Believe half of what you see…

…and none of what you hear. That was attributed to Ben Franklin, but you can’t believe it because of all of the above. It’s also been attributed to Edgar Allan Poe. I still think it’s good advice, considering the quandary we all find ourselves in. The less I see and hear, the smaller the shovel I need to keep handy.

French style round knife from Terry Knipschield in Rochester, Minnesota.

My newest round knife, aka head knife, etc., is the one above from Terry Knipschield up in Minnesota. Terry hasn’t been accepting orders for the last several months (to my knowledge) as he’s been rebuilding his knife shop. When he does get back to building knives again, I highly recommend them. I got this one almost a year ago, and finally decided to show it off.

That’s about all I have for today. It looks like we’ve got about fourteen days left in 2020, and we can kick this pig in the ass and send it on its way.

Just in case I get lazier and don’t do another blog post this month, thank you for reading. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God Bless you and yours.

GIBSON BLACK CHERRY BASKET 1911 RH OWB

1911 Holster Light Brown Alpha.

Gibson leather 1911 holster Light Brown Alpha basket stamped RH OWB belt slide pancake

Merry Christmas! I know I’m about 20-days early, and it’s not politically correct to put it that way these days, but I just got back from the annual Christmas tree pilgrimage to Jackson County, and we found us a good one. It wasn’t nearly the adventure one might envision. After 35-miles or so on the highway, the tree harvesting goal was accomplished in the parking lot of Lowe’s in Marianna, Florida. No crawling around in the dirt/mud/snow. Of course, this is Florida, so we don’t have dirt, mud or snow. Sand …we have sand.

I’ve got an experimental holster in stock. The color is called “Light Brown A.” I know–it looks more brownish-red, with emphasis on the red. Personally, I like it, but it’s a little different. It’s a right-hander, with white stitching, hand stamped with a rope basket stamp and Barry King half-flower border. The back panel is not dyed which eliminates any chance of dye bleed. It has a sealed top coat, hand-beveled, dyed, waxed and burnished edges and belt slots. The belt slots are for a 1.5″ wide, dual-layer (1/4″ thick) gun belt. Rake/cant angle is 15-degrees. Back panel is detail molded for retention.

If you want it, it’s ready to go. You can find it on our other website at this link GIBSON LIGHT BROWN ALPHA $149.00, Regular $169.00. *No Christmas delivery guarantee or promise.*
