When I took today’s pic I could just see the top of Mt. Davidson. Half an hour later and the fog was rolling over it. Can’t complain the cooling effect is wonderful! Not much on the agenda for today other than the Giants game. Keeping me company will be the usual lamb and Modoc Special. Have a great Sunday folks! 😀

Switched out to the “O’s knife”. Playoffs in July? That’s what it feels like with the Rays right now. O’s are 5-3 on the season so far with TB; worst case if they split this series they’ll still be ahead in the standings though. If they win today and take the series it’ll be big. Let’s go O’s!!

Love this knife too. A nice light yet capable carry.

Thanks Amir! The jigging on the pile side is better than on the mark side. As for the colour, it started out as chestnut bone but I later soaked it in a mixture of rosehip and black tea. Looked ugly at first but with some oil and polishing it turned out quite nice.
 
This old Colonial Knife Co "cigar end" pocket knife belonged to my Father who passed away in 1985 when I was 26. I found this knife in an old cigar box a while back and it was in poor shape. The blades were rusted badly and stuck inside the liners. I spent several hours carefully performing rust removal and cleaning/oiling the knife all by hand. Now the walk and talk is very solid and the old girl is ready to to carried again.

Case knives inducted the greatest knife maker of them all, Tony Bose, into their Hall of Fame. Reese accepted the honor on behalf of his family. I was very proud of Case. They honored Tony well. Only about a dozen people have been so honored since Case began operating in the late 1800’s. Tony was the first one in over 20 years. I managed to buy the Stag Western Trapper from Reese and will be totin’ it for a while. I find Reese’s knives to be indistinguishable from Tony’s except for “R” on the tang stamp!

I intended to comment on these quotes Friday morning, but life intervened. :rolleyes:


We all nuts about Walnuts, Steve (and that's a cool rock under them)! :thumbsup::thumbsup:🤓



Those are some scary dog attack stories, FC & Chief! :eek::thumbsdown: I guess I should be grateful that neither I nor my little dog has gotten hurt in our unfriendly encounters with other dogs, and the only times I've been bitten is a couple of times while walking during the winter when dogs grabbed my hand, but I was wearing heavy cowhide mittens that their teeth didn't get through.
FC, those are a couple of nice pairs of knives you posted! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


I really like your South African toothpick with its intriguing handle material! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Couple of splendid knives in your new/old pairing! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Your red and green whittlers look like Christmas in July, Mike! :thumbsup:;):cool: Have a good trip to and from TN.


That's exactly the kind of "volunteer" onions that we've had in the back yard every spring for the 38 years we've been in our house! :cool::thumbsup::cool: The ones we haven't used yet have those little "bulb clusters" on top right now.


Nice set-up, Vince, and cool gift from ED! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:
Will your Case amber trapper fit in that sheath?


Thanks for the kind words, as always, Jack. :)


Notable pair, Jon; I'm especially enamored with that Winchester stockman! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Congrats on the new Eureka Jack! Outstanding photo, too; the shield on your Tribal Lock and the jigging on your Eureka both look sensational. :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Don't be shy, Bob. 😁 Often when traveling with my wife, she'll say something like, "Look at that beautiful landscaping!" at a property we pass, and I'll say, "Thanks!" I'm willing to take credit where credit isn't due.


Jack, I've thought of many random things on my walks around town, but I've never thought about a sjambok, since I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it! o_O🤓 I looked it up, and it seems to be rather like a riding crop on steroids! I also learned (via Wikipedia - consider the source) that the police in Sheffield were once investigated for purportedly using them on "detainees". The device seems to have Dutch origins (via South Africa), as do I (not via South Africa).


Superb SBJr, LT; I'm glad you enjoyed your trip! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Congrats on the new Mercator (and the Otter sodbuster I saw in some other thread)! :thumbsup::cool::cool:
Is the Mercator the large lockback model, or the smaller slipjoint?


Cool pic of your "improved muskrat" with rainbow! :cool::thumbsup::cool:

Thanks GT! I agree. The Winchester was a kind porch gift and has been my favorite stockman. Love the jigging.
