Tidi Tuesday. I can't believe I overlooked the 29 for so long, makes a wonderful pocket friend.
Hope somebody on the Porch is getting my share of relaxation this week, because I have certainly misplaced it and, like a good knife, it's sad to see it unused.

That's a trio of good-looking and useful knives. Hope things get more relaxed for you soon!

I was scrolling tv channels between Matlock and Perry Mason, and acidentally paused the remote on a comedy channel. Well, actually it was a weather channel squeezed in between real comedy channels
aka: “news”.
They had a map of the US with a big banner (chiron in news show speak) saying “Record Heat Across Country!”
Gotta give credit where it’s due ~ they got it right. It pushed up past 50, and if they bat 1000 today (baseball analogy for those whose thoughts turn to that in the spring), it will get warmer than we keep our thermostat.
In the spring, a young man’s heart turns toward romance. Their Dads and Grandads turn toward watching baseball. Which is odd when there’s perfectly good Andy Griffith and Bonanza reruns on.
Apparently a young squirrel’s heart turns to love, too. Look how this young buck treerat is going all out to breed. He arranged pine cones.View attachment 2511133Back to knives.
There are two kinds of awl/punch blades on my various Vics, Wengers, and camp knives. I like this kind. The point pierces, and the side, on which you have put a razor edge, cuts a precise and neat hole as you twist it in the leather.View attachment 2511134 Essential if your weight changes after buying your favorite belt. You like how I didn’t specify which direction your weight changed?
The other kind is just a fat sewing needle, Good for lacing leather. After you’ve used something else to cut the hole.
I used a small twist drill in the drill press on the rare occasions I’ve made knife sheaths.
They should make an SAK with both types.

I love a good awl, but I've never thought of the backtool awl on a SAK as good for much. GEC's awl's have won me over, so much more versatile than the Swiss Army awls I've carried and used for years. I have put many holes in belts with the backtool awls. They work, albeit clumsily/slowly.

Sorry for my absence, this past week. I've not been too well, and my internet speeds are slower than I am. I had to miss a few pages I'm afraid :( Got my Eric Lamb with me today :) Have a good day folks :thumbsup:
