• Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope that you all have something to be grateful for this year and for many years to come
  • America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.

    Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

Re-Cycled photo of todays carry :

Picked these 2 up at the Badger Blade Show yesterday . The Goal was to get a couple of patterns that I did not have when I went .
1986 Bulldog Stag Canoe , made in Solingen : Brass Liners and Pins /// Pinned Shield , No half/stops , Flush when Open and Closed with both blades . Knife was a little Gritty that I will have to clean out . 3 & 1/2 long closed .



Big Heavy Stag Lock Back . Tang Stamp says C.JUL.HERBERTZ and Rostfrie . Have wanted this Pattern for quite a while . Length = 4 & 1/4 " Open and 7 & 3/4/" Closed . Brass Liners and Pins , Blade is Centered . Very Heavy Stag , Knife is 1" Thick . Well of knife needs to be cleaned a little . The Pencil in the photos to keep the knife from tipping .



Canoe is 3/8 " thick and Herbertz is 1.0" thick . Did I say Heavy Stag ????


I had a Goal of XX Number of Stags in my meager collection and I expect that I have reached it now .

I can hear the Bass calling... Glub, Glub, Glub. 😁
Thay’re calling both of our names 😁
I'm back to carrying this wonderful Lloyd today...
I love seeing customs get carried 👍
Now that’s a show of discipline! 😊👍
Only because I didn’t have any gear with me. If I did I’m sure I would have had a little bit of time. 😁
I really like the red shields on the Cases 👍 I might need to track one down, but which one? 🤔
 
Looking good Taylor :) :thumbsup:

Today was a pretty great day. I left the house early in the morning, met up with @herder and we headed over to Wisconsin for the Badger Knife Club Knife Show. Before the show, we met Old Engineer Old Engineer and @Amir Fleschwund for breakfast. We got to chat a bit, show off some knives and then check out all the good stuff at the show.

This was my first time meeting Harry or Jeff in person, and it was a absolute pleasure. I hope we get to do it again sometime, guys! :thumbsup:

I had my #86 Angus Jack in my pocket today. I may have brought a few other knives along with me as well. 🙃

I picked up a pair of USA Schrade 5OT’s at the show, both in carbon steel, something I’ve been looking for at a reasonable price for a while now.

Ride in the sun,stopped at a RAF cemetery to sit amongst the graves and read a bit.
The thing that sticks with me most about Nessmuk's little book is how near the surface death was.
Chat with a woman on the beach, and, "Once I was somebody, but now I'm just a little dying girl".
Teach your old friend's kids a little camping, and, "I'm glad I did, because the next year they both died of fever".
[I probably already said this in the Nessmuk trio thread.]

Further information if of interest,I used to refuel the bowser on the airfield for the RAF powered gliders
I was once descended on by a load of tough looking blokes asking what I was doing there,I was driving a bright yellow RAF bowser and mooching around so hardly sneaking in.🤣
The Airfield is mostly empty and sealed off, I think they where SAS doing fast rope training and other stuff 😂

I often stop at military memorials, read a book eat a apple and keep them company for a while.

I figured there had to be more to the story.
🤣🤣🤣
I carried my Alox SAK today for little league opening day and my son’s first game. Long day and tons of fun.
