Another cool and foggy day at my house in the City by the Bay! Resting up for getting my heart zapped tomorrow ️. In the meantime keeping me company today the Harvey Special and SAK Executive. Have a great day folks!

Seems like they’re trying the zapping instead of ablation more now. A friend just went through that. Went in being told he was getting an ablation, came out having been zapped instead. He says it’s working for now…
Best of results, Dan.

Dozens of these guys (the toadstools, not the Case) popped up all over the yard after the rain. View attachment 2609724

If it was me, I would not eat those

Pulled this pair out of the knife cabinet this morning to carry. Seems I carry wood handled knives a bit more than my others. I think I'm just attracted to wood grain appearance and the warm feel of it in hand. Being a hobbyist wood worker most of my life may contribute to the attraction as well. Not to say that I don't also love my jigged and smooth bone, or stag, or acrylic, or Micarta and celluloid knives too.

Enough rambling deep thoughts pictured below- Schatt & Morgan Heritage jack and Western 522 LB

I went for a short walk to get away from my neighbours hassle.

Took my recently cleaned Bunny but forgot my wallet.

Lucky I had some change in the car I keep for homeless people etc.

I'm finally giving this another shot today. I hammered the pivot tight enough where it won't open in my pocket, which is why it's been sitting the bench forever.

The lock is definitely not needed. It would be nice if it had a catch to help keep the blade closed, but it's a friction folder and there's not much danger of it closing on me.

Other than that it's a great size and shape. Very slicey.

Did you add the easy open notch?

I have the non-locking version. Agree with the "very slicy".
I believe the two MAM's I have (both non-locking. Other is the Spear Point.) will out-slice my two Opinel (#8 and #6).

The AC here is ... "over enthusiastic" ... and set to 67/68°, so it never shuts off in the summer ... and rarely in the winter when the stove or oven are used, or 3 or more (not counting the staffette) are in the main commons/TV room area.

I used non-adesive wood swell (used to tighten old loose wood furniture joints) to tighten up my friction folders.

Yeah I was using a 3/4 diamond bit on an angle grinder and thought it would make the perfect easy open notch grinder and it is. Just put the grinder in a vice and it makes it nice, even and cleanly cut. I put the lanyard hole in it too.

It's a good knife and after beating on the pivot it's nice and tight and didn't open up at all today.

This one is oak so I might hit it with vinegaroon to blacken it. Might look neat.

I've had this old KaBar 2502 in my pocket today. I picked it up for cheap from an outfit that sold knives that TSA had confiscated. (They've since stopped doing so.) So I have no history. But the blades are good and they both have a nice snap to them.

This one!

 

[Primble]

A pair of John Primble ISW Crown Jacks in well worn pick bone and blackened stag (c.1890-1940). I think this pair was made in the early days and in the same approximate time frame ..... my guesstimate is that both could easily be from the 1890-1900 time period. The picked bone must have been used as a worry stone for one of the previous owners. The bone is worn below where it meets the end cap bolster. Still a fine working knife though with hard snaps. ............. Like totin' history in your pockets. ............ in pocket slips, of course.
