Jack's Random Tuesday Carry

"In my experience, there's no such thing as coincidence."

I could go for a plate o' shrimp right about now.

No joking, about an hour after I posted that my wife called me and asked me if I knew how to make shrimp salad (she was thinking of dinner options). Coincidence??????!!!!!!!!???….

Toothpick today?

This one must have been really cheap somewhere. Broken blade, flabby spring, and too small to begin with. But it is a Kabar.

I had no idea I had it.

I don't think I've seen that Okapi model before Jer The handle looks like the ones Imperial/Richards/Jowika used to use for their Fish Knife. Do you know anything more about it?

I don’t know the date of manufacture except that it is obviously since the move to SA in the late 1980s. I bought it “new old stock”off the auction site for $6. The liners and backspring are formed from a single piece of folded sheet metal (“integral”- fancy!), and the handles are hollow stamped sheet metal. The blade appears to be made of the same carbon steel the ratchet knife blades are made from. The action is a bit stiff, but very solid when open. I like this one a lot.

That's really interesting Tom Thanks for the info, and my apologies, to you and Jer, for getting my quotes mixed up!

I’m not upset about being confused for Jer, but if were him I would be incensed at getting mistaken for me.

I had almost cooled down about it!

Thanks Charlie, that's a really cool little knife my friend

These aren’t the knives you’re looking for:

Drawer 2/knife 9 was this shell-construction Mikov which I made a wrap for using some Star Wars themed laptop stickers. If anybody felt a disturbance in the force, it was me making my Random Tuesday choice on Monday night - work has been crazy so I thought I would tee it up ahead of time while I had the chance…

Really cool Tom I'm embarrassed to say that I completely forgot that it was Tuesday!

Nice Jer I've been shamed into delving into a random knife drawer, and pulling out this TEW Serpentine Jack

 

[screened porch]

Tapered serpentine!
I think that shape has a name I've forgotten.

I like that old Colonial. Slim and solid.
