Case 18 and Buck 112...Happy Friday

https://imgur.com/cB4ijWw

I’ve never handled a Buck 112, hey~ I’m still young. But they really got the proportions just right!

Thank you very much Jeff !!!! Yes , I do carry what ever I feel like and I have a few that I like to choose from . Don't think I have ever seen your Browning . It looks to be a pretty handy knife .

Harry

THE Browning was a gift from my Brother In Law. He’s a “knife guy”, but leans toward the modern side. I often wonder if he ever uses the traditiinals I’ve given him…
I do like this Browning ~ Kemmerer series, made in Taiwan. Big hollow ground blade really cuts. The nylon sheath rides high, which makes it less visible/threatening to carry in public, but one of these days I want to make a proper leather sheath for it. If I find some nice, heavy leather.

Thank you Jack!

Verah nice!

Nice Sowbelly

Thanks Jeff! No the SB Cattle doesn't have coined liners. Here's a pic of the SB Cattle next to a HC Cattle.

Thanks for the pic. I also have a 2nd HC that looks like the one on the left.

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

My Barehead is a Cattaraugus Jeff.

Please stand up for our rights as husbands to clutter.

Ha! It’s like being a musician, Bob. When she asks why I need another guitar, amp, effect pedal, I just say “You knew I played guitar when you married me!”

But I’m happy to report that I got off my butt and went at it yesterday, and she was able to park in the garage last night for the first time in a month

LOL! I'm laid out on the sofa Bob, been awake for about 3 hours out of the past 48

Sounds like fun, hope you have a great time buddy

Nothing to do but look at Blade Forums, right?

No worries, Jeff. Yeah, Paul’s alright.



Nice trio. That KA-BAR reminds me a bit of GEC’s Angus Jack they did a couple years back.




Yeah, it was a bit excessive. I’d had the #77 and #93 the day before, then I thought, “I should grab a Lambsfoot” before I left the house yesterday, and I had dropped the little shop knife in my pocket because I just got it in the mail and I wanted to get some pics of it. I simply forgot to subtract anything as I was adding.



You might be ok. I think most places (including the NHS) now suggest 5 days of quarantine after a positive test. Hopefully you’re still able to go!

Thanks for absolving my sin!
I’ve yet to coon finger the Angus Jack. Does it also have a swayback handle like the Whaler? More importantly, does it sing and ring on the snap like an old Kabar?

Gotta luv the XL stockman.They so handy - and sturdy.
That IXL is a beauty.

My "largest" are only just 4.625 inch closed; 3x Old Timer 858's.
1 vintage 1978~1984
1 BTI Offshore 858OT
1 BTI Offshore 858OTB.

The OTB is my in the pocket carry from Thursday, for at least the rest of the month.
I may stick with it for a week or so into next month, or swap it out for the vintage 858 "sometime" between 10-01 and 10-07.

The offshore 858's have one "improvement" or "upgrade" (IMHO) over the vintage one: NO DARN SWINDON KEYS! They have standard pin construction.

I figure if Swindon Key construction is so great, the current owner of the Schrade family of brands would still use it. Also, since the patent is long expired, other cutlery firms would use it.
Admittedly, I am probably mistooken about that.

Swiden Key doesn’t get much love, but I think it’s a pretty elegant design. But being a ham handed oaf, I didn’t know how to disasemble/re-assemble one, and just yanked it apart, and then drilled it out.

I should’ve stayed in the mountains instead of going to work, it was a week from purgatory!!! I had the Case with me everyday at work. Today I’ll take the Bunny Knife to Costco, the post office and a few other errands.View attachment 2338288

But you have to go to work to be able to afford trips to the mountains!

Large Lamb and a Spring St. Barlow !

It’s funny. In the guitar building rabble, they are obsessed with all black ebony for fingerboards, which is harder and harder to get. Luthier supply houses sell dye to blacken less than pure black ebony. But the ebony Wright put in your Lamb is stunning.

JB lamb.

Nice. What varieties are you growing, my friend?

Can’t wait until you don’t have to buy them, right?

Jess Horn for Beretta by Moki and a perfect example of a Loewenmesser 1147

That is a gorgeous Lion Knife!

A cloudy day here in the City by the Bay! Just got back from my weekly pilgrimage to the grocery store. Along for the ride the usual lamb and little SAK I’m making the transition from baseball to football as the Giants are pretty much done for the year and so is their manager. Oh well there’s always next year . Enjoy your weekend folks!

Very nice!

It rained most of the night and is raining right now. Perfect day to grade the front driveway - gravel and dirt. This stainless GEC 2AB won't mind riding in a damp/wet front pocket. Sausage and whatever else Cindy prepares for breakfast.

Does the gravel pack better when it’s wet? I’m sure there’s less dust.

