Thanks, Gary. I can see how the schedule would be good to make sure everything gets carried.

It doesn’t matter what knife/knives I decide to drop in my pocket. Some days I just don’t pull one out to actually use it.
And there are other days when something else gets heavy use. Yesterday, and likely today, was one of those days. I spent the day digging out weeds getting the garden beds ready, and used my homemade Hori Hori knife, which is a traditional Japanese garden knife.View attachment 1815134 I ground it out of an old carbon steel heavy mower blade. Really great tool. Sorry about the dried mud on the Hickory handle!
I got roughly half of the garden done, but since it was ninety degrees (farenheit For you Euros) I came close to giving myself a case of heat stroke. Maybe today I’ll just plant these beds, and tackle the rest on a cooler day.

Cool garden knife, Jeff. I like how you put the mounting hole in the middle of the blade. It looks like some kind of maker’s mark.

This one was lost at a local park for a few weeks. When it was found it was a little rusty and missing the shield.

Let us know if GEC fixed this, if you decide to send it back to the factory for repair. I would be interested in knowing. I might offer to pay for repair, if it were mine, and see how it goes. ;)☺️

I am assuming that this is your lost knife found, since you said it was missing for a few weeks.

I didn’t notice the tang stamp on your new favorite Lambfoot before. It’s none of my business how you got your paws on it, but I’m happy for you!

I had to use the center section because I wanted that curve for a slight trowel like blade. The ends of the blade flatten for the cutting edge, with the uplift on the opposite side, and without a forge to hammer those out and re-temper it, I had to use the middle. At first, I didn’t like the hole, but now I do.
 
Went to open a can of dog food this morning, and the tab popped right off. I was about to head over to the electric can opener, but thought -- why should I do that, when I could do it "old school"? :D

So, Case Scout knife to the rescue! 👍

For the rest of the day, this 56 will be in the pocket...

I'm getting more confident that I'll have consistently good results, John. So far it's been my knives and our families kitchen knives. But, I am retired, and unless things really go to heck I intend to remain so! :cool:;)
That said, if you have an old beater or two, you have my address! :D
