No doubt those two beefy beauties butchered the boxes my friend!

Thanks Jack!!! They did a great job getting through the first assault, tired but relatively unscathed!

ave a great day everyone Carrying my Albers Lambsfoot again, together with something by Tod Cutler for Random Tuesday

Another mighty fine Lambsfoot and Fixed Blade pairing, Jack; both are beauties, but the Tod Cutler is quite the work of art!

I love those tip bolsters, Bob. Just don’t see them much any more.

Man-Oh-Man !! Took the mounting hardware for the front-loader (winch, support arms, mounting plates, etc.) off our garden tractor yesterday and am suffering this morning. I didn't have an air compressor in the shed we keep it in so, I did it all with hand tools (wrenches, sockets, ratchets, screwdrivers, etc.) Big mistake for me at my age (going on eighty in August) and not in ship-shape shape. Sore and stiff is the phrase today. Took me three and a half hours when just a couple/three years ago (pre jaw surgery) I'd have been able to do it in an hour and a half easily. We were going to town today for lunch and grocery shopping but in the words of one of my all time favorites "Amy Winehouse"; "I Won't Go - No, No, No,"!!! I'm gonna carry this Ebony standard Lambfoot to chicken eye and coon finger today while I'm sitting in my recliner and doing absolutely nothing. Coffee and a cinnamon roll for breakfast.

I gotta say I’m surprised Amy Winehouse is on your playlist Ed. I hope you can rest up this week.

They still make Stroh's? Haven't had one in about 40 years!

Fire-brewed Stroh's was one of my go-to beers 50 years ago!
But, like Vince, I probably haven't had one in 40 years.

...

Thanks. No obvious fracture. Still making a little more progress each day, so we'll watch and see how things go.

This weeks pocket and belt stuff.

Good to hear that nothing seems to be broken; best wishes for continued recovery!
Impressive group of knives for the week!

Thanks Gary, since there was so little else worth picking up, I brought a few coins and sea-shells back from my recent trip to Bulgaria
...

Have a great week folks

Bulgarian seashells! Who'da thunk it?
Attractive rare pair of Barlows!

Carried the gator today, the Yeti is todays mail call.

Congrats on your new Yeti; notable pair of 88s!

Thank you to @bigfish64 and for the amazing deal and Jakeywax31 for the assist I was able to score a bunny. Took it out the tube ran it over the leather and in the pocket it went. View attachment 2209088...
Thanks again fellas

Congrats on your new Bunny Knife, and kudos to the gents who helped make it happen!
(I'm surprised you could buy a new knife AND grapes! Grapes are very expensive these days at the grocery store at which I shop. )

Haha! That actually does happen from time to time, which is why we go early in the morning before it gets crowded. Of course I always have to watch out so I don’t get hit by my son.
...

Bart, sounds like you and your son are wise beyond your years!

That venerable Boker pen knife is very cool, Bob, with its tip bolsters and delectable bone!

It was a small but serious fitting issue that showed up in use with lateral blade play. Stephane at Knives of France {shameless plug} exchanged it no problem, and I trust Sabot took it back no problem.

It is a well planned and built knife, but is not for those who can't stand to see light by a backspring. The small blade thunks open nicely, but much of its walk is stiff and it needs to be pushed closed. I'll be interested to see if it loosens up over time, but I don't mind if it doesn't.
I've sprayed it well with PB Blaster, followed by gun oil. Then I plunged it in microwaved vinegar to get a thorough, light patina started. (Even the bolsters are carbon steel, though I'm not sure about the springs.) Then a good wash in soft water and dish detergent, then 3-in-1 oil. (There's no oiling principle at work there; there's just gun oil on the workbench and 3-in-1 in the kitchen.)
I'll show it off at the farm Wednesday.

Thanks for the info on the knife and your "prep routine".
I'm of the opinion that a little space between liners and backsprings is a desirable rust-fighting feature that allows any water that gets into the blade well to drain away.

Yes the shield is gone. There is also a very fine crack running through the handle where the shield should be and various gouges and a couple of small chumks gone. Somebody rode it hard. I fished it out of the bay for 30 bucks. Cleaned it up (a lot) and its got decent action with a solid lock up. A big plus, unlike a Case I recently posted in the Case thread, is that it's not, "Too pretty to use"

Thanks for the mini-review of your CS Pinch, Mike.

A gift from @Angry Waiter and a long overdue post of this gorgeous SAK. Thanks Pete.
View attachment 2209494

Congrats on the resplendent red Alox SAK, Todd, and plaudits to Pete for his generosity!

It's an old sprinkler pipe that ran underground next to the walkway. After jackhammering up the walkway, running the sod cutter to remove the lawn, and rototilling the dirt that remains, that pipe is exposed (and broken in several spots). We're doing entirely different irrigation, so we aren't mourning the damage to that pipe too hard.
...

Thanks for the reply. I figured that a pipe buried so shallowly was unlikely to be residential water or gas line, but what do I know about how they do things out west??

Thanks David

LOL! Just a big weed Gary! Thank you my friend

Sounds like a kids' book, Jack: Big Rose and the Big Weed.
