"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

We watch our grandaughter at home and go to my son's house on Friday afternoons to wait for our 2 grandsons to get off the bus. This happens to coincide with trash day. I've got into the habit of hauling the empty dumpsters up the driveway, just to help out. I took this picture. It's a pretty good hike! I had 3 knives on me, but they were no help at all!

Have KC and Buffalo played any bad games? Pretty evenly matched teams, but KC gets the win

I was hoping for a different outcome, but it was a good game!

Can anyone please remind me the name of a traditional knife that is being remembered here once in a while as one of the few models being continuously produced for a very long time. I'd use a search, but I completely forgot all names and clues. It is small, folding, metal construction, very simple, made since 1940s or so. Maybe letter "u" is there somewhere. Any ideas?

Also I recall that it doesn't sell anywhere apart from manufacturer 's own website.

Schrade Wire Jack?

Yes, that one! Thanks, Will!

Much better made than in the 1950's. This is solid. Opens with authority.

May get one. Picked up three Kershaw autos last year, which I love.

Nice knife, Alan! Hey folks, let's take this discussion to the appropriate sub-forum, Automatic Knife / Switchblades. Thanks!

Got one of my other passions on the mind lately. Got a couple bass today. This fat little guy was 2lb 4oz. Had my Case 65 and 75 patterns to tie lures on with.

The 49er's outplayed Detroit. No doubt. Congratulations. It was fun watching Detroit actually be good for a change. This is the best team they've had since I've been alive. It would have been great to see them get to their first ever superbowl. On the good side it makes it easy to know who to root for.
Go Chiefs!

Growing up in Nebraska I was a KC fan. But after living in the City for over forty Years and having two kids born here. I’m rooting for the 49ers
