    My guide review (Ross Hammock Ranch)

    Now that I have returned from my Florida Gator and hog Bow hunt, I thought I would provide a review of the guide/outfitter I used since I find value in hearing of the experiences of others that deal with outfitters for out-of-state hunts.

    L39 the Traveling knife story

    Back in 2013 I took an old knife that had been laying around in my shop in Wisconsin and I had an idea for what to do with it. I knew this deserved better than its dusty life in the corner of my shop where it laid, rusty and without a sheath. I knew this knife was destined for greater things...
