Jack's Random Tuesday Carry

[screened porch]

I still don't like this knife at the price I paid for it. But it cuts, i can't complain.

I got the football cheap, probably because of the lacing job.

I got the football cheap, probably because of the lacing job.

When I was a boy, footballs were still made from heavy leather, with a lighter internal 'bladder', over which the outer was laced. The balls were heavy enough dry, but they absorbed rain water, and got covered in mud. If you got hit with one in the face, you not only risked concussion, but had to walk around looking like Frankenstein's monster for a couple of days!

My random pick, this week, was this Stan Shaw Ruler Knife

I'm carrying this knife by Tod Cutler today, which is modelled on knives from the 14th and 15th century, which would have been used primarily for eating Lucky dip!

I was already carrying a Lambsfoot today, but Lady Luck handed me a second one, in the form of this unusual Shadow Lambsfoot by Joseph Rodgers, which Paul Jakeywax31 gifted me a few weeks ago Happy Double Lambsfoot Day to me!

I dipped into a fixed blade drawer.

You seem to have some pretty good antique shops Jer Here, they've declined, in terms of knife content, even over the past 5 years

Over here they're still working on our guns.

Picked out this slightly injured old Sheffield Jack, by Baxter today. It's a shame about the Pen, but the blade is still useful, and all-round, it feels like a nice knife

This one has an advantage snagging random fingers.

Thanks. It isn't a second, and I was the first to sharpen it.

Jack, I have very similar knife made by Krusius in Solingen. On the other side of the blade in a etched diamond is "Gazelle". But what I found most interesting was that on the first side in three lines it says "Krusius" "Solingen Germany" and the third line says "British Zone". I think that makes the knife made before 1956.

That's very interesting John, I love little details like that
