After 45 years of boning beef, I prefer a flexible blade. The Buck PakLite Processor Pro is surprisingly stiff—but its clean cuts, light weight, and secure sheath make it a serious backcountry hunting knife.
Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! Here we have a lever gun that beat Winchester to the punch. This is a Marlin Model 1881 in 45-70 Government with a special order 32 inch heavy barrel, finished in 1890. Here is the thing about the 1881. Winchester owned the lever action market, and in 18...
