Kodiak Baptist Mission Knife Shop. The one thing we have in common whether using these old rifles for hunting, target shooting or building is we gotta eat.

Nice. Is it really a patchknife, though, if you are using it to eat, instead of a small utility knife?

What are those weird pink things...?

I've seen those before. Those are deer fingers.

Ritz Cracker and Vienna Sausages. Can't beat that combo. My mom used to sit those out for us when we'd ride our bikes back from the beach.....starving of course. As sandy as we were, I don't blame her for getting something in us before we hit the shower. I am sure they aren't good for me, but that taste takes me back to being a kid again. God Bless, Marc

Just needs a slab of yellow onion and you have a meal fit for a King. I like Horse Radish with mine to.

Still one of my favorite snacks! I prefer a touch of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce with mine

We called them Viney sausages growing up in south central Kentucky.

Arn't they just potted meat fancied up, which by the way stays on a cracker better and shaped so it will stay on a stick if you want to roast one?

PS: Neat little knife. TC

I've never seen meat look like that...
Maybe its the same stuff they use to make "chicken" nuggets.

Vienna Sauage the lunch of champions... thanks for the compliments on the little knife. This particular one was made for the gun writer Sheriff Jim Wilson and the washer on the butt crown is coin silver in the shape of a star for Texas, his home.

Greg Pennell · « **Reply #15 on:** March 24, 2018, 06:51:33 PM »

That sure is a purty little knife! How many knife makin’ apprentices ya got up there?

Greg

Carper · « **Reply #16 on:** March 24, 2018, 08:49:45 PM »

Thanks for the compliments. We have a few boys and myself and another adult . We work the shop during the long darkness of winter but only a few evenings a week as well as Sat. So we don’t have a large production. These knives have been very good to the Baptist Mission. I would say they paid to feed two horses for kids camp. Demand exceeds production. We grind the bevels so really the only forged part is the tang extension. We do two styles on with the blade cut from a sheet of 1080 the other the blade fashioned from used blades off our band sawmill. Those remind me of the Geeen River type blades you used to see so often at matches. When we started to make knives here I wondered what design would be the best to sell. I shamelessly copied the Woodbury style knife made famous by Hersel House. Using a sheet of steel let’s me keep the cost down. Not nearly as cool or as well made as the HH knife but they serve our purpose and poor folks can afford them. A special thanks to a man I never met. Hersel House. You are helping kids up here in AK find Jesus and didn’t even know it.

Neat knife for a great cause.

Thank You for what you do.

Well done sir! Many thanks.

I am glad Jim Wilson is getting a nice knife. I have always enjoyed his writing.

God Bless, Marc

Carper · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2018, 07:42:38 PM »

I like him too. Just because a fellow writes about guns does not mean he really knows guns. Sheriff Wilson knows guns and their application. Besides all that he is a gentleman which is solely lacking in our modern world. Here is a picture of Sheriff Jim Wilson at the SHOT show with the little patch knife and Mexican style sheath I made for him.

Hey John that is some fine looking work! Miss you here in WV but know you are following your heart. Keep up the good work, Dan.

BOB HILL · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2018, 04:37:42 AM »

Thanks for the great work you are doing here, Carper. I’m sure these kids are gaining a large amount from this experience. I’m also sure that you are.
