PawPaw vs. The Bear!

Stephen, Ansley and I were riding to church this evening when Stephen says, "My pawpaw has a real bear cutter."
"A real what???" Ansley and I ask.
"A bear cutter." Stephen says. "To cut bears. I don't know why he has a bear cutter, but he better be careful, because Pawpaw is pretty old, you know."

A bear cutter??? Where does he get this stuff from?

Upon further investigation, Jamey's grandfather (Pawpaw) was showing Stephen some of his things back before Thanksgiving. Among the treasures shown that day several months ago : a batteyr charge checker (I have no idea what those are called) and a very large buck knife (is that what those big knives are called?) And before anyone worries that Stephen was running laps around his great grandparents house with a giant buck knife between his teeth, he did not actually hold the knife and it went promptly back to its out of reach location.
"Could that thing cut anything?" Stephen asked him.
"Well, I don't know about it cutting anything." Pawpaw replied.
"What about a bear?" Stephen suggested.
"Maybe so." said Stephen''s Pawpaw.
End of conversation.

This day in November apparently made quite an impression on one little boy I know. And I am guessing has had, for the past few months,  visions and dreams of his Pawpaw (who he loves very much) bravely hunting giant grizzly bears in the woods with his "bear cutter" and bringing back the giant bear for MawMaw to cook up for all of the family.

"Pawpaw has a giant bear cutter." Stephen told us. "He really does, you know."
