Very hard to beat that pair, my friend.

I like that pairing, it looks super useful.

Small swell center jack again today...

That looks good in black. Stainless or carbon?

So since you guys are paying members, why do you use flickr n such? Isn't easier to upload to the forum directly? Just curious ..

Quoted from the other thread, but I agree. They do have reasons for the rigamarole of using photo hosting sites ~ storage, sorting, collectors kind of stuff, but like they say... “I aint gots time fo dat”!

Take the picture with the ifone, edit it, use Resize Image app to change it to 1MB to fit the BF limit, click “attach files”, “Photo Library”, tap the pic, and tap add. So simple even I can do it.

Given how that one particular photo hosting site destroyed millions of photos a few years ago, they can all pound sand.

Cleaning and oiling the 3 main knives and pouches I took to France.

Solid three.

Mr Albers makes a nice looking jack.

Watching a Great Blue Heron over morning coffee, with Case/Bose Wilfred Hunter close at hand...

Nice. Not nearly as majestic, but the wrens nesting by my deck are friendly little guys, and fun to watch. While I strolled out to the back garden to shoot a knife picture, one of them followed along and perched a few feet away on the fence.

This leggy pair today. The Fleschwund Trapper and it’s new buddy.

Nice!

I got mine many years ago at the hardware store, back when Kerry Hampton posted that Tony Bose used it. If you google it, you can find the original at some hugely inflated prices on the auction site.

EVERYTHING has hugely optimistic pricing on the auction site.

I've been carrying Dad's old knife for a week or so, and I have absolutely had a blast with the thing. I started out only liking single blade slipjoints, thinking "Who needs 3 blades?" or "That's too heavy." but I've recently found an appreciation for the stockman. These things are truly a multi-tool with countless uses.

A knife with family history.
I am glad to read someone praising multi-bladed knives!

Quiet Saturday evening, here with my FF 99 in od green, more like black micarta now. My very first GEC, and farm and field. Sure wish they would make these again.

Why? You already have one.


You know that’s what your wife would say.

73 in Stag today, Hank approves

Sorry but posting pictures as I've always done, just doesn't work

I think I like Hank. Hard not to...

Hard work rewarded. Thanks for the view.

Finally made it out again today

My wife, whose name is Vic, gave me a Vic Fisherman for Xmas years back. I always tote it whenever I’m fortunate enough to get out there fishing.

Nice SAK.
Out of curiosity, is that a Mitchell 300?
The best & most trouble free spinning reel ever made, IMHO. No one knows what their life is. Those made in the 1950's are still going strong.
The only thing that ever breaks is the bail spring (maybe once every two or three seasons) but replacements are inexpensive (even to me) and easy to replace. I think I have four 300 bail springs and three 302 bail springs in my tackle box. One for each reel.

Picked a couple gallons of Oregon Sugar SnapPeas yesterday. Not enough to freeze or can ~ they’ll be gone in a few days.
After seeing @Travman’s four line Camillus EO Jack the other day, I knew mine was due to get used.
It’s joined by this awesome lion knife that my friend Harry gave to me.


5K Qs ~ I got a chuckle at : “an endcap display next to the cheese case”.

About that Hobo Knife, it’s a HOBO KNIFE!
If they made it ao you could take it apart, a hobo would lose the implements.
You’re supposed to wipe them clean on your pants and shirttails.

Weekend winding down. Have a great Sunday everyone. Texas Jack today.

Enjoying these two today.

We've been home since we got back from our jaunt to town Thursday so, I'm thinking we'll go for a short ride around the area to see what's happening. Besides, I've been thinking about chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and white gravy at the Wagon Wheel Cafe since last night. We don't need groceries but we are out of onion rings so, a quick stop at the Holiday Market might be in order. Whatever we turn out doing today I'll be carrying "Guillotine" my SS Sowbelly I used to behead the rattlesnake that dared cross my path Friday.

The ebony, single blade sowbelly embodies the word, "elegant"

Yuck !
If there is one thing I can stand even less than snakes, it’s dead snakes. Even more disgusting than the live ones

Thanks, Barrett. I haven't tried it out much yet, and regret not taking it with me on our 10-day trip to Minnesota, where I could have put it through its paces eating hotel breakfasts and various pub and restaurant dinners. I know my Ka-bar is higher quality than this Lake & Trail model I picked up for under $10 from a sporting goods aisle endcap right next to the cheese case while buying groceries in May. It's really not bad, except for the rather important fact that the utensils can't be separated - no provision for taking it apart!

That probably would have been handy on your trip. The only one I have is this A.G. Russell. It doesn’t have a spoon, and was a bit on the pricey side (partly due to the dyed and stabilized oak scales), but it seems really well made. I picked it up at their store the last time I was back home in Arkansas.

It is! Funny thing is I never cast with it. I’ll backwards reel it to let line out for trolling and then reel in fish!!!
