Boker USA and Schrade Walden were in my pocket most of the day, along with a Buck 302 that all the perfumes of Araby might not wash clean, and the AG Russell I started with, which might be a bit on the modern side to be shown here.

I used my whiskey eye to take this pic! Hence the tilt.

Your Whiskey Eye had the artistic "Dutch Angle" of these two beauties; an awesome pairing Bob!

Belated birthday greetings to Eleanor! I always enjoy the photos on your girls' birthdays, with their birthday activities and the knife retrospectives. That's quite the climbing set-up you took the girls to; I might even be able to successfully climb some of the routes there. I was especially impressed with the Mount Rushmore wall and how recognizable the presidents' heads were, all via clever shape/placement of the handholds and footholds.
Barrett, I remember your post about Eleanor enjoying videos posted by Michael Chabon early during the pandemic. I'm currently rereading Chabon's Summerland (which I first read almost 20 years ago, and I remember nothing about it!). I didn't remember that it was essentially a kids' book. Has Eleanor ever tried that book? Probably above her current reading level, but she might enjoy having it read to her by you or an audiobook reader.

GT, thanks for the kind words, and sorry for my even more belated reply — apparently I haven’t checked in on this thread in weeks! I won’t be able to catch up on everything, but I’m glad I saw your post.

I was pleasantly surprised by the climbing place. There were way more walls than I had expected, and as you pointed out with the Mount Rushmore wall, some are very creatively done.

I really enjoy Michael Chabon’s writing, and have read most of his stuff, most recently re-reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay for the third (maybe fourth) time. I haven’t read Summerland, but I’ll have to look into it for Eleanor. She’s going into second grade this year, and her reading is coming along pretty well, although sometimes getting her to sit down and do it can be a chore.

Michael Chabon has also written a few picture books for kids, and actually sent a signed copy of this one to Eleanor when it came out a few years ago (this was shortly after the story time videos and him sharing the video Eleanor made on his Instagram).

I’ve been carrying these two the last couple days. I’ll probably change up both tomorrow.

An inmate recently posted a couple of pics with this hat in it. I apologize that I can't remember who it was and searching for the posts has proven futile so...whoever you are, you cost me some money View attachment 2292266

Today's mail call (29 used to open the box).

I’m with you, Greg — love the vibe of those particular S&M Heritage knives.

I had one of the ebony Heritage S&M knives. Shame they stopped making them, they were as close to an original as I’ve seen. There’s an identical one shown in their 1903 catalog.

Thanks, guys. I also wish they had put out more replicas from the old catalog, JB. I got a set of 7of these in three different patterns from a dealer around 2015 I believe, which was a few years after they were released. The set came with a reprint of the 1903 catalog showing many other classic pattern knives in its pages. I've seen a couple other different patterns than the ones I have that Schatt & Morgan replicated from that catalog posted here by other forum members.
I've posted this pic in a couple of other threads here before. Id take a new pic of the set but my phone camera is screwed up the past two weeks and is only working on a rare occasion and today its not cooperating.

Really nice bunch of S&M’s you have. Were two catalogs offered? My senior moments come more frequently now.

Sounds like a plan Jeff Amir Fleschwund . If that ever happens, I'll bring a couple Wagon Wheel Cafe cups with me.

I’m not sure I can wait for you to deliver that coffee mug. We may have to work a trade, and let the mailman do it…
Do you need good TL29?

My first job was working at a tree nursery, so I am pretty comfortable fixing pvc irrigation systems, but I don’t enjoy it. Got started early while it was still cool and luckily it looks like the leak is fixed. I’ll leave it exposed until tomorrow to make sure.

I am fortunate that my water company will reverse any water overage due to a leak (once per year) as long as it is fixed within 3 business days after being notified, so hopefully I won’t be charged for the excess water since I wasn’t notified until yesterday.

This HJ is awesome. My preferred main blade, and I am finding more and more uses for the punch. So far today it has de burred some pvc cuts, and assisted in the “shotgun” of a cold beer after the plumbing was fixed. Back on track for a good Saturday afternoon.

I am not buying many knives lately, but you guys are killing me with this latest Waynorth!

Classy Buck, and I love your name.

Stumbled across a display case of knives at an antique power equipment show (tractors, hit and miss engines, etc.) that has an associated flea market. Scored a Hen & Rooster 314DS Trapper in nice stag, a Remington R12 Trapper, a Case Electrician (1965-69), and a Western 742 Stockman. All require some cleaning and work. The Hen & Rooster will probably get the most pocket time. View attachment 2292708

Man alive, you really scored big!

Carried this one today to take my wife out for Mexican food to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. My old 703 I received in 94 for my birthday from parents. I just felt it fit since also got married in 94.View attachment 2292770

Happy Anniversary, my fellow Illinoian!
