To the movies and dinner carry
You never know there could be some big game animals in the back row

How does it shoot?

My EDC for tonight…(Eating Dinner Cutlery)

Nice full flat grind, with a partially serrated blade.

Still visiting the granddaughters and pocketing my DTK (which is an acronym for “Dedicated Travel Knife” used by all the big dogs in the knife industry these days).

But having a DTK doesn’t mean ya’ can’t carry anything else, so a Copperhead joined us down by the water this evening.

Not gonna lie….I pucker up something fierce when handling a knife anywhere near water. I mean, I’m still having cramps and spasms three hours later. Every time the wind shifted I thought I was gonna pass a diamond.

I feel better with my Spyderco Salt or Siren around water - in addition to corrosion resistant LC200N or Magnacut, apparently the hardware is also coated to help reduce corrosion until you can rinse it all off and oil it?

Thanks, man, and welcome to BF! I see you've been here for a few weeks, reading and reacting, and likely getting the lay of the land here. Looking forward to seeing what you've got for knives and sharing your thoughts on them and others.

I've got two red Jonsered saws--I bought the 49SP sometime before 1975, so it's going on 50 and still cutting. My wife talked me into buying the CS2258 a few years back, figuring I should get a new saw every 40 years whether I needed one or not. Given my age and the longevity of the saws, I probably won't be needing another. The newer saw is 10cc bigger, handles a longer bar, is considerably more powerful, has better acceleration so it's great for bucking and lopping, and is lighter to boot. I still crank up and use the 49SP from time to time to help keep it going, plus it's like working with an old friend.

Closer to topic, I was gonna split up the rest of the oak bolts today, but got lazy instead and just hung out, doing a few household chores and two meal preps. That did give a chance to spend the whole day with my 806-1101 as I'm not to point of carrying it for work tasks or banging it up on wood or gear. I did get a few more pics out by the splitter today, though....

Thank you for the warm welcome. Yes, I’ve been a lurker for a couple of weeks or so since creating an account. I’ve perused the forums many times in the past, learning about the different steels and admiring and appreciating everyone’s examples of what makes them tick. There certainly are some very passionate and dedicated folks here.

I look forward to sharing my sharps soon. To be honest, it’s been a while since I actively participated in a dedicated web forum, and will have to brush off one of my old photo hosting accounts.

I have three red saws. 1984 Jonsereds 525, 2004 Jonsered 2150 Jubilee Edition, and a 2000 Jonsered 2165 keep offerings from the other colors company in my ‘fleet.’

My latest sharps acquisitions include two I’ve had my eyes on for awhile. In the past month, a blue BM Bugout and a ZT 0350 TS have found a home in my pockets daily. I’ve have a love of knives from an early age, with a few classics from Buck and Case and an old Schrade Barlow I just had to have from the hardware store in 1978. I look forward to posting up some visuals and engaging in conversations. Thanks again!

Been using this one for the past few days

 

[Dcdavis]

I came up pulling Romex in new construction residential. I miss the smell!

We used to do a lot of them years ago. Not many anymore, it’s gotten extremely competitive and very cheap actually. I’ve got a plumber we work around that’s been building small spec houses and we’ve been doing them for him

A different steel and coated hardware would be a great option considering how wet everything is down here, but my bigger fear is just that I’m not as sure-handed as I was in my youth. I get nervous and tense setting a knife on a railing, especially near water….because if I hear that dreaded “plop” sound there’s no way I’m going in after it. The gators can just keep it, lol:
