Do you use our have you used a Shemagh?
The TOPS #3 is the same size as the #2. The #2 is carbon steel (1095, I think), while the #3 is stainless. #1 is a rather massive hunk of 1/4" steel, about a foot overall, weighing in at 16 or so ounces. My favorite! #2 & 3 are somewhat smaller, but still a large knife. #4 is the smallest with... -

TOPS Knives is the only company that makes THE Tom Brown Tracker. They retail around $250, or so. There are many other makers of varying quality and price. David Beck is the original maker and is STILL the epitome of the design! However, his start around $1k, with a multi-year wait list! I'll... -

Do you use our have you used a Shemagh?
I forgot, backdrop for photos! Predominantly, I have earthy colors, OD greens, tans, and browns. The one solid black one I had is the one that died in the fire! LOL I don't worry about any stigmas. A shemagh is a tool, like a knife or axe. As such, it can have no intent of its own. The user... -
Do you use our have you used a Shemagh?
The short answer is, YES! I generally have two in each bag and pack I own. I've used mine for all of the above, and as a hot pad, pot grabber, hand towel, mini shade tarp, and winter neck wrap. Treated with Permethrin they offer great protection from crawly/flying bitey thingies! Even, once... -
