Tom, I kind of wish I had visited your neck of the woods, but no such luck.A Skipjack magnet! Someone has visited my neck of the woods…

When you generously sent me that Mikov anchor knife, you included all sorts of ancillary goodies (that magnet, a bunch of stickers, a canal post card, some vinyl sheets to add covers to the knife)!
(Thanks for the link, too. I had no idea that boat magnet was based on a famous kind of boat.

I completely forgot I sent you that
.I remember I sent you the adhesive vinyl for the knife handle, though. A memory lapse like that at the tender age of 59 would be alarming, except that I have always had a lousy memory… or at least I seem to remember having always had a lousy memory…

Can you remember what Barbra Streisand sang about memory?
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So maybe you've just had a tough life, rather than a lousy memory.

This week's all-metal knife is a prized possession for a retired math geek like I am. It's a Richartz knife with carbon steel spearpoint blade including whale on tang stamp, equal-end frame with bail, and covers stamped with multiplication tables for 1-12 (thanks, Mark):

Really like your knife for the holiday, Alan!
Here's a knife I got for Christmas several years ago, tucked it away in my billfold, and forgot that I had it in there. I re-discovered it this past weekend. It's an all-metal tiny linerlock made for KeySmart:

Alan, the little knife I posted last week did indeed come from the company that makes those KeySmart key organizers. (The key organizers look good to me, but I've never tried one.) I like your serrated Moki. I used a cheap serrated steak knife as my main kitchen knife for most of my adult life (say, 1972-2014), and I often think I should find a serrated folder to add to my literal EDC for jobs where serrated blade is better than plain.Gary5K Qs Is that from the key chain company? Cool.
My rotation schedule didn't assign me an all-metal knife this week, but this Boker Plus Atlas copper-handled knife is almost always in my pocket, whether it's on the week's schedule or not. I used it for many kitchen tasks while visiting daughter and son-in-law in St. Paul last week.

Thanks Gary. I have one of the key smart organizers but it ends up being one more thing to carry that is unnecessary. That Boker Atlas is an excellent knife. I think it was Charlie

who posted one originally that led to this.
