The one with the end cap. I did pick out some good ones from early on. My grandfather started me off with a old timer 340t. So i had a good starting point.Whew! I was worried about poor little Elijah J.
The barehead, or the one with an end cap?
Choosing a Kabar Jack and a camillus demo knife shows you had good taste in knives from the beginning.
Rob, I hope this post is an April Fool prank too!
We did have a big storm roll through around 4am. It must have been right on top of us, the thunder shook the whole house, rattling pictures on the wall and glass in the cabinets.
Anyway, going with stag today....
My Dutch immigrant Grandpa T. used to always say, with a Dutch accent, "Avoid potential roof injury later. Fix old overhead lumber."Can I buy one of those Kabars ?
Other than my whole roof getting blown off and a tornado crippling poor little Elijah J. last night and sucking all my old knives through the rafters, it's just another fine and windy day in the Bluegrass .................... April 1, 2023.
P.S. - I need knives !
Haha, brilliant! No charge to borrow a shovel, and you get to keep 50% of any knives you find.

! You’re a regular Indiana Jones (or perhaps Charles Dawson). 
Oh, I'm sorry I didn't think of it! I should have tucked a what-a-knife in there, and maybe a packet of ketchup, too.What a find,
I still blame you for my mild obsession with these little folders. You didn’t find any of these in that old tool box, did you?
I was going to comment that I feel like I have been losing may marbles lately, but that I feel better now that I know where they are, but then I saw your commentTo bad about the delrin. Could have been a really nice treasure find. Someone lost their marbles too. I lost mine years ago. Maybe I should dig around in my backyard
I have an umbrella I'm not using!!!Can I buy one of those Kabars ?

Send me your address!! 
It's that time of year again: turning over the soil and planting vegetables. I needed to dig a shallow hole in the back corner of the garden, in order to start a new compost bin.
As I was digging, I felt my shovel hit something hard. Expecting just another rock, I was surprised to uncover an old metal tackle box.
Wow, this is interesting!
I've lived here for almost twenty years and my house was built in the late 1930s, so I assume this was buried some time in between. The box is pretty heavy, and I wondered what could be in there. The loot from a bank robbery, or just a kid's forbidden slingshots or playboys? (when I first started the garden, I did dig up a lot of old empty beer cans, as if someone had been hiding their drinking habit, so maybe this is where they kept the good whiskey!)
I brought it inside and opened it up and what do you know? Along with a few tools and someone's marbles collection, there are some knives in there!
Upon closer inspection, I'm disappointed to say they're almost all just a bunch of Delrin handled folders. Probably from the 1970s or 80s, so no real antique treasures.
Oh well, I suppose it's still a neat find.

. Have a good April Fools Day. 
Is that William Shatner?!?I know these guys, you should be getting a knock on your door soon
Just know the real treasure may be the sweet sweet tv royalties.

Nope, Central Texas.
I don't remember how old the marbles are. Maybe there's a porch equivalent on a marbles forum I could join to ask about them.Some of those marbles are probably just as or more valuable than the knives. This is one of your best Rachel
I have an umbrella I'm not using!!!
Why yes, he is.
I have a sack of old marbles that I know were my father/aunt’s in the 1950’s, later given to me, so are at least that old. Need to get them checked out somehow. Pic from the toys thread…
Wasn't it Mahatma Lincoln (or was it Abe Gandhi?) who said, "April pranks reduce intelligence, like fools or outright liars."
) to pull off my own April Fool prank. If you look carefully, I think you can see some similarities in the alleged quotes I posted.Wow!!
I guess what Sidd Finch said is true: "Agricultural preparation really is literally full of overwhelming luck!!!"
- GT
I'll even use boldface font to highlight the similarities in the 3 preceding quotations.
