Happy Saturday, Porchenburghers!

I'm carrying my Stockyard Whittler for at least through the weekend.
I just can't think of a blade combination that I like better. It's the one that I keep coming back to and carry the most often. Maybe I should pass on this years forum knife and put funds toward picking up a spare. 🤔

Better do it now while you still know where the shield is…
Ask me why 🙁

What shield?

Anyway, as long as Zippo doesn't sell Case, Case will send me a matching shield for free.
But this one won't get lost; I feel it in my bones.

This Northwoods was sitting in my mailbox and I am once again gobsmacked by the generosity on the porch. A really awesome gift from JonMcD JonMcD . What a thoughtful and amazing gift, my friend. Thank you, Jon.

Riding alongside the Heritage Jack is the K'roo lambsfoot that was gifted to me by the King of K'roo Rufus1949 Rufus1949 .

I am a lucky guy. Thanks fellas. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Dextar, yes it could be done, but it’s not something I would advise unless you’ve got the right tools.
When a cutler grinds a blade, he’s probably using a really good vertical belt sander with the correct platens and rests. The platen is a plate behind the belt that is shaped for the type of grind ~ flat for a flat grind, convex for a concave grind, etc. And the blade rest, along with a very steady and skilled hand guides the blade, keeping it dead steady and he guides it into the belt. After using coarser grit belts, they would move to finer and finer levels of grit. Each one removes the grind marks from the previous grit. They stop at the desired level of polish. In your knife’s case, being a utility, or working knife, it did not receive that polishing from consecutive finer and finer grits. It’s intentional because it was made for garden work as opposed to the finer polish a “pretty” knife would get.

If you use it to harvest mushrooms and various vegetables out of the garden, or prune plants, it will develope a pleasing and attractive patina. Just don’t leave residue on it that could cause rust, and wipe it down with a drop of mineral oil (food safe) when you put it away.

Hi Dylan! I have one in linen, and one in canvas, and I like them both. To help me remember which is which, I’ve posed one on my linen shirt, and the other on a canvas backpack. Wait. Do I have this right?

Hi Jeff! My only gripe with GEC’s linen is that it is a bit plastic-like for my tastes. It’s as if they used a lot of resin or epoxy and not enough fibers. I do like canvas micarta though and that’s where I feel the material starts to really show its merits. Plus, as you mentioned, it can take on an excellent patina.


I’m working with these two today.

Good to know! 👍Looks different than the online pictures (as usual). Yes, I immediately referenced the GEC almanac! 😁
I've been chasing the perfect shade of "old red bone", but I'm quite certain it's that gorgeous GEC maroonish-chestnutty-goodness I've been after all along.
The Case mahogany isn't bad. May give the Case chestnut bone a go??
Online pictures... Pffft.

I have a funny feeling there will be a few LNw/lint "old red bones" hitting the exchange shortly. 🙄
