Hope the storms passed without incident. Please tell me about the beverage

The storms weren’t too bad here, fortunately. Thank you.

The Hazelnut KBS is from my favorite craft beer company, Founders. It’s a seasonal offering of a hazelnut and coffee flavored imperial stout. I’m not a craft beer expert by any means, but I’ve tried several and this is one of my favorites. I like just about everything this brewery puts out.

Some sunny yellow for a gray and gloomy morning in Northeast PA. I love my Buck knives, and the Camillus Yello-Jaket for my watch pocket!

Fine burnt stag Paul !

I'm feeling whimsical today.

Whimsical or glowing ?

Yes!

Actually, I'm feeling so whimsically glowing, I just ordered a Case Teardrop in "Black Sea Dichrolam". (no fooling) It looks a lot like the old Christmas Tree Celluloid, so I'll be flashy as well.

Dandy duo; I really like the looks of that Barlow with curved handle! I don't think I'm familiar with a bolster lock - how does that operate?

- GT

Thanks GT! One of my favorites and Iove the jigging; I don’t carry it too much because I loose small knives too often (I usually find them…).

I think the member I got this from called it a bolster lock though the little info sheet doesn’t really give the mechanism a name. Basically there is an additional liner on one side that pivots against the main liner - so the entire mark? side of the handle rotate clockwise a bit to disengage the lock. It’s pretty neat although because of the mechanism it doesn’t have any walk and talk, and it’s an extremely weak lock (not that I care because it’s just cool). If anyone else has this little guy and knows more, or can explain better, do chime in!

Another beautiful day here in the City by the Bay . Making my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Along for the ride is the Harvey Special and a little Buck.

Have the #86 and #15 with me. The warm rain we’ve had the past couple days has really started to green the woods up. It won’t be long before the morels are out. I found this cedar apple rust at the edge of the woods on a cedar tree.

Solo with the little ones over spring break while the Mrs is in India - If only she could bring back a knife!

Did an overhaul on the front and back yards yesterday. Fill up a dumpster with junk, trash, and yard waste. The 87 is getting a nice patina on the main blade - mainly from all the food prep.

Have wonderful Saturday everyone.

Very nice ! So is that similar to a liner lock?
Very intriguing lock mechanism I’ve never seen anything like it .

Not quite though I’ve seen bolster locks in other various ways that are. I’ve think some that are called a bolster lock and it’s simply a liner lock at the bolster; RR makes a bolster lock line that is essentially a frame lock but using a cut out portion of the bolster.

This is one different than any other I’ve seen, which is why I wanted it lol. maybe there is no name for it?

Really enjoying the Gunstock. Can’t wait to find some time to sit down and polish out the Micarta and make the depth of the burlap really pop.
