Edit: I just keep getting drawn back to this knife. Great fit in hand and useful blade.

Just stunning!
I don’t care what goblins or critters one might perceive that is a gorgeous knife.
Thanks for sharing.

 

[Modoc ED]

Headed to town in a bit to mail bills, and lunch at the Brass Rail Restaurant for a French Dip. Actually, the Brass Rail might lose out to the Stock Yards and a chicken fried steak. That being the case I'll tote this Calf Roper Stockman.

This one again today. Some natural patina from cutting moose steak and finished it off with mustard. This O1 seemed to get surface rust fast so I figured a good patina will help protect it

Second COVID19 booster and flu shots for the wife and me today. We’ve both been lucky neither of us has gotten covid or the flu since the beginning of the pandemic . The usual lamb and a barlow for the watch pocket.

Here in Western Massachusetts we're well into Fall. Walking ole Jack daily in the park since retirement let's me carry different knives, but I always have a Sak. Huntsman in nylon pouch on the belt today.

I switched to a pair of Camillus, a 23 Big Jack, and 72 Carpenter’s Whittler. Neither is very pretty, but I don’t worry much about that. The jack dates to the late 1940s, and the whittler I lucked into at the flea market. I have two of each of these patterns ~ it’s a vice of mine.
Here are two of my vices on two of my vises. View attachment 1970656View attachment 1970655

Nice looking knives and vises

 

[Jack Black]

That’s a high quality vise there that your other vice is leaning on!
I have an ancient Ceaftsman end vise from Grandpa that I used on the woodworking bench I built for guitar work. When I get home, I’ll shoot a photo.
It’s well worth the expense of buying an old vise. I once bought a new bench vise at a big box chain store, which was imported from a certain country. It looked very strong, with massive jaws, but when I used it for the first time, attempting to squeeze an Argentinian .45 slide for a better fit on a Colt frame, the vise simply came apart. I discovered that those massive jaws were pot metal with a thin outer hardened layer instead of solid forged steel.

Thank you my friend, I was talking about you within ear-shot of that vice just today Disappointing about that vice I don't know how things are there Jeff, but here you can probably buy a good old vice for less than the cost of one of those dubious modern ones

I often think of myself as being a knifeaholic and that I have accumulated too many knives, but, after seeing one of his posts (cigar boxes and drawers full of knives) the other day, I reasoned that I am not a knifeaholic at all. ........................... Mr. Jack is !

It is all you enablers here!

I then proceeded to order me another knife.

It is rather fitting, for a man known on the other side of the pond, as knife man.

'THE Knife Man' I'll have you know!

Stay at home day today. Sausage and eggs up for breakfast.

Nice Bunny Ed

Going with Mr. May aka, “The Beech Boy“ today after a shaky one yesterday. I was boxing up a knife to mail today when my house began moving back and forth. Having lived in SF for forty years we’ve experienced many quakes. Yesterdays 5.1 was nothing compared to the Loma Prieta in 89 which I experienced while riding my MC. Let me just say, imagine riding a motorcycle at 60MPH on a bowl of jello while it’s being shaken violently.

That is quite a coincidence, I was talking to a friend today, and he has just named his new old British motorbike, 'Beach Boy', something to do with the fact it's a single cylinder 500!

A generous gift which arrived yesterday. Thank you good sir!

I’ve been interested in this 29 pattern and this is a great knife!

My first impressions is that it has a perfect action. I really like how the coping blade and punch snuggle low in the frame while gripping the knife with the clip open. Also, Osage is one of my favorite covers all topped off with hotdog! 3 5/8” frame glory.

Congratulations Pete

Weird Wednesday with an old Pabu leverlock gravity knife

Very cool Chip

Well, I survived my first colonoscopy.

I had nowhere to carry the Imperial during the procedure, of course.

Glad the news is good so far Jer

Wooden Wednesday, hope you all had a good one. View attachment 1970194

Very handsome

Thank you very much for your kind words, Jack!!!

Awesome pairing of your Lambsfoot and Barlow for what appears to be a bit of birdwatching; lovely shots of those cool slicers, too!

Thank you very much my friend, bird watching it was

I grabbed a couple old wood covered electricians for some Wednesday wiring.

Those two wood-covered wonders are a great choice JJ

John, once you get those tires scrubbed in it’s time to get rid of the chicken strips on the rear one! You may want to remove the peg feelers first. Nothing worse than high siding digging a peg into the asphalt while leaned over in the middle of a curve. Trust me I know .
