Thanks guys, the bead was a perfect match. The Boxer has been on my radar for awhile since I saw Gordon @OldHercDude post his ironwood. I’ve been holding back but finally decided to throw the punch. (Oh man, I may lose my membership for that one! )

Those two look fantastic together Jeremy, love the brown burlap Micarta.

Very punny, Todd. Thank you, it took me some time to track down a micarta 74, but I'm glad I was able to get one. It was my KOTY last year.

Very cool looking blade unclekurty. Can you tel us more about it?

The blade is CV so I mixed up a little lemon juice, vinegar and mustard and put little drops on the blade. I saw a You Tube video about getting a patina like that. And I was inspired by seeing other folks do a patina like that here on the forum. I forget how long I left the drops on the blade. Not long though maybe 10 minutes? I did it twice on each side. I think if I put less dots each time I would have done three layers which would look better. It was fun to do and I didn’t strip any screws which I have done messing with other knives which is no fun.

Oh, really?! That's annoying, but they're not the only cutler to release a knife like that, the first GEC #15s had similar issues

I never knew. Would there be anything one can do about that? Except for sending it back.

That pair is amazing.
It's like a perspective of opposites.

Thanks John. They did compliment each other quite well.

Hopefully that isn’t the “kiss I’d death.”
GO BUCS!

Nice setup Jon, Go Chiefs!

Thanks Todd. Your Bucs did quite well. Hopefully you have a great time watching the game next week with your son

Good luck to your Chiefs.
Knives and Meat... you're already a winner.

Thanks John. It was a win win last night

Great looking 78 and great stag, I always admire it, (Hope I got it right)

Yup, it’s a 78 and thank you

That’s a beautiful White Owl John, nice and dark with good contrast at the bolsters.

Thank you, Todd.

it's nice to see your White Owl again

Thank you, Jack.

White owl and....?

I've also had my Lil Rattler and Usual Lamb on me this morning.

Looks great, John

Thank you, Jeremy.

But it's GEC... So they automatically get a "pass'... They can do no wrong.

I forgot to make the switch and just got the sak out of the flowerpot. It's been Mellow Yellows after all.

Not with that one, I don't think, filing the kick on the Pen would have dropped the nick into the frame. I sent it back, but even then, there was no chance of getting a replacement from GEC. A kind former member sent me one over. Still had the same issue, but not as bad, so I put a balsa shim under the kick of the Spear, leaves the tip slightly proud, but made a great-looking knife useable at least

What has become a usual, a lambsfoot and a TP barlow for today.

At the time, I think the story was that, if you grew your finger-nails, you might be able to reach in, vertically, and 'pick' the main blade open!

Or use the small screwdriver on your SAK!

Yes!
It's a two knife operation.

Leaving the house for a few errands with this one

 

[Peregrin]

Holy cow! It's Monday again? Have a good one.
Getting some snow here, so it's an indoor day until it stops. Then I'll venture out to clean it up.
These two today.

Jack Black , no problem opening the secondary on the Eureka Jack. A member did ask me about it when I first posted the knife.

Trying to make it a little educational.....
A calendar I got for Christmas.

My hunt for a 47 in burlap continues.

Very cool, thanks for sharing that.

Thanks Todd. Your Bucs did quite well. Hopefully you have a great time watching the game next week with your son

Thank you. There wasn’t much drama in either the Bucs or the Chiefs games this week.

Chiefs looked dominant after the first quarter.

First and foremost - get well wishes for Jeff Amir Fleschwund and his daughter.

Up really late this morning 0911 because of terrible terrible cramps in my leg last night, which kept me up most of the night. Get them occasionally since they took the bone out of my leg to make a new jaw bone for me. Anyway, I'm not even venturing out of the house today for fresh air but need to put myself in a better mood so, I'm giving this Schrade Tennessee River Trapper a go mostly at my desk.



Hoping everyone involved in the bad weather back East has a safe day. Gotta go. Cindy has sausage and french toast on the stove.
