Mystery GAW/Challenge

Starting Day 2 of Mike's Challenge
My first impressions of the Bullnose...
It's a little big but I can pocket carry it easy enough. I started with the safety pin and moved to the sheath, figured I had it so I might as well use it too (double challenge). I really love the way it feels in-hand, it's so comfortable to use. The one thing I'm not super thrilled with is the point being so high on the blade. It makes opening feed bags and packages a little trickier than using something with a lower point like a Lambsfoot or Clip Blade. I really excels at cutting meat and fruit though. The experiment continues...

After much deliberation on what knife I’d choose I finally made up my mind. I didn’t just want to pick a knife I don’t carry, but a pattern and size I don’t carry. I only have a few single blade knives I’d actually consider a pocketknife. I’ve had this little Remington R-5 for a couple of years now, but doubt I’ve carried it more than once. It’s just a tad shorter than a 34OT, which I find extremely useful. Unless it’s on my belt I just gravitate towards a 3 bladed knife. So here goes, starting tomorrow and through the week......I’m in please :)

I guess I’ll play along :D. My choice is this Case Seahorse Whittler. I always like the looks of this pattern and was pretty happy once I finally purchased one. Unfortunately that happiness was short lived, I really dislike the way the knife feels in hand. I’m also not a huge fan of how thick the main blade is. This knife quickly found its home in a dark drawer for the past few years :eek:. Awesome idea for a giveaway Crazy Canuck Crazy Canuck !:)

I agree about your unfavorable feedback on the whittler.
I had one but sold it after a time. Be interesting to see if you still feel the same after this week. I don't expect that all of us will like these "shelved" knives after this experiment, but I'm open to being surprised :)
Hopefully you will...

As I started the day today carrying my Grohmman slimline I though that if I chose a nickname for it it would help the "bonding process" :D
I bought the knife in Nova Scotia where it is made in the small and picturesque town of Pictou.
Nova Scotians are sometimes called "Bluenosers" ..... so "Bluenose" it is :):D

So the first order of business today for Bluenose and I was to go out and say hi to our Canadian chickadee friends, we though it may amuse some CrazyCanuck out there :D

Today I'm experimenting with the safety pin method: creating a slip in the RFP so she'll ride properly ;)
So far so good. It's easier than sewing :eek:

Wow, Mike-- looks like about 40 knife nuts joining in on this!
Awesome :cool:
 
It's Monday morning, an hour too soon. :confused:

Just checking on the garden. I planted some eggplant yesterday and they are still alive. ;):thumbsup:

I forgot about one of the nicest features of the Western: rounded bolsters and sunken joints make a very pocket-friendly knife.

My SAK slicing up some sausage for breakfast. The real story here is the sausage. I have been eating the hickory smoked sausage from this same place since 1956. The man that made these is the third generation of his family making these. I started eating them before he was even born. He has now retired from this business and my brother and I got ten pounds each of the last batch he made. There were lots of very sad people when he retired.

I'm finding just the same John :thumbsup:

My Bullnose has helped me out with a range of mundane tasks today, but in every case, my Lambsfoot would have worked better I think :rolleyes: Nice to have options though, which is why I generally carry more than one knife :thumbsup:

Opening a new bottle of vitamins :rolleyes:
