Happy Anniversary
Appreciate, my friend!
Happy anniversary, Jeff! A day late and a dollar short :D!
Good looking steak!
Thanks, Gary! Looking forward to leftovers!
Happy 41st anniversary to Jeff Amir Fleschwund Amir Fleschwund . Don't know how I missed it yesterday Jeff. I think I've entered the "Dottering Old Man" domain.
Well, I posted it late, Ed. I hear ya on the Old Man Domain. Today I left a burner going on the stove. The smoke pointed it out!
Nice homage to the classic Cattaraugus 225Quartetmaster!
Congrats to you and your Wife my friend . I Wish for you and her as many great years together as my wife and I have had .

Thanks, my friend! We’re all in, and no turning back.
Congrats on your 41st anniverary (we've just celebrated 54th). Glad somebody understands how to cook a steak - RARE :)
Thanks! Don’t look back ~ we’re trying to catch ya.
Agree on rare beef! Chicken, nah.
 
Many thanks JJ, that's a colourful pairing my friend, plenty of blade options :) :thumbsup:
Thanks a lot, Jack!!! It's definitely a variety pack. :)
Have a good day everyone :) Carrying my Hartshead Barlow, and a Random Tuesday German Ankermesser :thumbsup:

Very cool photograph of your Ankermesser; it looks like you could drop anchor and have a nice fishing day! :cool: 😁 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
 
Different cigar box, different knives. Case 62048S from 1970, and Camillus 68 from I don’t know when, but it has a short line tang stamp, so it’s pretty old. View attachment 1802108View attachment 1802109Cold for late April.
Nice pair. Is that Camillus sporting bone covers?

It's cold for late April here, too. Down into the 60s at night!
Thank you, Rachel, and your Boker triggered an irresistible compulsion to get out a stockman today. That’s a real knife ya got there.
Thanks! I decided to make it a Double Boker Day.

How do you like that Toferner knife? Does it hold an edge alright?
I like it a lot. It holds an edge at least as well as my 5160 Buck 110.
I don't know if it is their standard edge geometry, but the edge on mine are 10 DPS. (saved me a bunch of time not having to reprofile to 10DPS.) Bevels on both sides are even. To date, the edge hasn't chipped or rolled. "Hardest" use so far has been to whittle off a 2" diameter dry dead pine branch.
I've carried it every day since in arrived on October 04, 2021. No issues with rust. I think I've hit it once with my guided rod sharpener, that has a 10° slot. I may have dry stropped it (no compounds) maybe three times, because I was bored.

From what I was able to find online about the steel, it is a Czechoslovakian high wear resistant spring steel used for rail car springs, among other applications.
I don't know what the rockwell hardness is. I'd guess at least as high as Buck runs their 5160.
 
Well, my wonderful wife and I marked 41 years today. I’m blessed beyond what I deserve.
Thought I’d share this pic of my portehouse steak at dinner. Don’t worry, under the charred exterior, it’s properly bloody rare. And the roasted vegetables were killer.View attachment 1801866
And the three of us have enough left over that I don’t need to cook tomorrow!
Happy (late) anniversary, Jeff!!
I had my Eureka in my pocket today

Beautiful EJ, Bart. Wish more parents would read and heed signs like this.
This one for Trapper Tuesday…View attachment 1802074
…and this one just because. Have a great day everyone. 😊View attachment 1802073
Two great knives, Todd. :thumbsup:

Only traditional today was my Charlie lamb, but it was more than sufficient to get the job done.

Sounds like an excellent performer, especially for what those go for. Very cool!
