I have most of my garden areas fenced, including a lot of this type. I was recently dismayed to see a juvenile rabbit slip right through that without even slowing down.
So now I’m in the process of lining the bottom with chicken wire. It’s war.

Funny you mention A/C. Got the guys coming out today because ours is out. I have a bad feeling, because it’s got some years on it.

Mine went out in summer of 19 and was $5800. I’ve never been so miserable, what with being too broke to buy knives and all.
 
Figured this one was too deserving not to carry it again

I wondered if it was like here when I mentioned that because you don't see the Chickadees around here much in the Summer months. 🤔🐧😊

Yes, same here.

Today I went back hoping to find either chipmunks or chickadees :)

The heat and humidity was oppressive and extreme.
My phone overheated and shut off at one point just from holding it for pictures.

No chipmunks in sight today however patience paid off and we got to see some birds in the end.

Some birds looked "scraggly" and rather stressed out. Some appeared to be "panting" if I can put it that way.
Other looked a little better but nothing like they do in the fall and winter.

It’s interesting to see a lot of folks who like to carry very large knives, especially those who prefer modern folders. And I have and carry some large modern folders. But if I am honest with myself, for non-food uses, this little 34OT easily handles almost all of my needs.

When stationed at Vandenberg AFB CA 25 years ago my bride and I would often walk the deserted beaches on the weekends looking for shells. Finding abalone shells, even just broken pieces, was a rare treat. I tried to make small jewelry pieces with the shells but gave up ... too hard, too brittle. A while back I gave Charlie Bell a shell that we had picked up and he was able to get two single pieces big enough for this 3" single blade sowbelly. The waterfall shield goes with the ocean motif and is also a sowbelly approved shield. 2D photos can't capture the immense chatoyance this beauty has but I'm not a video person so these will have to do. Even with the intense scrutiny of my macro / full frame you can't see any pins. 100% handmade by Charlie.

Hit a couple of antique stores on my way back from VA yesterday and found a couple of thrifty items. Carrying the pocket watch and the Wenger. The Boker reeks of oil from all the rust removal so I gotta let it sit for a while.

Old Ingraham pocket watch (maybe 30s-40s?). Still works and keeps time. Also a discontinued Wenger Premier (same as the SAK Bantam). Apparently it’s SAK made but with the Wenger tang stamp.

What are the handles on the one between the 34 Forum knife and the bullet gunstock?

Love the Schrade 😍
 
Just got back for an 80th birthday party for a friend of mine. His cognitive abilities and energy level totally belie his age. His daughters rented a house on Lake of the Ozarks and had a barbeque. The crowd was scattered around pretty good, but I'd say 40+ people. I carried my Cadet.

I gave Jerry a Buck 55 in brass and ebony as a birthday gift:

The 78 has been recovered with hemp wood handles. It was an awesome gift from TylerG12 TylerG12 a while back. Definitely one of my favorites.

And yes…the 5OT is a worker. It gets razor sharp quick. That one was from my buddy Chris 321Bandaid 321Bandaid

Whether it’s the 34OT or a Case 18 pattern it’s pretty hard to beat that size of knife for something that’ll do almost everything you’d expect a pocket knife to do.
