What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

The very reason I leave pocketknives in my vehicles; took off for Jacksonville and realized I had forgotten my pocketknife - this console knife to the rescue. Case 63087 MED Stockman. Need to go put it back in the car now that I'm home. OH

Just got back from taking some mail to the P.O. and was listening to Willie's Roadhouse which was playing a Tom T. Hall song . Do you folks remember Old Dogs and Children and Watermelon Wine ? One of my all time favorites . It reminded me of the many old dogs that we have had , our children , and Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren and my 2 favorite GEC knives . It just so happens that I had them , and still do , in my pockets . My first GEC and my first 73 . Pictured below on another 2022 Calendar photo of Grandfather Mountain , N.C.

As usual, I'll post my carries for this week in groups of 3 or 4, over 4 different days chosen from 1/3 thru 1/9. Also as usual, my first group will contain ... a non-SAK international knife.

How do you like that MAM?
I almost stuck mine in my pocket today, but decided to carry my yellow Rough Rider loom fixer/"half hawk" instead.

Remember the song well, and I love it. However, my favorite by Tom T Hall is Sneaky Snake.
I loved it when I was a kid; where did the last 45 years go?

Great knives! I love those sawcut red 77s!

It was... until I got to work and the internet was down. :(
It wouldn't normally bother me, but I took the whole two weeks off and didn't bother to print out my assignments. 😁

Isn’t that how it always goes. 🤣

It did Jim, but coming off a break it feels like your life goes from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye as soon as that first bell rings. 😊

That isn't Parsons, KS, is it?
That looks like the house my former boss lived in when she was a kid growing up in Parsons. (I forget what street it was on.)
Her daddy passed back in 2009.

Same country, different state ... Alabama.
A man that owned many rental properties around here, built and lived in that house for a time.
At his passing decades ago, all his properties fell to his heirs and they continued to rent and sell off his estate.
This particular property (and others) once belonged to his daughter, who now lives in Nevada and has no interest in it.
In fact, a couple of decades ago, she agreed to sell the property to a guy for monthly payments as long as he also paid the property taxes.
Well, the guy never lived there, he rented it out and eventually let the property taxes lapse and the county placed the property at auction.
Since the property was still in the daughter's name, by state law I could not alter the property for 3yrs except as preservation measures (if I wanted to).
I also could have lived in or rented out the property but it is uninhabitable and I wouldn't live there anyway. Shoot.
The 3yrs allowed the originally named owner time to compensate me for any and all expenses, subsequent property taxes incurred ... plus 12% ... that's the law.
I held my breath for 3yrs and have not heard a peep from the original owner, so the property is now legally mine with a tax deed in hand from the probate office.
Sad to see the state that once beloved home is now in. Someone must have been very proud of it when new in 1940 before time, neglect and abuse tirelessly destroyed it.
