Mikov makes a great knife, don't they?
I use my Mikov fish knife as a Pocket Watch knife on the off side of a Double Albert watch chain. (with a clasp so it can be taken off the chain for use.)
I do wish they still made this one with a carbon steel blade, though.

M majorpain1 ~ you had me going for a minute there. Figuring that you and your better half had to be about 90 to be celebrating your 70th anniversary.

Well, I’ve been blessed by that ‘ol Porch Generosity again. @Jakeywax31 saw this Case Electrician for sale on another site, messaged to ask if I’d like it, and before I could even answer, he’d bought it for me and had the guy send it to my mailbox.

Case 62031 LHR made in Bradford in 1981. From what I found out, Case LHRs were made by Camillus for Case.
Really stout knife that will get used for sure!
Thank you very much, Paul. I’ll bring it to the Badger Blade Show ~ one month from today! ~ so you can inspect it and see how nice delrin can be!😎View attachment 2506872View attachment 2506873The backsprings are blued to almost black, which looks great with the brass liners.
View attachment 2506874The blades are in great shape. I had to use a magnifying glass to determine if it had ever been sharpened after leaving the factory. Nice to see a 40+ year old work knife that has not been “sharpened” on a bench grinder or concrete sidewalk.
I think later models were in stainless, but this is carbon🤙
A little work on the crock sticks for a good edge, and off we go.

I'm not quite that old but sometimes I feel like it. The original company moved from Hannibal, MO to Rogers, AR in 1954. My Dad worked here from 1956 to 1999. I've been here since 1977 so between us we have 68 of the 70 years covered. There have been several name changes and building additions in that time but we are still here (along with the original building) making sintered tungsten carbide products.
 
I meant to switch these for the phlebotomist this morning, but I mixed them instead. Still no strip search at the exsanguination station, mercifully.

Singing Rock of Ages in the restroom helped me relax enough to produce the other fluid: "...let the water, and the blood...", while raising the spirits of all and sundry.

I would love the gold frame damascus blade fileworked version but it’s bit too pricey for me.
