Thats a cool one , John

Thank you, Bart.

A most useful tool, my friend.

I see the attraction to that knife.

Doesn't get much better than a "Jack on a Post" photo.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

When I get old and a little worn, I hope someone carries me around too.

Well, as I’ve said before there are friends and then some
This number was an apparently sacrificed beaver-tail 85, recovered by J.Garcia with nickel pins and involved a couple of attempts in delivery.

Considering the current climate of shipping… it’s finally arrived at it’s new home

A great BIG thank you to Jeremy @sbh06
for also providing a couple of slips, one of which is hand-made I believe!!

A great evenin’ to All

Congrats! The smugglers made it through.

Eureka jack again today.

Besides the jack, I like the vise.
I found out the hard way that new “heavy duty” bench vises imported from a certain Asian country are made of pot metal with a thin layer of case hardening on the outside.
Cranked one down hard on an old Colt slide, and it simply fell apart like wet cardboard.
I lucked out, and got an big old vise from a friend who owned a garage. Cleaned it up by soaking in kerosene, and it’s good for another century of use.

Wonderful picture, Todd.
Our Bass Pro Shop had a desk set up in the entry with a lot of antique fishing gear displayed. I can sit there and just take it all in, love it!

A couple of beauties! I’ve always liked the look of higonokamis.

That’s the large one, right?
I had one, but gave it to my son. I wanted him to have a few good basic trad knives. I also gave him a Camillus TL-29, of course, a Victorinox SAK, and a sheath knife I’d made out of an old file and handled in elk antler.
I don’t know how often he carries them ~ lead a horse to water...

I’ve got several of those old reels. One even pre-dates the invention of the level wind, so you have to guide the line as you reel it in.

These were “casting reels”, but they hadn’t invented the free spool yet. The dificulty of casting one of those led to Americans taking to those weird European reels that hang down under your rod.
