Nice pics, Johnny! How you liking the Bull Buster?!



I thought engineers drove trains - well, I guess you could move quite a bit of dirt with a train. Makes sense, I guess.

Choo-choo! 🚂 All aboard!

🤣



As a Florida native, I can testify that this is true. 🌀

I believe there were four.
Colonial also had government contracts for various knives during the war era into at least Vietnam.
Western was one of the manufacturers that made the issue "Demo" knife in the 1970s. I still have the one issued to me by the Army Reserves in 1974/1975. The Western does not have the year on the tang.
 
International Knife of the Week is an all-metal Mikov from the Czech Republic (thanks, Tom). It has an anchor on the bolster, a shackle, and a linerlock.

Locking Knife of the Week is a Rough Rider smooth tobacco bone full-sized lockback trapper (thanks, Todd):

Rain out for today. Inside photo will need to suffice. Today’s 34 companion is the 5OT. Thanks to Chris 321Bandaid 321Bandaid for making sure I didn’t traipse through life not understanding the goodness of a Schrade 5OT. Annnnd, not every 5OT gets a cool custom burlap set of pants…but I got hooked up 👊🏼. Thanks buddy.

Help me find a thread.

Yesterday I was reading a thread that had a video of how to center a blade, I got sidetracked and now I can't find it . 😯

I’m not talking about the Demolition knives.
I was referring to the knife he pictured, the jigged bone Easy Open Two Blade Jack known as the Navy Utility Jack made during WWII. I only know of the three I mentioned, but I should have said “AS FAR AS I KNOW” to be safe.😉

I have the Camillus and the PAL, but never pursued the Imperial simply because I am not very active in pursuing new knives. 71FD7D97-0529-43ED-880A-ABAC4735AE81.jpeg

A couple of my favorite patterns today, large Jack and TL-29, both from Camillus Cutlery Co.

Radar shows rain coming this afternoon (although nowhere near what some of you are enjoying), and at least a week of warm-up means I need to keep a close eye on my sump pump.
Check out the mess left by the freeloading birds. They have consumed around fifty pounds of black oil sunflower seeds in the past month.6368E38C-EA3C-4B2E-A816-A93DE82EA669.jpegThat is mostly empty shells, but there are enough whole seeds that get spilled that there are usually mourning doves gleaning on the ground.
