Truck is packed with knives and guns…some other stuff too

 

[JJ Cahill]

Thank you JJ, someone has to supervise the cake-cutting

That's a great supervisory position!

Your Case Hunter looks incredible JJ, and I know those MAM knives are super slicey Nice combo buddy

Thank you most kindly, Jack!!! You're right, I've got to avoid being bit by that sharp little fella!

Off out for breakfast with a pal today, and toting my Hartshead Barlow, and Waynorth Black Jack

An outstanding pairing of two magnificent slicers; it's poetic how a Black Jack goes so nicely with a Jack Black creation!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Such a nice photo, JJ!

Thank you very kindly, Jim!!!

not actually totin’ this one, but it just arrived and I thought I’d share …
I generally carry a small Swiss Army knife along with whatever else, and recently started getting interested in some custom and unique SAK variants … and I tripped across this homage to the Lion of Lucerne.
I actually found an all silver one first, ordered it, and then found this one … so …

Wow, that's a awesome SAK Paul! Lucerne is one of my favorite Swiss cities!

I've been toting this Oil Field Jack and a Fixed Blade for Friday.

I'm glad you're well my friend, and hope that Nancy and the boys are too Sorry to hear about your folks having dementia, I hope there is still some periods of clarity

Thanks Jack, Nanc and boys are all good. Nanc had foot surgery a few weeks ago so for now I can run away from her so I've been pretty brave around her of late There are good days for sure and yesterday my dad and I spent two hours just driving around our small town and then a trip north a dozen miles to the local lake where we grew up and it was one of the nicest days spent with dad in years....I am blessed

Nice - is it safe to assume you are a numismatist? I was a collector as a kid …
The reason I felt compelled to reply to your post is that not 15 minutes ago I ran across a 1926 Peace Dollar that I gave to my dad on his 90th birthday (2016) … we lost dad later that same year, and while going through his stuff my sister handed me the dollar … I suspect I will keep it until someone is going through my stuff …
Funny how things work sometimes …

I am Paul and have been for 40+ years. I learned early to recognize the sound of Silver when dropped onto a counter. I love vintage paper also. I love the story of the gifted peace dollar to your dad and now it's back with you. I have gifted my boys a new Silver dollar every Christmas for 20+ years

 

[paulhilborn]

The Peace Dollar is a remarkably beautiful coin, you Americans are lucky to have a coinage with many attractive pieces. There was going to be a centenary Peace Dollar issued by the US Mint in 2021 but it never materialized...
Current Dollars are fine items too and paulhilborn very kindly gave me a Walking Liberty- which is taking a nice patina as silver does.

Will, it did come to fruition...very limited but I had to have it

Finally worked up the gumption to sharpen and carry this Davison, and so very glad I did. What a scalpel! Thought it made a nice contrasting pair with my perpetually filthy Cowbell.

First use, push cuts through masking tape like it's not there, steers well for a hollow grind. Obviously this task required a fancy custom built slipjoint, especially if my wife asks . I want everyone to know I did not pay 29.95 for that old turntable, talked them down to 10$ because I need knife money Happy Thursday Porch friends!

Awesome pair. Love that Davison, it needs to be used

Likely our last boat outing for the season. Had a very relaxing cruise, stopped along the way and visited with some friends. My new 77 user came in handy. Thanks Jeremy sbh06 . View attachment 1977920

Looks like a great way to spend an afternoon, Todd. Some time in my life I would love to live on some water.

Some of the coolest Barlows around.

Thanks, John. It’s one of my few “nice” knives.

I love the horn big ‘un, John. Hope you have a good weekend.

Soda scout and a great sunrise today.

 

[Truggers]

A Camillus Cub Scout knife with a couple of other treasures that I found today….my first oval steel which is made by I.Wilson Ex Sycamore St, Sheffield which under all the gunk has a beautiful rosewood handle. Also a 24 inch extending ruler that doesn’t feel like your standard boxwood - really smooth to the touch and stunning patina. Last shot is the grey Camillus next to a black Imperial.

Have a nice day.

 

[Jack Black]

I’ve had this one with me all day.

That looks very Lambie!

Thanks Jack. Mrs. Bigfish had the sausage, cheese, and wine ready to go when we got home from work. She’s a keeper!

Two nice ones there Jack.

Fantastic Todd, that sounds like the start of a wonderful evening Thank you my friend

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I’m starting mine right now! View attachment 1978947

You're on an ebony kick at the moment!

That's a great supervisory position!

I had to work hard for it!

Thank you most kindly, Jack!!! You're right, I've got to avoid being bit by that sharp little fella!

Definitely JJ! Thank you for your very kind words

I've been toting this Oil Field Jack and a Fixed Blade for Friday.

What a fantastic pairing! Oil Field Jack is a handsome pattern, I should own more tortoiseshell acrylic! I always enjoy seeing that bold and beautiful Kephart-style FB too my friend

Thanks Jack, Nanc and boys are all good. Nanc had foot surgery a few weeks ago so for now I can run away from her so I've been pretty brave around her of late There are good days for sure and yesterday my dad and I spent two hours just driving around our small town and then a trip north a dozen miles to the local lake where we grew up and it was one of the nicest days spent with dad in years....I am blessed

LOL! I hope Nanc is recovering well my friend That's a nice story Paul My mate's dad has suffered with dementia for some years, and finally had to go into a care home about a year ago. Your tale reminded me of similar ones my pal has told me
