Morning! Going to be signing off of all things social media for about a month. I’ll miss seeing everyone’s posts and what new gear comes to the surface. I’m thankful for the community here!

I love seeing your Boker Barlows, Todd. It looks like you had your work cut out for you today. I’m glad the turtles are okay

Thanks Bart, but the folks at the top of the hill had it worse.

I had my ancient Barlow and my Boker brook today.

Nice Barlow, and that Brookie never gets old.

I’ll be carrying the cap lifter today, and breaking out the camp muk while griddling breakfast this morning

The knives and eats are awesome around your place Jon.

I started not washing my coffee cup when I made Chief kind of as a joke, but have stuck with it the last 6 years. Funny thing is people say it’s gross and I haven’t been sick a day since.

I have not been sick either. Going on 6 years.
Looks like it would excel at food prep

knock on

Still weed whacking (or is it wacking) today plus moving some fallen branches to a new wood pile I'm starting. I'll be switching the red linen Bull Nose Sod Buster out for a black delrin Bull Nose Sod Buster. Eggs and waffles for breakfast.

Incredible knife.

 

[5K Qs]

Yeah the roundabouts are relatively new. However, the need to make U-turns to get to where you want to go is not. If you like pizza, house of pizza had good food a few years back. Did not eat there the last stint. If you have time and want good home style breakfasts, drive down highway 10 to Becker, going towards St. Paul and eat at Rebecca's Cafe. That was my every weekend day start the day off right place.

Thanks for the recommendations, but my wife overruled my suggestions (from you, mostly) in favor of recommendations from other quilt show attendees and our waiter at Coyote Moon Grille (at a golf course northeast of town). Walked right by House of Pizza to go to the Olde Brick House, an Irish pub which had good food.

That sounds like a wonderful time Gary Quite a hefty piece of cutlery there!

It's a good change of pace, Jack, but I'm looking forward to singing along with Paul Simon, "Gee, but it's great to be back home!"
Famous black/red pairing for you!

We call that drive through Crook County, NW Indiana and up into Michigan ~ and back ~ The Armpit. Unbelievable traffic,never ending make work road destruction zones, and billi boards for hair plugs, lawyers and fireworks.

What he said Gary.
Well said Jeff, we don’t go through there very often but I hate it each time we have to.

Nice Cary Gary.

I think that Borman Expressway past Gary and west to the Dan Ryan has had construction and back-ups every time I've driven on it since 1970. I always thought the traffic wasn't as bad once I-80 and I-94 split, although I haven't driven through there for quite a few years. And for some reason our GPS took us toward downtown on the Dan Ryan and then west on the Eisenhower late on a Friday afternoon - that seemed ill-advised to me! For what it's worth, Twin Cities traffic was almost as bad; I'm turning into a grumpy geezer traveler.
Thanks for the smiling thumbs up for the knives I posted, Todd.

It's a Wonderful Knife, Jim! (Spellcheck just "corrected" Jim to Tom!??!)

Mind-blowing bone, Steve!!

One more last of the last on Thrifty Thursday's Pile
SABRE JAPAN 620 Barehead Single Blade Slim Trapper
There was a time when you could ride around all day and find these at Woolworth's for about a buck or so ... remember?

My daughter just bought me a Sabre stockman at an antique mall in Stillwater, MN and gave it to me for Father's Day. Related to some posts about knives and offspring, my daughter has very little interest in knives herself, but she seems to have filed away the info I've given her over the years about qualities I value in a knife, and can pick out some good ones. I haven't had a chance to clean up this Sabre stockman yet, but it seems pretty good. I now have 3 Sabres: a Sabre Japan daddy barlow, a Sabre Ireland trapper very similar to this one Jim posted but with clip/spey blades, and the new-to-me Sabre Hong Kong stockman. I didn't know Sabre once made knives in Hong Kong!


Scout Knife of the Week is a black Vic Spartan (thanks, Paul):


1-Blade Knife of the Week is a CEM agriculture folder:


- GT

 

[BrotherJim]

Thanks 5K Qs -GT. I thought for the longest time that Sabre was ONLY made in Japan but the brand name apparently was used all over the world by Cole National Corporation out of Ohio.

Today's tote is one I've had over 30yrs, since new. Buck 112 (X=1990). Bought while in the military but not abused like my 110 was.

 

[JohnDF]

Nice light John, really shows the character in those covers.

Thank you, Todd.
The sun really makes the colors... wait for it... wait for it... POP! (Cha-Ching).

If you're only going to carry one, that's a good one to carry for sure.

What a great gift and a thoughtful kid.

I had this 1979 Case 6235 out for another thread and decided to just carry it. Getting ready to go to Tennessee tomorrow, and while packing the mail arrived, so I used the 6235 to open ...wait for it... a new box of knives! Bet y'all didn't see that coming


The box wasn't supposed to be here until Tuesday, where it would have sat in the PO until I got home, so kudos to the USPS. Normally I wouldn't order anything just before going out of town. The big black box holds the June 2022 Buck of the Month (beats the jelly of the month all to heck ). The BOTM's aren't as furious as a GEC drop, but this one did sell out in less than a day, so it was order it or pass. Glad it got here before I left. Its a non-traditional 830 Marksman.

The little yellow box holds a nail nick 284 Bantam. Lightweight and around 3.75" closed, it makes a good pocket knife. At $15 bucks it qualifies for Thrifty Thursday.

After today, I'll be off the grid for a week, maybe two.

 

[Sacto]

Very handy pairing, Bart.

Nice Barlow, and that Brookie never gets old.

Thanks, guys.

... and big, juicy breasts!

When I read that, I thought it was sad that I thought of juicy chicken breasts

Then I scrolled down

Thanks for the laugh

Hope you're going off the grid for good things and not for bad things
