Beefy! 🤣



I enjoy a nicely sharpened wooden pencil, although I don’t use them all that often. Those have quite the pedigree, but I’ve never tried them out. Are they worth the price?



I’d completely forgotten about those sabre-ground #85s. Don’t feel like you seem them much.



What more could ya need? 😉



Dang that’s a good looking knife! 😎 I’ve never handled one of Mike’s knives; looks like it’s probably nice and thin behind the edge, and I can always appreciate a nice, deep sharpening choil. :thumbsup:



Paul, you know I always have to say something when I see a #15 Farm Boy. 😁 Great pair! :thumbsup:



That does look like it would handy for storing a lot of knives, Harry. We went to a flea market/swap meet sort of thing this past weekend, and I saw a couple things that could work for knife storage (including some HUGE old card catalog cabinets like @5K Qs was asking about in the Lounge the other day), but I didn’t find anything that was quite was I was looking for to expand my own storage.

I’ve been carrying this pair for over a week now. Probably about time to make a change, but they’ve worked well together. The sheepsfoot has done a lot of small tasks, and the Bull Buster has mostly been on apple duty. We took the kids to an apple orchard weekend before last and came back with a bunch of Honeycrisps. Scout likes her apples sliced, while Eleanor (like myself) prefers to just go for it.

Here’s another tasty treat from the apple orchard last week. They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but I’m not sure how a bucket of fried cheese curds affects that. 😉 (We also had apple fritters.) 😁

The lead is softer than a normal HB #2, which makes for smoother writing with less pressure. I suppose one could get an art pencil for a bit less and have a similar experience, but art pencils may not some with the eraser. I’ve not been disappointed with the price and I’ve still not used up the box I have. I also like the nicer Staedler pencils without an eraser, which I put in a pencil holder with a knurled barrel at the writing end. They are also smooth writing but not quite as dark as the Blackwings since they are normal #2 hardness.
