What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

A Camillus "Rough Cut" Stockman.
Said to have been about the last product made just before Camillus shut down in 2007, the two that I owned were a bit on the rough side as far as the springs being flat. (I still have this one.)
Blade steel unknown, but is not stainless. Covers not known, but are plastic, have not shrunk, and appear to be Delrin. And you just have to love thatgorgeous clip blade. Camillus made the most gorgeous clip blades. They just got that shape perfect.

A repeat of the photo of the Camillus and Voos from Friday. I’ve been working on cleaning the blades up when I get a chance. They’re getting there, but I also don’t think ~80 year old knives should be bright and shiny.

The more I work on the Voos blade, the more its mistreatment becomes evident. It’s been (badly) reprofiled (I think?) and it looks like someone took a Dremel or rough grit sandpaper perpendicular to the spine. Oh well, part of the ‘story’ this knife tells!!

My sister and her husband have acreage near there, around 100 acres, surrounded by national forest land. It used to be an old church camp. Main house, several cabins, boat dock, etc. We spent many great family times there, but the local crackheads have ruined it. They broke in, and stole everything they could ~ antiques, tons of fishing tackle, tools, golf carts… everything they could haul off and sell, then totally vandalized the entire place. Damned shame.

I’m a peaceful guy, but sometimes I have evil thoughts.

All things considered if you didn't you might not be "human".

I hope those responsible are eventually caught, tried, convicted, and get many, many years in prison. 😡🤬
Since values are over $500 they are looking at Felonys. 😡
 
Out and about all day and I brought along the 97 Allegheny 🦫
It was a nice day, finally a break in hot & humid. Farmers market, flea market, parks, and a nice lunch out with the fam.

Unfortunately no pic was taken today but the river beav was definitely toted!
 
Brilliant ride on my motorbike today,best ride this year by a mile.

It was sunny and I saw a lot of interesting things like.



Small full English breakfast, delicious along with a big mug of tea.

Old and new bikes.

Small village no pub,shop or post office yet the streets full of people visiting the open gardens of the locals.

Cream tea at the village hall.

Bees crawling in flowers to pollinate.

Quiet old scenic English country lanes.

Old armour of the sort I used to work on.

Guarded by scary barking Rottweilers.

Other trhings ive forgotten about.



Good to be alive today.

One village had a sign by its name that will become a new motto of mine "Slow down,see more" so true.
