Good morning....starting to feel like the tropics here...another day of rain.

You reslly scored at the Blade Show with that pair of green Schrades, Paul.

Thanks, Jeff. (I’m Barrett, but thanks all the same.)

Terrific knife trio, Barrett!
What's the story with that post card? Did you find it behind a wall in your house?

Thanks, GT. I found it at an antique store here in MN, browsing through postcards from Arkansas. I bought it for line on the bottom of the front side:

I didn’t read the back of the postcard in the store, so the bit about not having a knife was a pleasant surprise.

Dear Audri,

We are in Texarkana, about 175 mi from Crockett. We just went over what they call the Red River, but it certainly doesn’t fit its name. We keep passing ice cold watermelon signs but we don’t have a knife.

Nora

That green sawcut 5OT is a classic, Barrett!

Thanks, GT. I agree!

Miscellaneous Knife of the Week is a Keen Kutter Office Knife (thanks, Mark):

Cool knife. I’ve seen old Office Knives, and old Keen Kutters, but I don’t know that I’ve seen a Keen Kutter Office Knife.

Jack, Sak [Sportsman] and Turtle

Several years back, I had a lab that I had adopted/rescued fully grown (I think she was 2 or 3 when I got her). She never barked, and I mean never, not once. One day we were out walking and she spotted a turtle in the grass. She stopped and stared at it, just like your pup there, then she let out one single loud bark. First and only time I ever heard it.

Still this one...

Good looking knife, and those photos remind me of some of cigarrodog Harvey’s knife pics.

Ettrick and Albers Thursday

The wood on that Albers… dang!

Somehow I ended up with four knives in my pocket yesterday. I’ll normally go for two. Four is a bit excessive. Probably scale it back today.

Have a nice day

I had to dig out the belt holster for this one! It's an XL, IXL stockman!
4.75" and full of super sharp Sheffield blades. Normal front pocket knife for scale.




The lack of bolsters drops the weight a good bit from the Schrade IXL version. The one shown is just about the same knife but is about .125" shorter. Blade seem to be exactly the same.

I can't find it in a catalog, but would assume it comes from the same general time frame as the ixl schrade. 1980 +/- . Just an assumption. The wood used looks exactly the same as the Schrade version too.

I don't know how much I'll actually use this thing. It's more like a good hunting knife than something I'd use everyday! It will be fun to tote around today at least!

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Thanks Steve

Useful pair Bob

Thanks Mr P, I have barely had the energy to get to the bathroom these past 24 hours, so photos have been a low priority

Thanks for the kind words Jeff

Great pics

Thanks, Jack! How are you today?

I*XL Lamb and a Western Stockpunch

View attachment 2337419

Great bone, and nice selection of blades.

So you don't get to uses the garage at all, because it's all stuffed with things stored for Mrs. Fleschwund's benefit!

Well, except for one shelf full of her seasonal decorations, it’s mine, all mine. But the thing is, when she tells me the washer drain is clogged, again, or I should power wash the deck, or vacuum out her car, and replace a headlighf and air up her tires, or open something I canned for supper…

Sword Brand Cattle Knife and a Unity Lambsfoot

View attachment 2337568

Nice.
Sword Brand and High Carbon both being Camillus knives, I’d like to compare my HC Cattle with your Cattle. Does yours have the “Premium” coined liners?

Tasty looking garden haul. The pepper looks as good as the tomatoes.
Good looking carry today.

Thanks for the coffee info.

You are a brave man.

Thanks, Rick!
And you’re right. Bob Rufus1949 is either brave, or just making that up.

Carried all of these today : The small Stag #55 to the dentist . The TEW Lambfoot and the Stag Pruner to trim the yard . The Grohmann to harvest tomatoes and cucumbers .

Harry

I love to see you carrying and using whatever you feel like, my friend. It makes me feel more normal.

Case Knife of the Week is a 1940-1964 half congress I won in a BF GAW (thanks, Bob):

Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife of the Week is a Schrade muskrat (thanks, Randy):

Great pair, Gary.
I can’t tell for sure, but the scales on the Schrade look like the smooth elk antler I put in one of my Camillus. I like the feel, and how it ages.

Nice photo

Carried this one to the tying bench this evening for a little inspiration as I prepare for cooler weather (and trout). What good is a pheasant feather without a few properly tied pheasant tail nymphs??View attachment 2337818

Fly tying has always seemed like sorcery to me!

Really like the blades in your Winchester, Trav.

You posed your knife on a dinosaur’s eye!

Crap. I called you Paul? Well, he’s an ok guy, so consider it a compliment.

Another somewhat foggy start to the day in the City by the Bay! Half an hour ago it was totally clear and now the marine layer is rolling in. Keeping me company will be the usual lamb and SAK Executive. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Interesting to see one of those lumps Rick

Thanks, Jack! How are you today?

Thanks for asking Jeff, feels like I have the mother of all flus, with a few extras! Mostly, I'm just really knocked out though! Worse thing is the timing, I've been looking forward to next weekend's UK Sharp Show for a year, and sometime over this weekend, I'm going to have to decided whether or not to cancel my hotel, and salvage some of my cash

Dad’s Old Timer. Have a great weekend everyone.

Glad that you have that one Tim

To the first part...it is blind ignorance.

My Barehead is a Cattaraugus Jeff.
