SAK of the Week is a Victorinox Pocket Pal:


Stockman of the Week is by Ganzo (thanks, Dave):

It's basically a Buck 303 clone. Here's a comparison shot of Buck 373, Buck 303, Ganzo (left to right):

Great barlow Todd. The soup bone is the best of the bunch. Good to see you posting again too.

Thanks Bart. I’ve really been enjoying it.

We were processing some cattle today. After we preg checked the cows and ear tagged the calves we pushed them over to the neighbors to weigh the calves. They have a corral made out of tires that works well

and a nice old scale they let us use.

I had the soda scout with me again today

The view from the ranch house.

Good look Soda Scout Bart. Your pictures are fantastic!

It's great to see you here Todd, and congratulations on the neat gifts Gorgeous soupy '86 Barlow

Thanks Jack! I love a cool Zippo especially one with a story. Soup bone is some pretty cool stuff.

Wishing everyone a grand day

You have some sweet soup yourself Jack.

May our friends in Florida be safe.View attachment 2304262

High of 70 predicted, so why not-

Just in case I run across a bottle cap that needs a lift.

Nice pic Jeff !

Thanks, Steve! I always enjoy your well photographed pair of the day

Thanks Amir! A bit similar to your trapper jack except smaller. Still not sure who made it though ...

I’m reasonably sure that Camillus made the High Carbon and Sta-Sharp knives for Sears. Same pattern as my SW, but yours is much older, and a real treasure.

Still goin' through the grinder here, normal for this time of year. Hope to have time for a proper sit on the porch soon, but it may be near winter solstice before this bit o' wicked has rest. Old Barton 100 proof in that cup, if you're into the water of life. Best 15$ I spent this week (no I didn't buy a knife but the week is young).

Well Fred, I think a day off to go fishing would help.
Fine looking pair ~ love the little belt knife.

Thanks for showing us some of the work of real life cattle ranching! Fine looking animals.

Have a nice day

Nice pair as usual, Yann. The fixed blade is just great.

Either will more than cover my needs today. Felt like toting two today

It’s going to be a beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! Giants play later today other than that I have nothing else on the agenda. Keeping me company the usual lamb and Case Trapper.

I got out early this morning and drove out to the bass ponds to puddle around for a little while before coffee with my uncles and grandad. Slid the little beat up boat I leave on the bank in and enjoyed the morning for a little while.

Camillus short line tang stamp 68 Stockman, and Eagle Jack.
I bought the Jack some years ago very cheap. The ugly modifications must have scared off competing bidders. Plus, it’s an obscure brand.
From what I could dig up about Eagle, it was a short lived venture of some cutlers from New York Knife Co. Much of their work involved rehabbing factory seconds from NYKC, and possibly other makers. The original tang stamps were ground off and they re-stamped them with EAGLE PA.
I really like this old jack ~ opens easily, and the thin grind takes a super sharp edge. I have a love for big jackknives, especially cigar shaped jacks. This is the same size as my Camillus 23s, and my GEC 54.
Both easy-open notches were done by a previous owner. One makes sense in getting at the front blade, but the other serves no use at all. To top it off, they were cut very crudely, and kind of ruin the looks of the mark side. Oh well, it’s still a good knife for my uses.
I used to think it was ebony, but now am leaning toward cocobolo.

Two? Those are rookie numbers.

Fine pair, my friend.

Now, that is a fine way to start your day.

You're probably right with Camillus. I found an image of an old Utica peanut that's the closest to mine yet though. But I have no idea if they had a contract with Sears yet when the Craftsman line came to be ... Ain't knife misteries fun?

Raining here in Western Ma. I love the 194OT.
