Hope it shows up, Jer. Kind of like Groundhog day with that delivery.

Thank you.
Though this one I found in the basement is nice and thin:

Maybe not the ergonomickest handle this side of the Pecos, but sometimes I think simple is ergo.

Looks like a decent knife, Jer.
I had a similar find not too long ago. I purchased a Ken Onion worksharp, with the blade grinding attachment, and was looking around my basement workroom for some old knife to sharpen.
I found an old Utica 8" kitchen knife, Japan made. I sharpened it up and it's now in the kitchen knife block, and used regularly.

Thanks, Todd.
I think I just got lucky. Usually I ain't no fortunate one.

I’m not really sure when the super moon is, but I’ll be lookin’ out my back door for it tonight!

Nice. Good old Utica.
According to @KenHash, my copco goes back to the 50s or 60s. If it's been used at all, it must be a very decent knife.

I sure miss the Utica factory store.
Maybe we'll get back there this year. We've been vaccinated and Oneida County is a lot cleaner than ours, last I looked.

According to NASA, the “pink super moon” will be at its biggest and brightest at 11:32 p.m. ET on Monday, April 26, 2021.

I wonder if we'll get it in Yorkshire

I did, and I locked the front door, oh boy!

I don’t know Jack, but if it’s bright enough you’ll see all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn!

It got here at 2:00. So far so good. It hasn't blown up in my face from cutting onion, eggplant, and cabbage.

The tapered bolster supports a modified pinch grip.

If it gets much crazier, I think I'd better run through the jungle!

Sure is a good lookin' kitchen knife Jer!
If the onion and eggplant didn't get it my guess is ya got yourself a winner.

Speaking of seeing the light, have you ever seen the rain, Todd?

Yes... yes Gary I have. In fact, it was comin’ down on a sunny day!

Isn’t anyone else going to jump in? There has to be more CCR fans out there!

Good Golly Miss Molly, you guys are having way too much fun!

Nice Glenn!

Good Golly Miss Molly, you guys are having way too much fun!

Is that her name? I thought it was Proud Mary!

Tonight's Super Moon rising

That's really a nice shot Gary. Upstate NY is a beautiful place. My fave of yours will always be the battling pileated woodpeckers.

I wonder if we'll get it in Yorkshire

What you'll get in Yorkshire (and Leeds) is the wet stuff Jack. So tell me, have you ever seen the rain?
