That's a great fixed/folder pair you've got.

My weekend will entail helping some friends move. Rarely a fun job, but I've got a hard use pair picked out: ready for cutting cardboard and sandwiches. (bottle opener on the Vik Rambler on the keychain, just in case)

Nice choice r8shell, a very capable pair. Hope you get a chance to use the Rambler's opener. :thumbsup:;)

The sheath on mine was tight at first too, but it's pretty thin leather and has stretched out to fit. I'm hoping it doesn't start to get too loose.

Me too, Rachel. On the edge of madness.
No Ukrainian knife here, but the last time I re-tubed one of my amps, I found a guy in Ukraine who sells some great NOS tubes.
I hope he’s ok...

Not scheduled to go anywhere until next Tuesday but will still carry around the house. Feeling a little fancy today so, I'll be toting this SS Sod Buster Jr. Case did a good job with this jigged Autum Bone. This particular knife will make a great Halloween carry.

Even though Halloween is a ways off, it’s good to make plans for the future.

Black Friday! Today is a better day. No calls from home with a flooded basement. Hope everyone on the Porch is having a good one!

I hope you were able to get home in time to stave off water damage! This is definitely the time to keep an eye on sump pumps!
With the ground frozen, rain and melt water has nowhere else to go. Been there/done that.

It was a long day today , what with getting up early and going 18 miles to make sure a Great Grand Daughter gets on the school bus and then picking her up from the school bus after school . On the way back we stopped by Geneva Lake to see how many people were on it .


There were in fact many more people than what is shown here .
Then later when I wanted to get a picture of todays carry , she wanted to hold it .

An older but better photo of the old Taylors Eye Witness Lambfoot

No, the g.grand daughter & knife is the better photo!
I’m jealous. Three granddaughters 800 miles east, and two grandchildren 1000 miles west😟

I carried this along with my 97 today:

This has an interesting issue I've only seen before on very old knives: the center pin has rotated about a quarter turn. Since this pin was sanded flush on the rounded edge of the handle, the part of the top of the pin that was pointed to the center of the handle (the part closest to the shield here) is the tallest part of the pin, and it is now pointed toward the blade, sticking out a bit on the handle. (The pin is one piece, so it is sticking out on both sides of the knife.) It's very noticeable visually, and even more by touch. I got a bad closeup that kind of shows what I'm talking about here:

At some point I'm either going to knock these back flush again very gently with my ball peen hammer, or use this as the excuse I need to take the whole knife apart (and recover it with something a little cooler than my rosewood turned out to be).

It's a great knife, but I don't carry it as often as I used to before this happened. It's odd - the pivot pin is still pretty much invisible in the front bolster, so it hasn't moved. But this pin in the spring has moved 90°.

I vote pein and keep, but I’m partial to rosewood!

I'm glad you like your BFF. 🤠:thumbsup:
Mine's been in my pocket. I've used it for a few chores and it works so nicely.

I'll be carrying mine today, and looking for reasons to use it!

In the meantime, I’ll carry the Brook and try to resist getting the bff Barlow. 😁 It looks very well done and a handy size 👍

I’m trying to resist the Boker but it looks so nice.

Resistance is futile! :oops: ;)
The Brook is still on my wish list. The BFF is a nice knife though!

One side of my family came from a little shtetl (Jewish village) in Ukraine. I always picture it as something from Fiddler On The Roof, and once again am glad they immigrated, but sad for what they left behind.

The 2017 run of GEC 78’s might have been their best ever single pattern production run. This version is my favorite among many great choices. It is hard to believe how many years can pass before patterns are produced again.

I can see why you, that is beautiful.

Still have about half a rav of sleet frozen to the deck railing, just enough to make my Zippo stand up. I’ll have the IRJ with me today. Going to do a little shopping later, and then out to eat. That’s the best part.

Talk about using what you have to make things work. Where would you be without that leftover sleet? ;)

Couldn’t agree with you more about that run of 78’s — it is one of my favorite patterns. Yours is a beaut! 👍
