Jigged Acrylic 59

I don't think I've heard of jigged acrylic before, but that looks good!
Is that an Esquire?

Taking a SAK with me today. I going to have lunch with two of my best friends. And their wire hair dachshund is also a best friend. I used to see him just about every day and loved taking him for walks when we lived next door to each other. He’s old now and is missing a few teeth. But he gets his puppy on when we visit. It going to be a good Wednesday. Found an old picture of Ozzie when he was a young ....

I'm not fluent in dog body language or "eye looks", but to me that look suggests, "Put down the camera and start some serious belly scratching!"

For WW, my sucker rod #86.

That's a memorable jackknife, Jeff!

Walnut Wednesday

Lamb and a Camillus Sword Brand

I'm nuts about your walnuts, Steve!

Here’s a K’roo lambfoot barlow.

You must be proud to have that one, Dan!

Plenty of examples to go around.

I concur with MarbReds on your fine Kroo Ken.

Unforgettable K'roo Coffin Jack, Bob!
That shield reminds me of an episode of the old Bob Newhart Show on TV in which Bob meets Dave Death in the elevator.

Really splendid faux stag Colonial fish knife!!

K & L
Kroo and Lockwood Bros.

Bravo, Bob; almost halfway through the alphabet without breaking a sweat!

Thanks Gary. It was part of @mrknife’s GAW. Score!

Score, indeed! That's a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the ninth when you're down by 3 runs!

Case XX's from the 1960's and 70's for Thursday.

Stellar stag on your vintage Cases, Rob! That canoe has me dreaming of The Land of Sky Blue Waters!

Thanks, David!

Thank you, GT!
Your knife is a classic pattern as far as I’m concerned. My first memories/awareness of knives are of Grandpa sharpening his Camillus Silver Sword Easy Open Jack, and patiently answering my stream of questions.
Regarding the figured walnut on my TEW, it’s a piece of scrap off of an exhibition grade gun stock picked up off the floor at what used to be possibly the finest custom gun stock mill in the country ~ Bishop’s in Warsaw, Mo.
Many thousands of ‘03 Springfields, and other GI bringbacks were sporterized using fancy walnut Bishop’s stocks, I guess the company’s fortunes faded as the supply of those guns dried up.

It’s great that you get to do that, and I’m sure he likes spending time with his Grandson.

I have been spending a lot of time, and the required driving time, with my 90 yr old Dad. He’s been in the hospital since the Sunday before Easter. Went in with what turned out to be covid, and that kicked off a dementia like state. My daughter in law who is the head of occupational therapy at a large therapy hospital, told me “it sounds like Metabolic Encephalopathy” on his third day in the hospital. I even wrote it on the board in his room with a question mark. Now, almost a month later, that is what they are talking about.
We are beginning the search for a facility that can take him, because he’s in no condition for Mom to have him back home.
We’ll be including the VA in the search, too.

I suppose I appreciate your spending time with your grandpa all the more because of that.
And back on topic, Swiss Army Knives are always in good taste

Jeff, thanks for the stories about your grandpa's knife and about the background of the walnut on your lambsfoot!
I hope you can find a good spot for your dad to get the care he needs.

Boker Jack

Your Boker's colorful fake stag covers look great!

Thanks Gary. The Coffin is a favorite of mine for it's form, fit and function.
I miss Bob's dead pan delivery.

I may struggle with the technicalities of one letter.

That one is an SFA 59 Whittler picked up at the Rendezvous. It is the first time GEC did jigged acrylic. they also did jigged acrylic recent run of 34’s.

 

[Ironbut]

Well, I've pretty much run the full spectrum of knives. Modern, antique, fixed blade, import etc.
and after all that, I keep coming back to good ol' Victorinox. I carry others because I have them, but mostly use the Vics and the Classics are so effective they could become preeminent.
BTW your Dad is brilliant, I think I'd like him.

Personally, I've never handled a bad Vic, or heard anybody really complain about them. I have five or six Alox Vics, and there's always one in my pocket, although they don't always get their picture taken. Then there are least four Classics, and a couple red handled ones around the house & in the vehicles. All mine have the same snap, and the QC is good on all of them. I have a couple Wengers too, and they're the same.

 

[redsparrow]

Sounds like your experience is similar to mine, as all of my Vics are also of excellent quality. The thing that really endears them to me is their versatility. One BF contributor in Traditionals compares knives other than Victorinox to "one-trick ponies".
I keep hoping for a Cadet with scissors, some are calling a Cadet X.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend my friend.
Vics don't just cut, they work.

Another stellar lineup!

Thank you Dale !

Hostas look like the hatching pods on Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.
That paracord thing hanging off my knife is mainly good for folding back the shackle when I go to close the blade.

Looks like somebody snatched your old beat up hat as well !

Classics are so effective they could become preeminent.

Have one on my key ring in my pocket every day.

Stellar stag on your vintage Cases, Rob! That canoe has me dreaming of The Land of Sky Blue Waters!

- GT

Thank you GT ........... might be my best old Case.
I'd never sell it, but, you might make it to the Land of Sky Blue Waters if you ever get tired of having two wooden HHB's. One would be nice for me.
Now that I think about it, I'm sure it is my best old Case.

 

[Primble]

I don't use the black but use the white bone, i just don't cut extension cords and scrape the smoker grill with it, if you know what I mean.

I know what you mean and that's a purty smart call !

... The Land of Sky Blue Waters ...

I remember that HAMM'S BEER slogan from the 60's and 70's. (Hamm's was my mum & step-pop's beer of choice.)
My preferance was FALSTAFF and Schlitz ... tho I did not decline a Hamm's when they offered.
