie a quench line). The eye will be softer than the edge for improved toughness.

I've watched a few people cutting frozen meat with the reciprocating saw on youtube, and I am not convinced that I would want to spend the money on one given the results (I don't own one and have...

Anyone got any recommendation's for a benchtop size meat bandsaw? Needs to be easy clean and capable of cutting frozen deer shanks into 3/4" slices.
My shoulders are not liking my hand saw any more.

I've been running Hankook RT01's and RT02's on my truck for the past 25 years including a modified Range Rover club 4wheeling. IMHO they are the best bang for your buck for offroad, and on road...

Both animals shot at 250m dropped on the spot.

I was meat hunting over the Easter break and managed to shoot three hinds in quick succession, all from the same spot, ranging from 27m to 254m using the 6.5 Creedmoor.
I was using factory ammo,...

.22LR - internal barrel scrub every 10 years. Always put away rubbed down with a rag covered in EEZOX and suppressor removed.

Wouldn't you be better off with a .243? Barrel life difference would result in a lower overall cost per round fired.

Deer on the hoof weight percentage make up (approx):
Blood - 5%
Hide - 9%
Bone - 13%
Organs - 23%
Meat - 50%

I personally don't eat anything from the deer except the meat, so why carry...

I have been gifted a Winchester 1903 .22 Automatic. The action is in very good condition, with most of its bluing still intact. The barrel has had surface rust and someone has been a bit aggressive...

Most stainless grades are poor conductors of heat, which is another downside. Never cook a steak in a stainless frying pan.

Thermal Conductivity:
Copper - 380 W/m K
Aluminum - 150 to 240...
