Whoa, is that a Delrin XX Pruner w/ electrician's secondary? And a bail! That knife was made for you, basically? 2 kewl 4 skool Jeff!

Pretty cool, huh? Paul mailed that to me a couple of months ago. I think a hawk on an electrician’s knife is made for skinning cable, but I’m happy to have it for a garden knife.
And yes~ Paul is perfecting his skill at matching gift knives to their recipients.
Thanks, Jakeywax31 Jakeywax31 !

That little storm was through here yesterday.

2.5” in the rain gauge, so the weather page on my phone was only off by 2.1” inches in their forecast🤪

I should put in a little rhubarb patch. Hard to beat edibles that come back on their own year after year.

Today's carry is a Katz stockman AUS 8 and amber bone. A bit weak in the walk and talk, but still very well put together.

Pictured with a bottle of sake produced in the US. So this is an American style knife produced in Japan with a Japanese style beverage produced in the US.

Wow, that stockman is captivating. What do you think of it as a user? Good walk and talk? I wasn't aware that Katz made traditional slipjoints.

Today is my 14th wedding anniversary. We took the week off, and normally we plan some week-long stay at the coast. But we were too worn out this year to figure out the logistics of all that, so we're 'staycationing' (or I've been calling it a 9-day weekend). It's been really fun so far! Yesterday we worked on building a workbench until it got too hot, then went to see Twisters (highly recommended to see on the big screen, much better than the original). Today will be more on the workbench before the heat, then we may go the winery where I proposed to her in the afternoon. It's been a great 14 years!

These two in the morning, will probably swap out the standard lamb for the HHB in the afternoon when I'm trying to be a little fancier.

Congrats on the Anniversary -- sounds like a nice way to spend some time off together.

Not sure how available these are currently. I had to dig a few years back to find a dealer who had one. If I remember correctly, they offered both a drop point and clip blade options. I chose the drop point for the novelty. The steel is AUS 8.

An interesting take on a two-spring three blade knife. The blades are not crinked but are offset. But they are not thinned out, either. The result is a thick knife for the pocket, but a pleasure to use in the hand. (Reminds me of carrying a camper model.)

As I mentioned above, the walk and talk is a bit light, with the spring strength at about a 3 if an SAK were a 5. But still holds nicely in place during use. If you don't find the average Buck 301 unusable because of light springs, then I think this would work for you. The action, although light, is very smooth.

The bone is very well done. Fit and finish is immaculate with no gaps and springs flat in both open and closed positions for both open and closed of each blade, as one would expect of a knife made in Japan.

I had a dentist appointment today where they had to do something rather aggressive. Wasn’t quite sure how I would feel so I decided not to go to work at all. Just taking care of a couple garden items today and not much else.

Two words that I never like to see together is “dentist” and “aggressive”. Hope your not hurting tonight.
