It's the new Case medium stockman with S35vn steel, must be hard as the blade just went 'snap' and that's all she wrote.
I put in a request to Case to get a replacement, hopefully they can act on it quickly

That's a bummer, Gary! Hope they resolve it quickly!

Thanks, Jack. Can’t go wrong with one of Charlie’s designs.Great choice
Thanks, Todd. I should send you some beads for your slipsLove that photo Bart.
.I always love seeing that one, Paul.This Gem
Derail away. What goes better together than knives and veggies?Thanks, Bart. I can’t help myself, but will try to not derail the Totin thread.
Too much, at least.
Thanks, Jeff. I’m not always a fan of faux aging but I think it works on these knives. The bones were this size when I picked them up. I’ll generally clean up the edges on a grinder/belt sander and drill them out with a drill press or on the lathe. Then I’ll put them on the lathe to shape/sand/polish.
Your wharncliffe trapper looks great.
Kind of you to say, JackBags of character there
And thank you as well, my friend!Beautiful photos Jeff. Those two have such great character.
Fantastic stag James.
Thanks, RL!
I did not know that either. I knew chocolate is bad for them, but I guess I’m glad Manny doesn’t mess with the wild grapes here.
You’ve had a Hard To Top That kind of day, GaryBusy Saturday here! Attended my 6 yr old grandson's pine wood derby race. He won 3rd prize. Very cool!
Headed out to spend a few hours on 9 mile creek for a little trout fishing. Probably going to cast a few lures and see what happens. Gotta take advantage of the beautiful day, sunny and 83F high. Supposed to drop into the 50s and 60s, with rain, for a week.
Along for the adventure.
I’ll bet that was a great experience. I also backpacked some in the late ‘70s, and also bought an Opinel from one of the backpacking specialty catalogs then. Opinels were THE knife to have because of the light weight, I guess.Another beautiful day here in the City by the Bay. Looks like the fog may roll in early today. Just returned from my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Took along the usual lamb and one of my older knives. I’ve had the Opinel since 1979 when it accompanied me on a backpacking trip to the Bridger-Teton Wilderness Area. It was in my pocket while I was sitting atop the Continental Divide.

I’m sorry to hear that, Mitch. Nature can be a mean Mama.Getting to the last of my chillis. The aji chilli are the only 1s I got a lot of this season. Probably due to lack of pollination, no bees. We had a varroa mite outbreak in the region last year, all hives in the red zone destroyed. It is still ongoing.
Beekeepers 'lose everything' as varroa mite cases spread
Nine new cases of varroa mite, an invasive parasite deadly to bees, are identified across the New South Wales Central Coast and Hunter regions.

Yep sadly it came in through Newcastle port, last June.Kind of you to say, Jack
And thank you as well, my friend!
Thanks, RL!

That’s a perceptive thought about the garden. It is work, but the pleasant kind, and I need to keep busy.

I snipped out the last bit from your article ~
“Ms Elkins hoped this ongoing outbreak would make politicians rethink Australia's biosecurity policies and restrict imports into the country.
"If we could stop anybody bringing any kind of crap in here then we could actually increase the prices of all our beautiful food that we grow here," she said.
"Just keep all that damn other stuff out."”
That implies that the mite is an invasive species brought in on imported food.
Just like the Emerald Ash Borer that came here on cheap wood crates and pallets filled with cheap products.
Hope they get it sorted out.
