Let this be my testimony:
There be some fine folks on this porch.

I found a little box in my mailbox yesterday, when all I was expecting was bills, reminders to vote, and bad IRA quarterly reports. View attachment 2371262
Jakeywax31 Jakeywax31 sent this little token of friendship. Not “a” knife. THREE nice knives. Really appreciate it, Paul ~ gonna enjoy having and using these.
Totin two of them today ~ a Queen Country Cousin in amazingly smooth and comfy black delrin. Perfectly centered, and just a really well made little working knife!
The other is my second Schrade 175. And it has a Desert Storm commemorative handle, which again reminds me of my son. I agree, Paul ~ it must be kind of rare, because I’ve never seen one like it. Although he served in Operation Enduring Freedom, it was all part of the same war.
This knife appears factory fresh, so as I use it, I’ll take good care of it.View attachment 2371260View attachment 2371263View attachment 2371259
The end of season tomatoes don’t look too appetizing, unless you’re a fruit fly!
After I dismantled and took out the old upright piano, it left an empty place which Vik filled with an antique walnut sideboard. She’s already fhinking about hosting Thanksgiving dinner, which means I get chores.
And I waited til she left to dump my pockets on it…View attachment 2371261
Do not tell her I posed a guitar on it, ok?

Jeff guitar on the sideboard?
Could be worse when I was a teenager the family went away, eldest brother stayed home. Whe we got back Mum found my brother's surfboard taking pride of place on their bed. You can imagine how that went 😳

Looks like a nice piece of walnut furniture there, Jon.
Kids can be… insightful.🫢
Thanks, Wayne. Nice of you to say so.

Just a cutting board. I make them every now and then for folks. My wife gets first right of refusal. If she likes it, she keeps it on the hooks in her kitchen 😁.

It’s an astonishing 82°F here in Bmore. Took advantage and met up with some of friends at a local farm for all the kiddos to do some pony rides. My oldest two had a blast, youngest not quite ready.

Came back and made a crispy spam and potato bowl with cheese and habanero sour cream.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

I’m telling you right now, crispy spam doesn’t get enough love. Especially if it is diced up in tiny little bacon bits. 👌🏼

#97 today. Here are some pictures of the apple butter boiling. The cooking and canning process took about 20 hours. We used 40 bushels of stamen apples, 60 lbs of granulated cane sugar, clove oil and cinnamon oil; the yield was 108 quarts and 200 pints totaling 52 gallons of apple butter. Everything was donated by the church family leaving a profit of $2588. It’s a whole lot of work but a very rewarding process. Just keeping the old ways alive is worth it. I’ll post pictures of the finished product tomorrow.

It's seen some pocket time. I think it's from 1999.

Not 1999.
Can't be.
The Imperial plant burned down in 1988. Production was moved to Ireland. All Imperial knives were all made offshore after the 1988 fire until the company went belly up in 2004. 1988 to 2004 Imperial tang stamp says "Made in Ireland"
Production never returned to the US.
(Also, some - but not all - Schrade knives were made in England following the 1988 fire, as well.)
Knife has a Providence USA tang stamp. I think it is a pre-1955 tang stamp. On the 1955 to 1988 tang stamp the "Prov. R.I." was vertical on the right edge, with "USA" horizontal under it, if memory serves.

Hey Steve, that's a Case in the pic, not an Imperial.