The others I picked up, at the same time, were even worse The worst thing is that they CAN do better, they just don't care

I'm glad the fall didn't chip or crack the bone Dings and scratches usually polish out OK My AF and Metric spanners were Britool when I was an apprentice mechanic (Whitworth's had been my uncle's, and were older). I had one Snap-on ratchet spanner, lovely tool, but it took me a year to pay for it!

Good one. Mechanics have a love/hate long term relationship with their Snap-On man.

Thanks ! I've read that Martin stopped dying their Ebony boards and bridges again like they did some years back.

Both Martins I have are Hogs so doesn't matter to me

LOL! They're fantastic tools, but I was only taking home about $20 a week I'd kind of forgotten about it until there was a discussion about the tools US mechanics actually use in one of the Catch Bit Show podcasts

Yes Jeff Amir Fleschwund but being wet it allows the gravel/dirt (Class 2 mix) to be shifted/manipulated/broken up in order to grade out any washboarding, pot holes, etc. If I tried that with a dry driveway under the sun, it would be almost impossible to break the surface to work the gravel/dirt.

Ed, did you get your October Knife Magazine? Mine came yesterday and I know you were waiting for your subscription to start.

 

[Amir Fleschwund]

Schrade Saturday? Strat Saturday? Yes, it is.
The last few months, I’ve been keeping a wary eyeon this basketball sized Bald Faced Hornet nest. They built it in a maple hanging over the end of the driveway. My cautious motto was I leave you alone, and you don’t sting us, ok? Kind of dumb, because these guys are territorial, and believe the best defense is a good offense. https://www.pestco.com/9-reasons-to-fear-the-bald-faced-hornet/

Well, a delivery truck pulled in yesterday, and was so tall, it hit the nest and knocked it down. When I went out to get the mail, it was lying right there. Being afraid they’d attack the girls when they went out for their bike ride, I had to kick it over toward the creek. I expected a swarm, but only had one come at me. He tried to get me through my jeans, but I managed to do a frantic jig and get away. Stiil need to knock it all the way into the creek.

I love stripes of brown chocolate on the dark ebony. Not sure why anyone wouldn’t love them!

Yes, that's right, but I certainly wouldn't fancy the journey feeling the way I do now Got my fingers crossed, and hoping to start feeling better soon

For sure. I think the stipulation on the 5 day recommendation is if your symptoms have improved, no fever, etc. Hope the next couple days bring a big improvement!

I’ve yet to coon finger the Angus Jack. Does it also have a swayback handle like the Whaler? More importantly, does it sing and ring on the snap like an old Kabar?

I’ll bring one to Janesville next year. It’s GEC’s #86 pattern, so it’s a straight-sided jack, or a sleeveboard… whatever you’d call the #15, #77, etc. Pretty good snap to ‘em, not the best I’ve seen from GEC, but pretty good.

Hanging out at the house today watching the Razorback game. Same knives in my pocket at yesterday (Albers Lamb, #77 Barlow), but I’m also CE’ing and CF’ing my new chef’s knife from Uinta Knife Co., which I picked up at a small knife local show yesterday.

I’ve been looking for a good chef’s knife for a while, but hadn’t found anything that checked all the boxes for me. This one’s just the right size (8.5”), comfortable handle, easy to hold in a pinch grip, and has a full flat grind that’s thin behind the edge. If I could make one change, I would prefer a carbon steel blade (this one’s AEB-L at 62 HRC), but that wasn’t a deal breaker. These are handmade by a guy here in Minnesota.

Good looking chef's knife Barrett. It seems to afford you several different grips when in use.

Thanks, I think there were 10 standard Lambs, and 10 Big 'Uns, at least half of them had off-centre blades I gave almost all of them away

Thank you Steve, I do feel better than I did yesterday

The Big-un you were kind enough to send me is one of the good ones.
I hope you continue to feel better and better, Jack.

They've been so vague about here, barely anyone knows, and many don't even care I just checked the NHS site, and it's worse than I thought (and I only looked about a week ago)!

Try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people if you or your child have symptoms and either:

• have a high temperature
• do not feel well enough to go to work, school, childcare, or do your normal activities

You can go back to your normal activities when you feel better or do not have a high temperature.

If your child has mild symptoms such as a runny nose, sore throat or mild cough, and they feel well enough, they can go to school or childcare.

You are no longer required to do a COVID-19 rapid lateral flow test if you have symptoms.

But if you or your child have tested positive for COVID-19:

• try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 3 days after the day the test was taken if you or your child are under 18 years old – children and young people tend to be infectious to other people for less time than adults
• try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test if you are 18 years old or over
• avoid meeting people who are more likely to get seriously ill from viruses, such as people with a weakened immune system, for 10 days after the day you took your test

Nice find Barrett I didn't know you were after a Chef's Knife

I hope you continue to feel better and better, Jack.

I'm glad you enjoy carrying it Rachel, and always think it looks good paired with your #66
