Had this on the belt today. View attachment 2307364

That looks like a quality way to end the day.

Have a nice weekend

Love the Trestle Pine and the jigged pen as well!

Another balmy 54° to start the day; will soon ruin it with a round of golf.
Dug this ole Catt equal end ebony out of a drawer.View attachment 2307485

What a cool combo of spear/swedge/matchstrike pull. That would be a cool GEC recreation.

Nice old Catt Bob . Have a great round of golf !

Thanks kindly Steve.

I'm taking my $15 Waterville along shopping for luck.

Happy hunting Jer.

A handsome pairing Bob

Thank you Jack.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programing of Golden Oldies:

The world is spinning correctly again. You picked a good one for today. I may have to dig out a Hibbard, they are hidden treasures.Thank you Rachel.

It is a nice one Jon. Now, GEC just has to take the hint.
Enjoy the weekend .

Got the 38 in the pocket scheduled for some time on the sharpening system today. The sow was just out of the box for a little sunshine.

Had a good rain yesterday and it's raining steady right now. This'll be a good morning to do some grading on the front driveway. The rain has softened the gravel/dirt eliminating sparks and a possible fire in the brush along the driveway. No telling what might crop up so, I'll put my recently acquired battered Buck 112 on my belt in it's battered but still solid, useful, sheath. Cindy's not up yet so what we're having for breakfast is a question.

 

[JonMcD]

Chose some workers today.

Buck 112LT and Sak Sportsman. I like the solid feel of the 112LT more than the slim sometimes. Nice morning. Jack inspected this new mud crossing before proceeding.

Feed store run. Y'all have a nice long weekendView attachment 2307610

When I was a kid, I loved going to the feed store with my granddaddy. Usually meant loading some corn in the truck, buying a couple vapes of hay and having the grind these up,mix with some molasses and bag in 50 pound burlap bags. I can almost smell the sweet feed now. Thanks for reminding me of better times.
Now the trip down memory lane is over, what fowl gave up the feet?

Nice knife but the S&W steals the show. I bet it is fun to drop the hammer on full power 357's

Headed to Packwood Washington today where the entire town turns into a flea market on memorial day weekend and Labor Day weekend. Over the years I found a couple of good buys on some old vintage knives. Taking the scientist, along in case I need to inspect some tang stamps, and I need a magnifying glass.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Old Remington and the '19 today. Have a great day everyone.

Great Remy, Paul. Almost looks like it’s passed through a glennbad procedure…
Or did it come with gorgeous stag???

This is a Northwoods Norfolk pattern. I'm not sure of the year of manufacture. They were quite popular. Here is what it looked like before. I ended up modding it with this amber stag. A vast improvement, IMO.

You don't find many of these out in the wild these days...

There’s a line that anyone who mods knives cross. What was the first valuable knife you ever busted open?

Just curious, because as a rank amateur, I have only modded broken ones, or common ones like TL-29s.
And I don’t mean to imply TL-29s are not valuable

Not up to par with most of the knives I see posted here, but I added (and carried) a Case CV Mini Copperlock in mahogany bone today.
My OCD hasn't accepted it yet, but there's some burgundy in there.
Makes for a decent transition piece, I think? TBD.

Au contraire, those are above par compared to what I usually use.
Post more often!

You’ve got plenty of users I’d love to have, Jeff. We actually just got half a dozen steers back from the butcher but they’re all spoken for. I don’t think I have enough ice packs to ship half a steer anyway.

Really impressive tomato crop, Jeff. Cool that you grow so many different varieties.

Thanks Bob. Everything went smoothly in Oregon. Too bad I didn’t have time to fish the bass pond in the picture yesterday.

Thanks Jack. One of my favorite knives and my favorite bass pond.

I saw that news story. It might take a while one at a time. I actually have a longhorn steer named Sparky that I halter broke years ago. I’ve never tried to put him I my truck though. I’ll see if I have a picture of him.

Yeah, and it would not be cost effective to borrow a reefer box truck and drive all the way out there and back!

Thanks for the kind words, Bart!

Have a nice weekend

Nice leather bound notebook. My son brought one home for me from somewhere in Europe, or the UK. It’s not for everyday things like a shopping list, it demands more thoughtful, timeless entries that are worth revisiting. Quotes, Bible verses…

Wonderful knife. Love the drink glass. Pint Ball jelly jars make wonderful distilled spirits glasses

And for everything else. Our kitchen cabinet is all Ball jars.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programing of Golden Oldies:

HSB been there done that, and is ready for another 80+ years.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

The day after Friday is Schradurday.
293Y, 881Y, and 125OT get the call.

 

[BDubbs]

The usual, with Stella in the background just because she’s awesome. I’ve been contemplating a recover to some kind of black micarta, oak, maybe mesquite? What say you? Do it or heresy and leave alone? I love this knife but natural micarta has to be my least favorite color of all time.

 

[Crappie71]

Just sharpened this #86 and dropped it in my pocket for the first time.

I vote some sort of wood like you said, Mesquite or otherwise. And yes indeed, she is awesome!

It’s going to be a beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! Just returned from my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Along for the ride the usual lamb (Harvey Special) and the always handy little SAK. Lots of sports on tap with the start of the college football and the increasingly fading Giants . Have a great holiday weekend! View attachment 2307850View attachment 2307851

which model SAK is that? Not the manager or signature, those have pens on the other end.
