Trapper Tuesday and Two Blade Tuesday in one package.

Nice trapper. 30-30 by chance

 

[Hyesouljah]

Send me a message after 5th October when I return from Spain and I will send you some.

I can make a bigger loop so you can loop it though the tail,you can also add a split ring as another way of doing it.

That is very thoughtful of you my friend, I appreciate that very much! But I already have so much paracord for lanyards that I don’t know what to do with it! You did inspire me to maybe but a nice bright diamond orange lanyard on my 71 however. I will share some pics of it once I do


The Micarta on my spade 88 got pretty dry from all the use and it had a lot of white peaking through. A tiny amount of leather wax made it nice and dark again!

No, it's 8mm. 30-30 is rimmed. That is the only Remington soft point ammo I have. Loaded to the anemic US standards, similar to 30-30 (170 gr at 2360 fps). The European loads that I have are in an entirely different class, usually 197 gr at 2500-2600 fps. German WW 2 standard load was 196 gr at 2470 fps, which was significantly more than the US standard ball 30-06, 150 gr at 2700 fps.

Thank you for the compliments ! That is a beautiful Northwoods. I tried for one, but, the site got all jammed up and wouldn't give me the PayPal option until too much time had passed. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Tina makes horticulture knives and have been in business for a long time. I customized mine quite a bit after I bought it. Stripped the clear finish off the wood with 50 percent denatured alcohol, 50 percent lacquer thinner, and steel wool and stained it to a color that suited me. Then finished that with a couple coats of low gloss tung oil varnish. Forced a patina and smoothed it out, after first smoothing out the spine of the blade and adding a bit of swedge work to both sides of the spine. Pretty much the same on the Opinel, except it had an anodized blade and collar, which I just rubbed out with Ultra fine Scotchbrite.

That wharnie is amazing !

Thank you !

Thank you very much Mr P, sorry to hear about the fish - a bit like my doc! I'm glad you enjoyed getting out anyway my friend

A very handsome pair

Thank you Mr. Jack and sorry the doc didn't cooperate. Maybe you need to get rough with him. ( or alternatively, just give him the grouchy treatment )

I'm not sure why I immediately thought of french fries when I saw this. Must be that time of day.

Me 2 !!!

Indeed! The consistency from one drop to the next is amazing! EA knows what he’s doing.

I haven't had smoked oysters in a long time. I think I need to remember them next time I'm in the grocery store. Good looking TC!

 

[bigfish64]

That's a looker Todd

Thank you very much Jack.

Here are a couple more of what I'm calling "my 10 best stockman knives" that I'll carry until next Monday.
Uncle Henry 897UH medium stockman that I think is the standard to which all medium stock knives should be compared (thanks, Dean). Look at those rounded bolsters! Look at those (almost) sunk joints! Look at those low-riding blades (especially the sheepsfoot, Case!)! Look at that long slender clip! (OK, I'd better add another photo.) Look at that Staglon! Look at those sensuous curves in the serpentine frame!

That sowbelly is fantastic Gary, and incredibly special.

Made the weekly Costco run earlier. Took my Cramer Lanny's Clip Jr along for the ride.

Fantastic knife Gary, beautiful colors.

Love smoked oysters, usually put a drop of Tabasco on mine.

Fantastic knife Gary, beautiful colors.

Thanks Todd. I love the amber stag on the LC. It'll make a good Halloween carry.

Thursday carry Case Zippo Small Coperlock

 

[Ruhiger Sturm]

Carried this funky monkey around today.

 

[mitch13]

More jobs outside, the lumberjack.

 

[Sacto]

Good analogy. GS's always look better with a little dirt and 'patina' on them.

And of course I'm carrying this one today:

Those new Northwoods are very cool and I love the Filson. Is that a vest? Looking forward to it cooling off so I can get mine out.

I’ve been grabbing this one a lot lately
View attachment 1923862

I can see why. That’s a beauty!

Farmboy today with GEC Scout in backpocket.

Another beauty!

Eureka jack again. Great blade for cutting open a bag of salt.
