This Buck Stag 303 has been hole up entirely too long in the knife roll. Today seemed like a good day to let it breath for a few days. This is a used knife that came to me in near-mint condition a few years back; I immediately put it to work on a daily basis for a spell. Although the date code shows 2006 as the year of manufacture, according to Joe H. at Buck Knives, this knife was not listed until the 2007 catalog. That was an interesting tidbit of information that took some investigation on my part to procure. He said that was common procedure, to use parts in stock to prepare for the upcoming catalog.

I love the hollow ground blades, and the palm swell on that Stag is second to none. It really is a beautiful knife. What looks like a crack in the scale is just natural coloration.

The TL-29 saga continues
Note, this potato has been a potato for a loooong time

I even got the screwdriver blade stuck in there at the same time
Work smarter not harder

Also I am in Mississippi, so I gotta get a real good patina going by spring

My carries today.
Good morning everyone. This coin and I were thrown into this world at the same time. It has survived much better than me!View attachment 2003767

Cool birth year coin, Bob! You and I are sort of a "twin prime birth pair." Twin primes are prime numbers that differ by 2 (like 29 and 31, or 41 and 43), and our birth years, 1949 and 1951, are twin primes. (The only other recent ones are 1931 and 1933, and 1997 and 1999.) I don't have a birth year coin for 1951.

Yep. Holub Industries from Sycamore. Electrical supply, if I’m not mistaken.
Probably made for them, though, similar to how Klein and Son, Chicago, another electrical supply house, had theirs made by the big guys…
...

Didn't realize Holub was electrical supply. I just thought they were a now-defunct Midwest cutlery maker.

The ales for medicinal purposes only, Gary. I think I'd have to drink two or three if I had to grade exams all day.

Medicinal purposes, eh? I wonder if my doc would give me a note?

Using a re-cycled photo that I took last summer . Later the knife fell on concrete and the Shield fell off . This morning I finally super glued it back on . It is now in my RF Pocket . Case Saddlehorn DB61100 made in 1991 for NKCA . Serial Number L1298 OUT OF 4000 made . I looked off and on for this sized Saddlehorns for a number of years . Saddlehorns are comfortable to use but these bigger ones are much more comfortable for me than the shorter ones .

These are my first Saddlehorns and they are the shorter 3 & 1/2 " versions which I have carried but no longer will . Model T.B. 62110

Good-looking pattern, Harry! I've never handled a saddle horn pattern of any size, but the shape looks like something I'd enjoy.

It's been a long long day, 16" of snow and another 6"-9" expected over night, then another 3"-4" for Friday We shoveled sidewalks, driveways, decks and then dug out trucks at our store. Bless our city crew as there is no finer!!! Started at 5:00am and we wrapped up about 2 hrs ago. All you hear through town are the beep beep beep of Bobcats reversing as well as city trucks. My neighbor tried to make it through to the end of the street at about 5:30am with no luck and got majorly hung up, we shoveled to no avail so out came my Husqvarna snowblower and life got easier.
...

Don't envy you, Paul. We had 24" of snow over 3 days a month ago, and I didn't enjoy the shoveling very much (especially the way the wet snow stuck to my shovel when I tried to throw the snow over the fence). But the ground was yet frozen, so it was melting from the bottom up, and I think "compressing" from the top down, so the snow depth never got more than about 11-12 inches. (Just got another 13+ inches over the past two days, and I didn't really enjoy all the shoveling this time either.)
I saw that the FCS football championship will be SDSU vs NDSU. Is that quite a rivalry??

I spent my Wednesday with these two fragrant French slicers.

Très belle paire, JJ!

One of these for Thursday ... or maybe something else

Look like good options for Black Friday, too!

‘70s Case pen knife today

I always admire that one when you post it, Bart!

...

Speaking of knives, these jacks again. View attachment 2016976

That was a fine pair for Wooden Wednesday, Jeff, and I thought you might carry them through to Black Friday, especially when I saw they stayed for Thursday. But then you went sunny yellow for Friday IIRC.

PAL Jack and a Coast Cutco Stockman and heavy wet snow here as well .

Nice pair, Steve, especially the stockman IMHO!

Nice seasonal photo, Rob!

Thanks Rufus1949 . It's true, although I quit Scouts in the 6th grade when we moved to the city. I went to a meeting and they were *inside*, gluing glitter on things Wasn't smart enough to shop around for better troops.

Thank you Jeff, I dig those scales too they really class up a Levi's watch pocket. I am no longer ashamed to show the SAK that is with me most days!
Gotta be good to the Rents, you owe em everything no? I lucked out in the parent lottery so I try to be attentive. Actually left my "Ricnor" labeled TL-29 over there last week because Dad has rather suspiciously misplaced the Benchmade I bought him years back. He's getting a slipjoint for Xmas and I'm getting my Electrician's jack back!

That SAK is intriguing! I'm guessing it's customized. What did it start life as??

A couple of 1930s thrifty Imperial Hammer Brand totes for Thursday.

JJ, with your dual Hammer Brands, you're like John Henry, a steel-drivin' man!

...

Hope everyone has had a good week, and that you're looking forward to the weekend Carrying a big bagpipe ebony Lamb, and an Old Friend

Top-flight pair, Jack! I especially like the smooth profile of that Buck.

Taking the 59 with me to a routine periodontist appointment this morning.

Nice shot, Mike. I have a spear main Rough Rider whittler that I really like; good to see GEC jump on that bandwagon!

Good song! A few years back, I had too much time on my hands and made a post here in which I commented on a bunch of knives using lyrics from Stones' songs.

Thanks, its basically just torched then I randomly cut a shallow pattern into it. I also inlet a piece of copper into the butt end to attach the lanyard.

When I was at your site around Black Friday, I read about that intriguing pattern, but decided it would not be the first knife I ordered from there.

Attractive canoe! Is that full size, or a small canoe? (I have a green bone small canoe from H&R.)

Very interesting Gary...I will try to live up to my end of our twin years.
You had a busy day of catching up.
Enjoy the rest of your day.

Gary, final totals were in excess of 24" and first was freezing rain and the snow had a very high moisture content...certainly tired of removing snow and a HUGE rivalry so it will be a very intense Championship game

Great character in that 56 Will.
Not so much in those shriveled up old grapes that are soon to be raisins.


Well your usual insults about my vegetation and culinary backdrops... accidentally caused you to be right on both counts I'm a big fruit eater, but it does run through you a fair bit... any grapes that I have left over DO get turned into raisins and these were en route to being hung up to dry. They're excellent, sweet & chewy, why waste 'em?

Actually, raisins are just grapes with heavy patina

 

[AZGabe]

Definitely agree with the etching removal.

Hubertus and Henckels today

Lot to like in that Hubertus Springer, some years ago you could come across such things in Germany quite easily, days long gone. Very appealing wintertime shot too.
