Just got it back from SEALs. 1978 Case Texas Jack. One of the stag covers was loose and the secondary blade was broken. It should be good to go for another 35 years or so as a single blade. Funny how attached you get to stuff. It was only gone a week, and I have dozens of knives these days, I don't even carry it everyday anymore but I sure missed it while it was gone.

Love that!
I had one just like it that I bought at Scout camp sometime back in the early '90s. Carved my first ball-in-a-cage with it.

Sounds like we have a bit in common. That's where I got mine around the same time frame. It was my first non-SAK slip joint. Now that I've gotten older and have knives with nicer handle materials, I'm not too crazy about the jigged delrin covers. Otherwise it's a terrific knife and well worth the small amount it cost me back then.

I've always thought the ball in cage carvings were pretty neat but have never done one myself. The only things I remember carving with this were a couple of the neckerchief slide blanks that they also sold at camp.

Yep, that sounds right. If I still had it, I'd probably see it the same way. I carved a few of those neckerchief slides myself. When I returned to my old camp as a counselor, I taught knife safety and fingercarving, er, woodcarving to the first year scouts. Good times!
 
Wow! 2 days ago it was 0 degrees f, today going up in the 60s? All the snow has melted. What's with that? Today's carry.

Here too. Saturday I was shoveling snow, and salting ice-covered sidewalks. Yesterday I worked in the yard all day in a short sleeve shirt. It was still 69 F at 11:00 last night.

To rein in my off-topic comment I'll say that along with the Schrade posted above, I also have this little guy with me today.

Crazy weather Gary and Doug. Gary, does that Mace have a tapered tang? I can't quite tell in the pic.

I'm jealous of those with the 2011 EO forum knife. It may be 65 degrees here today but very, very rainy. Here's what I've got today...
