Greg, that is nice bone on the Case. I've never been a fan of the clip blade used on the Mini-Trapper; wish it was a more normal clip with a more gradual belly than having all the belly right at the tip.

I agree with your thoughts on the clip blade shape, Jeff. I also wish the secondary spay blade wasn't full length as the main blade is. For what ever reason a shorter secondary blade on a two blade jack, whether lambs foot, pen, spay, etc appeals to my taste more.

Now I see why you left on your Thanksgiving trip with so few pocket knives. You had a little of what I call
“ Walkin’ Around Money”!

It is indeed a sunny Tuesday. But I’m hoping we get a thaw out tomorrow, so it melts off this white crap. I need to put some stuff away before winter really sets in!

😁 Yes indeed but the walking around money is done gone now. 😁 Took the grandson to the skate shop for his Christmas present and his sister to the Lego store for hers while there. I can't wait to see the Lego Hogwarts Castle assembled, should take up quite a bit of space on the dining room table considering the size of the box it came in. She's 17 yrs
old now with pretty severe autism and the legos are something she really loves doing. ❤️

You, my friend, better get to getting those outside things put away. You don't wanna end up in the doghouse in this cold. ;)

I feel like getting a plate and drawing up a chair :D

Care to explain what those sweet pies are to a non-American ? Red one looks very interesting....

I think a Traditional pocket-knife compliments any meal table too :thumbsup:

We had Pumpkin, Cherry, crumb-top Apple, Coconut Cream, Chocolate Cream... some not pictured there. My favorites were cherry and coconut... didn't try them all. Pumpkin and Apple are pretty typical dessert pies for Thanksgiving... we actually had three Ausies there this year and they had some "meat pies" bought for them... not sure if those are dessert, but I think they are like our meat pies - a main or dinner item. Turkey was good this year, but you cannot beat a fresh brined ham smoked 10 hours in a drum.

Cherry Pie is fantastic.

Another beautiful day here in the City by the Bay! Taking it easy today and still recovering from visit to the oral surgeon $$$. Take care of your teeth or it will cost you when you get into your golden years! Keeping me company today is the usual lamb and Mini Russell. I’m very pleased with the Russell the fit and finish is excellent, locks up tight and the only thing it needed was a little bit of time on the Sharpmaker. Have a great day folks! 😀

When you ask for something accessible, if you don't get it, you're sad, if you get it, you are momentarily satisfied.
When you ask something unrealistic, if you don't get it , you're not sad, only player can win. But it you get it the joy is incredible.

The moral of the story : NEVER BE REALIST ! 🤣
Thanks so much Charlie @waynorth and @Rhidian

The most excellent Boker is in the front pocket for all normal daily chores.

Work knife of the week in the side pocket is this English made Klein. Ibberson I assume. Very well made work knife for what it is. Smooth, centered, no blade play, well done! Glad to see Klein had sourced products from somewhere other than the far east.

Nice to see your Klein again :) Fascinating piece of cutlery history :cool: I think I have at least one of the Ibberson Action Knife range, and have put a couple into giveaways, including the Pruner model :thumbsup:

It's interesting that the tang stamp that Ibberson's used for some of these knives bears a Patent Number which doesn't relate to this series of knives! :D

A poster on British Blades, many years ago, claimed to have had the idea for this range of knives, which were produced at a time when some of the remaining Sheffield cutlery firms were trying to produce more 'modern-looking', and more cost-effective knives. Eggington, who bought the Ibberson name, still produce these knives.

This well used stockman that belonged to my late grandfather has been finding itself in my pocket here recently as I've been packing around his namesake who is nearly two weeks old now.

Tend to agree Jeff, not so keen on the nail-nick being placed high up the blade either. However, if you get a Wharncliffe version you find that's the blade that gets the use ;)

Travman, quick question, do you have any lousy knives? Just one trash blade?
Kidding, you must have quite the collection. I enjoy your pics.

I do have a 1960’s Case Sodbuster that has been ground down to almost no blade That sits in my tackle box. It is so ugly that I’ve never taken a picture of it. Maybe I’ll show that one soon.
