Forgive my meddling, but something was bugging me aesthetically.

Still using the complete set of Chicago Cutlery that we got as a wedding present 42 years agoView attachment 2351536
Recently bought this beat up Chicago Cutlery off eBay ($10~) with intentions to take time cleaning up the handle (sandpaper & wax) then use the blade to practice sharpening. Mostly because it needed a lot of clean up to remove the abuse, and to hold an edge. Pretty fun project and highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun small project. Featuring final garden carrots of the season.
Best wishes for that knee!Today I drove my daughter across the border to Syracuse, NY where she had a follow up assessment by the surgeon that operated on her injured knee.
She had an unfortunate knee ligament injury while working at camp in Saranac Lake NY.
Good news is that she will make a full recovery with physiotherapy in about 9 months
I was very impressed by the medical facility and by the orthopaedic surgeon. He is one of the best in North America.
On our way back home we stopped at Burger King and I put my BF knife to work on a double whopper NO BUN keto burger

Really nice pair, Trav.
Nice knife, and welcome to The Porch! Stick around.

He deserves the Safety Award Knife:Dont let people borrow your knife.
Water meter guy hit the heat trace after being warned 10 times it was under the insulation. I suppose the knife now has a built in wire stripper.
It's my fault .. I know better than to hand someone my knife. Especially at work.
Same as yesterday, minus a little steel.

You are somewhat correct . It is one that I do have with me when I am out doing work in the yard and flowers . The 2019 Blade Forums knife is probably the closest to being what I consider an EDC . Today I just put these 2 in my pockets for today and when I go outside to plant some Tulip Bulbs I will most likely have the Grohmann Bird & Trout with me too .seems like the Grohmann #1 is your real edc![]()
The best safety award ever! Thanks for the laugh!He deserves the Safety Award Knife:

It's funny you say that, I had kinda thought a lambsfoot but a hawk would be good too. Maybe it'll give me the push I need to actually get a little belt sander! Haha. I've been putting it off, which is also putting off progress on some things i'd like to learn.That’s a real shame.
Here’s what I would do ~ buy another Klein like that for work ( luckily Kleins are easy to find on ebay).
Take your damaged one to your bench grinder and belt sander, with a coffee can of water to keep the steel cool, and turn it into a hawkbill. Draw it out in the blade with a Sharpie.
Fun project.
