Thread: Knife Belt or no knife belt?

Read Lew Sutherlands book about the Xmas end of season sessions at the local pub.Unintentionally that happened to my first walk thru the Ruahines ending up at the Mangaweka pub. The cullers were there. We had black woollen vest, undies, bullers. We put our packs with our rifles in the corner of the pub. Borrowed money off the barman till we got picked upon and repaid our bill. The cullers had their knife belts on not as show but pure working gear.We hitched from Mokai station. Yes carrying rifles and smelling like the proverbial. Dave Ratcliffe has a classic comment in his book about this issue. Old enough to own a rifle but not legal for drinking.
