Thats a super functional looking fixed blade, Jack As always, beautiful lamsfoot to complement

One of my most carried this year. Stropped for some more. Really like the 77s size.

Looking good, Pete. Love the patina. Cool pic

It almost looks like a two-hander in comparison to the folder

It does have a longer handle on it.
3.5 for the blade and 4.5 for the handle.

Super cool and very practical combo to start your week; I'd imagine you have all your cutting requirements well covered!

My first vintage slipjoint, my first stockman, and my first Schrade-Walden! An 832 from I think the 50s-70s sometime, with "wondawood" synthetic covers. Knife is in great shape, fit and finish is like 7/10, great snap on the sheepsfoot and the clip and totally fine snap on the pen blade. Walk and talk feel great. Springs are all nicely flush with the blades closed, the sheepsfoot is flush open, the clip is ALMOST flush open, and the pen isn't flush open. I...guess I prefer flush when closed if I only get one choice, but at least the two I will use most of the time are either flush or close to flush. All bolster/cover transitions are fine besides one corner of one bolster with a minor gap,band only minor backspring gaps. 0.5 points for each blade that isn't flush and then two points off for gaps and other minor issues, for the $40 I paid I think it's right on par with what I'd expect from Case.

Clip is 0.06" at the spine, other two are 0.05", this thing should cut very well. Love the federal shield. Very happy overall, will definitely have my eye on more Schrade-Walden on the auction sites.

Didn't get a chance to grind in new edges, the blades are full and in good shape but definitely not sharp. Looking forward to getting some time on the stones after work, I hear great things about their heat treats.

Who’s ready for fall?

Fall yes. Sorry but not into pro sports other than Indy car and formula 1. College football is another story

Seeing those baseball cards reminds me that growing up in Omaha I knew and went to high school with Bob Gibson‘s oldest daughter. Bob grew up in Omaha and I used to see him and his family at swimming pool our families belonged to. First met him when I was 7 or 8. I just remembered how BIG his hand was when he shook mine. I wish he would have played longer but when MLB in their infinite wisdom lowered the mound he decided to call it a career. But man he could sling it!

That knife was advertised as 'propwood.' The term WondaWood came a little later. It was advertised in the catalogs with the Schrade Walden tang stamps from 1953 through 1973. After the Delrin revolution it came with what I call 'barnwood' Delrin covers. This was about 1961-1962. The 3 5/16" Schrade stockman came in perhaps at least more than a hundred variations.

Appreciate the extra info! So 50s or early 60s, gotcha. Twice my age! I definitely prefer the prop wood to that delrin

This week I'm carrying my "top ten" from another category I intend to include in my new weekly rotation schedule. My old schedule had a category of "Bailed non-SAKs" and another of "Big Knives" and those will be "selectively merged" into a new category called "Work Knives" for my new schedule. It consists primarily of electrician knives, camp/scout/utility knives (that are not SAKs), sodbuster-style knives of various sizes, and nautical knives of various kinds (if a knife has a shackle/bail and an anchor shield, it's IN for sure). So here are a couple of my favorites from the category.
Camillus linesman knife, my first electrician whose black and silver color scheme makes the knife look very distinguished IMHO:


Watchman sheepsfoot anchor knife:

It doesn’t look like you’re too old to me. That’s fine work.
Years from now, your son will be helping his kids, and he’ll remember you.

That’s some fine work! Looks good!

Thank you guys. It isn't that I have gotten afraid of hard work, it's my aching body that complains about the work I am no longer used to doing. ...............................
and Elijah J. ain't so fond of it neither. I relish being good at retirement now days.

Trust me my friend, I understand all too well.
No one warns you that old hurts.

I absolutely love that Spey blade. Is it a 2 blade trapper or single? Looks alot like the GEC23 Spey blade. I have been using a 23 the last few years to dress out my deer. Very nice man!
