I think Sarge was hoping there might be a treat in your hand instead of pocket knives.
Can’t eat those, and with no opposable thumbs…
Congrats on the sweet new famiy member. Of course he would call it his pack.

That one is less than impressive, and I certainly struggled in the beginning.

@JonMcD gave me a photography lesson:

Step 1: Find some shade
Step 2: Find some mulch (or rocks like @Crappie71 )
Step 3: Toss knife in mulch
Step 4: Take picture of knife in mulch

Daunting, but it gets easier with time.

TOSS knife?
We carefully and meticulously posed them to provide the most aesthetic angle! 😎

Sometimes the family just has to wait to say the blessing and dig in. We have to photograph our knives!
Tou make your new Forum Knife look quite nice!

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.

You’ve just explained why I sought out the old Schrade 294 Serpentine Jack.
The secondary gets most use, to be honest.

😁 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. ;)

Fun way to play Santa Clause, Greg, and I’ll bet you had as much fun as they did.

I can see Legos, especially the more intricate sets being perfect for her. 🤙
Some of my daughter’s friends in her Adult Day Program are autistic, and I try to interact with them as much as they are willing.

Incredible knife my friend :) :thumbsup:

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.

Congratulations! 😊 Busy? It'll be busy for the next 25 years mate - at least! 🤣;):thumbsup:

He's over here two Bob 🥶 You have two very stylish handwarmers there though buddy :) :thumbsup:

Thanks to Bob @Rufus1949 :) :thumbsup:

These are Bakelite beads not amber. Old Bakelite beads in the komboloi market are more expensive than some sort of amber.
It's funny because for most of people the Bakelite is only plastic. But it's the first polymer ever produced. It revolutionized the industry.
Today what remains ( it's not produced anymore as it was) is used to make jewels because it's heavy and has some beautiful colours.


One is a gift ... from you 🤣

There are still a few sources for Bakelight.
I bought a large sheet of it to replicate the Bakelight pickguards that were used by Fender on their guitars in the 1950s.

Ontario Morta, Case Finn, Ontario fieldcraft (short for bushcraft field).

Always thought the Case Finn was a practical size. I wonder if they still make it?

But don’t you think it’s more Germanic than Finn?

You remind me that I need to fill the antique coal scuttle with fireplace ashes and put them in the garden.

And here's a knife I received in 2023 that will go into the Stag/Horn category of my rotation schedule when I update the schedule; this knife will show up in the schedule's International Knife category, too. Bruckmann pen knife with horn covers (thanks, Bob):

Colonial/Imperial/Schrade Knife this week is a little Imperial serpentine jack that my wife discovered among her possessions almost 10 years ago; she thinks she got it from her father when he got a new knife. It got me reinterested in pocket knives after not carrying one for about 45 years.

Here are some vintage American knives gifted to me LAST year (thanks, Tom) that somehow got overlooked when I was constructing my rotation schedule. (Tom sent me some knives from other countries that ARE in my schedule. o_O)

Here's an Imperial clip/pen toothpick that a BF member kindly offered to sell me (thanks, Jeff):

Another vintage American gift knife that's not made by Imperial, Colonial, or Schrade so it will eventually show up on my schedule as a Miscellaneous Knife - Ideal jack (thanks, Tom):

Wow ~ great pair, Paul!
Would we call that a Nessmuk?
 
Got some snow yesterday and overnight. It's clear now, 28F, and the driveway is plowed.
Headed to the Dermatologists in Skaneateles for a yearly visit, wife and granddaughter in tow. Maybe a late lunch in Skaneateles afterwards. They've got a great pot roast meal at the Sherwood Inn. Got the Livri along for the ride.

17012800879033996945580176919242.jpghow can anyone resist carrying a 31/2" equal end stag handled knife with a clip blade to boot. You can't.do I find myself avoiding people who don't have in their possession a stag handled knife,probably. I think if we are honest with ourselves we would all admit to that.

I don't think so. I see the 3Finn mini for sale by itself, but not the 2Finn, and the larger twin Finn is now a 318.

It never occurred to me, and I don't know about Germanic, particularly, but it doesn't look much like a puukko, now that you mention it, except for its moderate blade length.

I wonder if that big fried fish place near the lake is open in the winter.
