Review: Pelican 1750 Double Rifle Hard Gun Case

If you're anything like me, you hate to pay a high price for something when you can get something about as good for less. Well, in the case of the Pelican 1750, that didn't happen. I did a good bit of comparison and arrived at the conclusion that it was about the best value I could find... but it isn't perfect.

Sheffield Lock-Back Pocket Knife Review

Sheffield Lock-Back Pocket Knife I was sent a Sheffield Lock-Back Pocket Knife to test and review. This knife has several features that make it a good fishing knife. It is aluminum and stainless steel which keeps it light and slows corrosion. The clip on lanyard is a nice feature no matter what kind of fishing you do but would really help when wading. And the price is very reasonable. picture (c) Ronnie Garrison
