78 Barlow today, and I now have a car payment for the first time in 2 years. Probably no new knives for a while, but it was time.

Try putting a heavy coat of oil and a small speck of Flitz and rub it around with your finger to mix it up and rub it lightly with 0000 steel wool and wipe off. Might make it look good.

Ok, I’ll try it.

Wait a minute! Did the secret Primblization recipe just get leaked from a highly reliable source!?!

Good luck!! It’s not uncommon for the ‘search to control A-Fib’ to take a bit of time and several different remedies. that the solution for you will reveal itself soon!! In the meantime, listen to the docs and your body.

Thank you Sir that’s encouraging to hear! My doc says we will figure it out .

Couple ruggedly handsome knives

Winterbottom bone. Sure is a nice Queen

I cut up some fried chicken with this #86 last week and just wiped the blade on my pants. This mess is the result! I’ve been trying to even it out cutting fruit, but I think a date with a tube of Flitz is in order.

Verah nice Barlow

Got the yard cut and trimmed and some other outdoor work done before the rain showed up. Crab grass showed up in a hurry last week. I picked up my old saw-cut bone Boker Barlow as I was going out the door. Ended up with a nice nap with Elijah J. the Mainecoon while the rain was pattering down.

Out and about with these two today.

Very very classy looking fixed blade Gary ! I need you to tie my lanyards.

GEC calls it a Bullet End Barlow . I call it a Bullet End Jack .
Now I have both in my pockets .

Love the look of your Jack-low Harry. It will go well with your daddy Barlow and Pruner with the Sterling shields. You don't see jacks with saw-cut bone, which makes it a half breed, I.M.O.
I like that you don't call it a Barlow.

These two today:

This 1994 Remington Silver Bullet Camp Knife was made, and subsequently rejected, by Camillus as evidenced by the 'X'ed out Remington tang stamp and the lack of the Remington logo etch on the master clip blade.

It came to me unused, but with a horrendously wavy and heavily recurved primary bevel and a severely rounded tip on the master blade - possibly the basis for its rejection? I have little knowledge of the internal QC processes at Camillus but if anyone here does and can shed any light on the background of these, I'd be interested to hear more. In any case, the rest of the knife is flawless. Fortunately, I'll eventually be able to sharpen out the wonky grind entirely, but in the interest of not removing more material than necessary, I was satisfied with being able to get a clean apex that takes, and seemingly holds, a very nice edge.

She's a big girl, and I often refer to her as my "Poor Man's Texas Camp Knife" - just let me have my fantasy, dammit!!! I often clip a chain to the bail with the other end attached to a belt loop, as this thing is so heavy I don't know how well the bone would survive a drop to an unforgiving surface and I'm trying not to find out. That said, there's something about a knife so hefty that it could be used to peen the pins on a lesser knife - yeah, I went there... lesser knives, because there's less of them!

Included for scale is a lovely 1970 Case Peanut wearing sophisticated stag pants gifted to me by a friend in the Bearcat community. Thanks, Josh!

Handsome pair my friend !

Wait a minute! Did the secret Primblization recipe just get leaked from a highly reliable source!?!

I reckon we'll see.

Very nice Boker my friend . Have you ever found anything to kill Crab Grass ? My neighbor gave me the info on something that worked for him and it also does for me . It is not a pre-emergent . I just sprayed mine this week . A lot less crab Grass this year than last year .

Must be a great job or rough neighborhood. Either way looks like a good day at work

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing

Thanks. Happy to share. It’s an amazing area.

Well, after taking a hiatus I figured I’d post today. I’m still dealing with an irregular heart beat and went in for my second Cardio Version last Friday. Didn’t work so now try again with a different and stronger medication and retest in a few weeks. In the meantime another foggy day here in the City by the Bay! Keeping me company a Alger’s lamb and my Bullet End Barlow. Have a great day folks!

Glad to see you back, Dan. I miss those shots of the Chronicle, reminds me of growing up in the North Bay. Hope they get your heart dialed in soon.

Awesome pair, David. Love that Horsewright

Was able to go to the O’s Game today as part of an event hosted by another company. Had to go with the O’s knife of course, and it worked! Jackson Holliday’s first game back up from AAA and he hits a grand slam! What an amazing experience live. For a noon game there was maybe 30% of a crowd but it was rockin’ loud when that ball made it to Uetaw St.

What an awesome game to be at! Surprised they let you in with a knife, I don’t think I could do that at a Giants or A’s game.

I had this Alox SAK with me today. We did some tubing on the river.

Best wishes, Dan.

Yesterday I worked outside all day so today I am resting inside most of the day and had this one in my pocket , as I have most days .

Then the mail came and I drove our Gator out to the mail box to get this one . GEC calls it a Bullet End Barlow . I call it a Bullet End Jack . After CE & CF it a lot , I have to say that they did a great job on it . The inlay of the Bullet Shield is superb . Just as they did on the 2 Remingtons that they made in the last few years . Centering , flush springs , no Burrs on the bone , bone saw cut grooves depth , sharpness , smooth fit in the hand , color match side to side . Just overall a pretty good knife .

Now I have both in my pockets .

Harry

They go well together.
