| Crowell/Barker Browning knife: Collectible Chopper |
 |
Some knife users want something different. Yeah
the Marine Raider, Heavy Bowies, Trailmasters, and
other large knives are functional and proven but
maybe you want your large knife choice to be a bit
more special. Then consider the Crowell/Barker
Competition Knife by Browning. Its a
collaboration between James Crowell and Reggie
Barker, winners of the American Bladesmith Society
(ABS) World Cutting Championship. It is currently
being produced under the Browning name.
Nutnfancy is not the expert on purpose-built rope
cutting knives but he knows a thing or two about
woods knives. And the CBCK has a heft, balance,
blade length (10), and thickness (double tapered
¼) that should make it a formidable chopper and
wood splitter in the wilderness. This is again a
knife that could do everything and more a small
camp axe could do. It compares favorably in size
to the aforementioned blades as well. The black
micarta handle is handsome and contrasts nicely
with the satin finished 1085C blade. The makers
also mention camp use with this large blade and it
could indeed tackle those tasks with ease.
However there are a few downsides as well: the
carbon steel blade is uncoated and will tend to
rust easily in humid environments (keep it wiped
down!), the micarta handles are not removable for
maintenance purposes, the handle tends to the
short side if you have large hands, and the
squared corners of the grip could be radiused
more. But overall its a slick and impressive
package, especially with the included and
personally signed product card. The
Crowell/Barker design therefore results in an
affordable, cool, and very functional collectible
large knife.

| Emmylou Harris Rodney Crowell "Till I Gain " live 1975 |
 |
Emmylou Harris and the Hot Band perform the Rodney
Crowell song "Till I Gain Control Again" live from
a 1975 show. This features the original Hot Band
with James Burton on guitar, not shown, John Ware
on drums, Rodney Crowell guitar, Emory Gordy Bass,
Hank DeVito Pedal Steel and Glen D Hardin on
piano. The video is faux and out of sync. Of all
Emmlyou's songs this one is my favorite and I
believe a favorite of others, you cannot have
watched Emmylou do this one live and not be
captivated by the magic of her performance. So
this is one for headphones on and volume up to 11
as Emmylou is singing this just for you. Please
vote and comment and a Happy New Year to you
all,thanks Ally.
