GEC 59 will be in my pocket tomorrow as I head to Tennessee. After today, I'll be mostly offline for the next week, or maybe two.
I bought the 59 mostly because it was a splitback and I find the design interesting. I'm liking this one more than I thought I would. Always nice when that happens
Totally post worthy

Two nice stags today Steve.

Different artisans, but both very fine examples of jigged bone.

It’s sweet, Bart! Thanks for the story.
That’s kind of how I got my 1955 Gibson J45. We had just gotten our bonus checks, and my co-worker and fellow guitar nut and I visited the Vintage room at one of the Guitar Centers.
Just good timing ~ we were relatively caught up in bills, and my loving wife agreed that if I didn’t buy it now, I might never get the chance.

Glad you found a good one, Greg!
Sounds like fun.

When you’re eating some factory made version of dinner, put it on a plate, throw away the plastic, and pretend you cooked it yourself!

Thanks, Jeff. Sounds like an awesome vintage guitar. Sometimes you just have to be ready to jump on a deal when it comes up. It helps to have an understanding wife.

I carried my wharncliffe trapper yesterday. Not sure what I’ll carry today.

This Case knife is definitely as well made as any GEC.

I really hope they offer the church glass in more styles. Absolute killer pattern in the light!

Pleasant surprises when I returned home today. This 530411, one of my favorite patterns.

Great pair Mike. The same thing happened to me; bought the split back mainly for the design but it’s actually an excellent carry - the spear is large enough to actually put in some work too.

Safe travels Mike

Thanks, Jack

Case seems to have done a really nice job on the single blade sowbellies. I have two in ebony and agree completely, both are as well made as anything I have

Another foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay! Just returned from my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Along for the ride the usual lamb and SAK Executive. Giants play later and I hope they can find a win!

Single blade Case sowbelly is a great pattern. You want well made? A Texas Jack that’s as hot as the Texas weather.

I know I said I’d go bigger for my weekend chores but the Moki caught my eye. A very sharp useful knife.

I went around to talk bikes with my friend today,as it was raining I went in my car.

He was cleaning his Kawasaki its the same model as mine (he has a bakers dozen of nice bikes) so I put on my Kawasaki cap.

He serves a mean coffee (or maybe its his wife who makes it) as you can see I had mine in a Royal Enfield mug.

I took my Pioneer X and ended up using the awl.

The knife isn't black I used a marker pen on it as it looked boring in silver...


I know the screwdriver is a bit shall we say bright,but it was only £4 from the antique/rummage shop yesterday.

I think it was to encourage woman to do a bit of DIY, as I said to my ex I dont mind cooking if you want to wash my bike for me (it was always a no and I ended up doing both anyway)

Its allready tightened up the handle on my frying pan,I shall leave it in the house for small jobs it will save me going out to the shed.
