My Todd bigfish64 inspired carry. The knives and zippo were awesome gifts from him. I figured with all of the recent fishing talk and pictures I’d incorporate my favorite rod and reel. PLUS Baseball is back so I could bring out my favorite slip. I’m hoping to go to spring training Monday

Fantastic picture Jon. Is that the outfit you used for bass in the SIUE ponds?

My watch pocket carry at work today...

Quirky and cool right there my friend.

Staying home today. A technician is coming by to service Cindy's oxygen machine that she uses at night. Looking forward to lunch today - fried Spam sandwich!!! I'll use my injured CV Sod Buster Jr. to do the slicing.

Spam! Fantastic. The wife and I fry spam and make spam and bean nachos once every blue moon. Always puts a smile on her face.

Out and about yesterday with my bike jacket EDC.

This time its a Wenger 78 (date of my first tour in N.I.) I love this one, just a small lanyard to grip and pull.
Very hard to get the thin paracord through the hole.
These where original designed to be used as a plumb bob for grenades launched from the swiss army rifle,what cord they used I can not imagine it would have to be so very thin.
Telescopic space pen and SAK fit neatly together in this pouch taking minimal pocket space.





















The eyelets, present on all variants of the "1951 Models" and up to variant 5 of the "1961 Models" were designed so the knife could be used as a plumb-bob by introducing a string.

The Swiss Army requested this modification, to determine the aiming angle when using the assault rifle "FASS 57" as a grenade launcher.








Grenade launcher FASS 57 and the soldier’s knife as a plumb-bob

When the Swiss Army adopted the new FASS 90 rifle the eyelet became redundant, it was abandoned on variants 6 and 7 of the "1961 Models".

Thank you for sharing this, Sir

Cool pic

Thanks, Jack.

I usually use the front page as a background but today’s was just too gruesome .

Tomorrow’s sports page will have good news. ️

Such a cool picture Bart. Looks like you are getting a nice patina going on your Lambsfoot.

Thanks, Todd. It’s getting started, but it needs more pocket time. That eureka jack has been hogging my pocket.

Have these two with me today. The IRJ and a Case Bose Norfolk. View attachment 1762829View attachment 1762830 @JohnDF made me a sweetheart deal on the Norfolk, couldn’t pass it up, my first Case Bose. Thanks buddy,

Love the reel, Todd and nice score on the Norfolk. Such an awesome knife. I hope you are enjoying it.

My dream is to acquire an old roll top desk and fill the cubbies with antique fishing gear.

That would be cool!

Nice picture, Jon. Spring training is something I have never done but would love to do. I’m hoping to go with the kids in the next few years. Have fun!

I carried my Brook and my other Eureka Jack today.

With no particular place to go, doing upkeep on some 110's and 55's
( Skeleton pic found on Pinterest )

That translucent Buck illustrates what I like so much about slip joints and lock backs: so little to go wrong or to malfunction! No springs, no little mechanisms and screws to go loose.

Oh, and nice Bucks too!
