It’s a light carry, walk and talk is about perfect, strong bold medallion and 01 tool steel blade
Now the blade edge grind wasn’t the best but I put new bevels and now it’s quite sharp
Thanks again

I went into town looking for the homeless, it was a good day.
I found Lenny (been looking for him for a week) and kitted him out with boots,gloves,socks etc.using the chair I brought along as he's disabled,yet stands out in all weather selling the big issue..
Then walked around town and kitted a few more out including two lady's.

I stopped for a bite to eat and a hot drink in the market,I used my cadet to half the sandwich I couldn't eat it all and took half home.
White hot chocolate called Casa Blanca,what a pun.









Everyone was grateful, I then drove the long way home looking for more people.

Next I kitted out the poshest sounding bloke ive ever met who was on a bike,I am always careful how I ask it could be a builder on the way home 😂

But these last 2 made my day,it was like a sketch from a comedy show.
Such nice blokes who looked after each other and shared.
One had been beaten up and the police had kept his clothes for forensics,he was wearing hospital socks FFS.
The other I said are you Army give me your number,which he did but it was his prison number and he admitted he hadn't served with a cheeky smile,I think he was just trying to please me.
When I got the chair out so his mate could try on the boots they couldn't believe it.I think its as much that you spare them some time they appreciate as much as anything.
His mate threw his old shoes straight in the bin they were way past worn out.
I helped one put on the jacket I gave him and was asked to lace up the boots which I also did as he only had one operative arm.
they where just so grateful and cheerful,they made me wish I could help them more.
The church community hall had opened next to us,they where going in for some hot food,it was quite a big queue which was a refection on the times we live in.
So off they went very happy for some grub.

Carrying the Schrade 80T Old Timer my passed Navy buddy carried. He wasn't much on sharpening but I've rectified that and this knife has a very sharp edge. He moved up here when he retired and we'd go to the Wagon Wheel Cafe for chicken fried steak together so, when I go to town tomorrow one of my stops will be at the Wagon Wheel Cafe for chicken fried steak. What better lunch to have on Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve, Day than chicken fried stead? Nothing of course.

Heck, I think I'll carry this right through Christmas. His widow is joining us for Christmas Day dinner so although this knife will be carried in my pocket, it'll give him a place at the table so-to-speak. Always good to have another Chief at the table.

Ed, what a great way to remember your buddy. I hope you and his family share some great stories about him on Christmas.

I don’t smoke, but carry a Zippo lighter every day. I like the matte black Zippos. Fireplace, smoker, propane grill, burn barrel, there’s always something to light on fire.

Very true there always is something to light on fire lol😁
I might have to pick up a matt black one you have good taste👍🏻
I actually have a cherry inlay zippo on the way that should be pretty nice.
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones Sir :)
 
Guess I'll go back to a small Stockman for a bit.
Standard production Buck 301 and a standard production Buck 110. Both near vintage, from 2015

I really did carry all these yesterday. I'm wearing cargo pants again today, but I've got a CT this afternoon. I expect they'll indulge me a little, but maybe not this far. Anyway, my pants pockets will probably be in a locker.

Just to establish my cleverness, I expect them to find that I'm internally bleeding my best for Eliquis, which should be an easy fix. And maybe something else, but maybe not.
