Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I’ve seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

That is a BEAUTIFUL dog! Im new here, what is the breed?
3, knives ; 1 to break, 1 to loose, the one you need.
I like to put tape loosely around the edges of old disposable blades before tossing them, or collecting them in a disposable container labelled "sharps".
I have carried Russel, Schrade, Buck etc but a few years ago I got a Cold Steel Master Hunter. It is a MUCH better steel than I have ever used. I have dressed out 2 deer with it and it was still sharp. Not so for my other knives. I carry 2 and give the other one to my partner cuz his knife will not cut for very long. Everybody that uses the Cold Steel is enthusiastic about how sharp it is. Much better than ANY of the name brand knives I have used in my 73yrs.

Great video, Ron! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on knives. Love your dog.
For skinning big pigs you really need a knife with a gut hook on the back. I find It really saves a lot of time for un zipping the tough hides of boars
Ron, your dog is so beautiful. I wish I had a friend so good!
Great video Ron 👍
Old Case hunting knives are sweet.
Old Timers too
Lot's of new choices now day's.
I’ve been using the Buck 105 for 30yrs. I process my own but also my hunting buddies game. With a steel I’ll do anywhere from 4-9 animals a year. It still holds its edge. I worked in an animal processing plant in my late teens and early 20’s. Europeans taught me how to sharpen, by hand using a stone. Never lost the skill and my buck knives shave hair all through the season.
Knives are like shoes and guns. It’s all subjective
I clicked on knife shows
Love your dog.
I’m just happy your brother got you that buck knife Ron. That’s how brothers show how much they care. I bet it has much sentimental value to you.
First of all: Beautyful dog, you got there. She really adds up to that video.
About knives: For me hygiene is also an important factor. Thats why I don't like folders that much. They are just so elaborate to clean. But that's just the lazy me.
My main knife is the Mora Kansbol nowadays. It's not a beauty in any sense, but it's functional and unexpensive. Just a solid tool. With a plastic handle and sheet. Easy to clean and razor sharp.
Regards from the Black Forest, Germany.
Have a BUCK 110 and a swiss knife,
I use a cheap Wal-Mart fillet knife for finishing and getting ready for packaging too, cheap and easy to sharpen.
Hey Mr Ron, I love having cubbie in the videos! The addition of that pretty hunting friend is just right! Anyway, love the show and the dog, so keep up the great, entertaining and informative work Mr Ron!
My favorite for almost two decades has been the Grohmann No.1, or Canadan belt knife. That design is perfect IMO, and the steel is good enough to quarter a moose without a touch-up. How much harder does it really need to be? I've got an old Western Cutlery "Black Beauty" that I inherited from my grandfather, like your Buck its a bit long, but I still use it sometimes for nostalgic reasons, and because that carbon steel is excelent.
I normally carry a fixed blade and a folder and a pocket knife, I prefer a 1095 high carbon steel there’s lots of steel out there 1095 is the best for knives.
If you know how to black smith ,you can make knives out of old files, and I mean old files, not newer files,the steel isn’t the best
I want a Ryman Setter so bad, love seeing Covey on your vids. Smart doggo. That old Buck 100-series fixed in the black sheath brings back memories from my youth. It was my first 'real' hunting knife. Actually one of the 'only' real hunting knives back in the late 70s.
The anointing "hunting knife" is subject to much debate. Is it a knife that the hunter carries with him to slice his meat and vegetables, is it a knife for skinning wild boar or deer, or is it a knife that does all of these? Such a knife should have an anatomical, non-slip grip and a 4-5'' edge length and preferably not space steel. For folding knives no talk of a hunting knife they are too small, flimsy and dangerous for heavy use unless one is hunting ants, they are only good for opening cartons. Now for the flex hunting knives?
**WHAT KIND OF DOG IS THAT ???****
Does someone know the knife at 02:32?
Covy is the star of stars
My go to knife is my dad‘s old puma game, warden edition he told me it cost him a couple hundred dollars but he would never tell me that true price.
Yep i have tons of memories of my granpas pocket knives he always cleaned our deer with i carry a couple of them daily
You are boring your dog.
I have a brand new buck pre 64 first knife you pucked up. Brother gift! Not a scratch on it which is wild,im 40 and a father figure/my dads cousin who took me hunting had 3 knives told me to puck one i grabbed that one becuase his brother ( now dead) always carried a buck sane handle bigger blade and he was the father figure/hunting partner i was closest to. Lol mouthful 3 brothers better dads then my own yeah thats fact. Ebay has beat up same knifes for +100
Great program . Thanks .
Been carrying my buck 118 for 35 years, it just feels right I like the curve on the tip for field dressing whitetail. I also have a case twin finn set that's what my dad used when I was a kid , beautiful knives but the tips are less forgiving.
