After learning of the passing of our old friend Half/Stop in my absence (slightly over a year ago😥) I decided to carry a Primble Belknap Jack Knife today to honor him for his contributions on this forum. He gave me this knife to add to my Primble collection years ago and I cherished it then, possibly more now. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him and his wife Pam at one of the GEC Rendezvous for a few dinners and a few days. We made a knife trade from the trunk of my car just before I departed for home. RIP Ron and thank you my friend ! View attachment 1716365
Ron was a special kind of friendly. We have visited GEC four times during their summer Rendezvous. Ron and Harry Old Engineer Old Engineer were both very welcoming and friendly during our first visit. We quickly realized the majority of the fun with this kind of trip was the fraternity of knife enthusiasts. It truly was more about meeting nice people than the knives. It was sad knowing that we wouldn’t see him as we drove to Titusville last summer.

One of my favorite knives came from Ron. He knew how much I liked the Bloodwood Gun Scout and asked if I wanted it.

Primble Primble your knives and your pictures have always been some of my favorites. I hope to meet at a future GEC Rendezvous.

Sitting here at my desk this morning wearing my shorts and not going anywhere today - not even a mail run. I've got my Remington in my jeans pocket in another room but do have these Case knives on my desk - three blade Sowbelly Stockman; single blade Sowbelly Stockman; and a Sod Buster Jr.. Just had eggs and sausage for breakfast with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to follow for lunch. Hope everyone has a great Friday!!!!
