Thenks.Nice job drilling and pinning the OT
Those rose croft i believe are owned by a Tennessee company and made in china.i was looking at the exact same one you have.a video on them showed their was a quality to them.
Thanks, Bob!Plus 3 nice carries Jeff.
I see you’ve been winning at golf, and padding your knife budget. Either that, or you’re spending down the kid’s inheritance…
Me too! But my Victorinox Harvester is getting ticked off.
After Mike mentioned it, I noticed the new pin. Did it need repair?
At least the knives are solid workersThank you Steve
Good choice on High Spade Jer, you have an interesting collection
Three solid workers there Jeff
Good-looking pair Steve
Yeah. A group is a “collection”. But saying “I’m a Collector” feels like I’m “putting on airs”.
So you did that macarta on sak.that looks legit.nice work.
The blade had some significant play and it opened with a downward cant which is one issue that I dislike most.After Mike mentioned it, I noticed the new pin. Did it need repair?
Those are great little jacks
Hi Jeff,Thanks, Bob!
I like the blade on your new K’roo. Is it hollow ground?

One little trick to help see if there’s a hinge pin or not is to use a pencil on the bolster. Even a pin that’s so well fitted that you can’t see it, will show up with pencil graphite.
But besides Schrade and Camillus, it could have been made by Ulster.
You are so right, Gary ~ the TL-19/Electeician/Linesman is quite pleasing to my eye as well!
It is quite a rabbit hole trying to find out where some retailers sourced their knives. Not only with TL-29s, but Sears, LL Bean, etc.
See, that’s why I’ve never taken up mushroom foraging ~ except for morels in the Ozarks.
But I do try to innoculate piles of woodchips to break them down into humus. I love sticking my fork into a pile and see it full of mycellium hyphea.
Cool photo there!
Ha! Love that colliquialism, Will.
I am going to use that next time the time is right!
Thanks for taking the time to post your photos, John.
You’ve sparked a memory of my late son.
While his team was way out in the middle of nowhere in Khandahar Province, they met up with an Australian team, and spent some time making friends. One tradition is for guys to trade patches, even medals with allied soldiers. Jason and an Aussie took that one step further, and traded a complete set of BDUs.
I have that Aussie desert camo uniform stored in one of his lockers. I really don’t know what to do with them, maybe a museum would like them.
As good a reason for carrying Schrades as there is
Good luck with your research! But Schrade, Camillus, Ulster, Western… they are all as good as a knife can be.
Nice, Rick!
How’s that for a collector’s dream…find an old box of 12 Russel Barlows!
Like finding a ‘53 Telecaster someone stashed under the bed and forgot about
Safe to say the trails are not from incoming cruise missiles!
You’re not in Kiev, right?
Great collection, Jer! Thanks for the photos.
Woodsman in micarta! Nice upgrade from the standard black.
Classy pruner and barlow Mr.P.
Glad to see you showing your exceptional collection again.
Hope Elijah is doing well.
A couple of stunners Mr P
Have a great week everyone

Hi Jeff,
Yes, this does have a hollow grind, which makes it a great slicer.
Lol....some winning and just a tad of my daughter's inheritance. It is my only vice for now.
I love the incoming 'interceptor' aspect of this picture, straight as an arrow to the heart . But the beautiful lighting that contrasts the bone with the grain of the wood (where no faces do lurk..) and the metals, casts the atmosphere
Absolutely! Have you introduced it to geysers, molten larva, the edge of the volcano? If not Sir, then you are the Scoundrel of your island personifiedYou'd be a scoundrel if you won a knife on BF and did NOT use it!.
I've carried and used this one quite a bit ever since I received it and it's definitely a nice little cutter; fun to use and takes care of most daily tasks. Thanks again
