Haven’t felt the urge to turn one one of my GEC’s into a user in a while. Hopefully that changes soon
In the meantime these two will do

Hi Ed! I've been super-busy with life the last several months, and just haven't been able to hang around The Porch as much as I'd like. That Sod Buster Jr. ended up being the only knife I carried until last week - for a vacation at the ocean, I decided my stainless Amber jigged bone Case trapper was a better choice. Since I got back, I've been carrying my HHB, getting psyched up for Yorkshire Day (which is today)! I'll be working on a chip butty for lunch, for sure.So Tyson,Tyson A Wright - how's it coming with that Amber Jigged Bone Sod Buster Jr.? and where the heck have you been? Inquiring minds want to know. Hope you've got the knife sorted to your liking.
Happy Yorkshire Day Gary!Happy Yorkshire Day to those who celebrate it!
Some of my carries this week are coincidentally related (however nearly or distantly) to Yorkshire.
Stag/Horn Knife of the Week is Cracker Jack, my Ashleys' Choice stag lambsfoot, a Jack Black SFO:

I do have some familiarity with ferrets, but I'm not sure they smell much better after a dunking!I appreciate your drinking to my good health, my friend! I can sure use it, like all of us “maturing” folks. But please don’t blame tomorrow’s headache on me.
I’m sure proper YD celebrating requires polished clogs, but I don’t believe you on scrubbing your ferrets. My Granddaughter has one of those, and while it is quite stinky, good luck holding that down for a scrubbing! And ironing your flat cap?!? No!
Since it’s near supper time in Merry Olde Yorkshire, please order a large water, and eat something!
Yay!I picked these out last night…View attachment 2271627

A lot of great information Jeff...I thank you kindly.I doubt your knowledge is lacking, Bob.
From my limited, and often wrong knowledge, I think the steel liners indicate it was made during WWII, when copper and one of it’s alloys, brass, were being rationed for wiring, cartridge casings, and copper projectile cladding. Camillus used brass for liners before and after the war.
Here are the steel liners on the four liner TL-29 you inspired me to carry today.View attachment 2271593
Trivia ~ before the Tool Linesman, pattern 29 nomenclature, they were called SC for Signal Corp, which I think was the first .mil group to get this knife. SC are quite rare.
Thank you, Jack! I hope your Yorkshire Day is reyt good.Happy Yorkshire Day Gary!![]()

I do have some familiarity with ferrets, but I'm not sure they smell much better after a dunking!I'm afraid I didn't do any of those things, but I did put my cap on my head, and walked to the pub on both my feet!
Chip butty for lunch, pie for tea, and a pint along the way
