I agree 100% 👍
I've been passing mine over most days only because I feel like I should carry others that have been neglected. No more!

Two sweet slicers that are both designed in England and made in the USA, certainly a wonderful pairing! 😃;)👍👍

Thanks Todd, that Eisenhower sure is smart looking. You picked a winner.

That one looks like it has put in some work, Pete. Sawcut on that is much better than most of what we have seen lately from them.

Great looking pair, Dan. :thumbsup:

Thanks Jeremy! 2 of my favorites.
 




Men of England, heirs of Glory,
Heroes of unwritten story,
Nurslings of one mighty Mother,
Hopes of her, and one another!

What is Freedom? Ye can tell
That which Slavery is too well,
For its very name has grown
To an echo of your own

Let a vast assembly be,
And with great solemnity
Declare with measured words, that ye
Are, as God has made ye, free.

The old laws of England—they
Whose reverend heads with age are grey,
Children of a wiser day;
And whose solemn voice must be
Thine own echo—Liberty!

Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth, like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!





















When I see a lion which is not to often in England I think of Shelley 😆

Adapt and survive I used a sock on my right hand as the cast stopped me wearing gloves (that and the swelling and the pain).

I spent 5 minutes just watching this squirrel feeding he turned to face a tree for his escape route. but was happy as long as I didnt advance.

I like this old knife its black but in the sun the handle looks golden brown at times.

Case Peabody Coal Co. Trapper and Camillus TL-29 today.View attachment 2049265View attachment 2049266
This TL-29 is unique among the ones I have. It comes from early after their switchover to synthetic from cocobolo. The forward placement of the shackle pin, and fully finished back are the clues of that. But what puzzles me is the handle material. It looks to me like the Bakelight invented as an electrical insulator and used by Leo Fender on his Telecasters from the fifties.View attachment 2049267 I bought a sheet of it when I built a Tele copy, and could swear this knife’s scales are Bakelight. They are definitely unlike all of the other black handled Linesman knives in my cigar box.
But in looking into it, I can find no evidence that Camillus used Bakelight. It could have been re-handled, but sure doesn’t look like it. Puzzling. 🧐

They certainly used something very much like Bakelight if not not BL itself in the early fifties before the switch to delrin. I had a Barlow with covers like that.

Having ended the experiment and going back to my sinfull ways as an incurable knife knut, I have my daily rotation with me. In addition to my ever present Wenger SI in its belt pouch with the LED light, I have my old yellow peanut back in my right pocket. My classic is back on my keyring, and I feel like all is back as it should be. And in memory of my dear old Uncle Paul, I even tucked a very old Christy knife in my tobacco pouch, just in case.

What are you guys carrying today?

First Case … new to me. Liked the looks of this one a lot. Main blade is pretty darned thin … after some sharpening, cuts very nicely.

Rob, that must have been a lot more scary than those critters you've been spotting in knife handles!! :eek:o_O
Glad to hear there were no injuries, and not massive property damage.

I don't know how old you are, but I'm guessing you're not a much springier chicken than I am, so maybe you remember the Good Friday 1974 "super outbreak" of more than 100 tornadoes in 24 hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Super_Outbreak
Something like 47 deaths in Indiana (it was the first year I lived in Lafayette IN while attending Purdue) and 71 deaths in Kentucky. One tornado first touched down a little northwest of Lafayette and stayed on the ground for over 100 miles, heading northeast. I rode my bicycle home from Purdue that afternoon after classes were cancelled, and later heard that while I was pedaling up the hill to my apartment, there was a slight earthquake felt in town. I didn't feel it on my bike. And searching Google recently produced no evidence of an earthquake near Lafayette that day. So maybe it was too weak to "record for posterity" other than in the memories of people who noticed some shaking.

The 1974 outbreak remains vivid in my mind GT. It was the day before I turned twenty.
I watched a violent one from my parent's back porch, as my mother was screaming at me to get to the basement. Just as I was opening the back door to comply, it went back up in the sky and disappeared. Not before it had severely damaged 60 homes though. 🌪️ :(
