What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Primble]

It’s one thing to buy a new knife, keep it in it’s tube, unused and unsharpened. But to see 80 to 100 year old knives in such unmolested condition is a real treat

I like them both ways ........ not used very much and used quite a bit ..... but, not abused.
Thank you Jeff.

Pretty Pocketful, Mr.P!!!

Thank you Charlie.

That Bark River is stunning JW !

Nice pair today, but more importantly, hope truck problem is not serious.

Seems its fuel pump related, not sure yet

I hate when that happens. There are lots of worse things that can happen, but still, your truck breaking down has to be in the top ten, maybe fifteen. If my truck ain't running right, all is not right in the world. Hope ya get if fixed easily and cheaply

Thats for sure, should be fairly easily to fix, not sure about being cheap though

Carrying the Rider for WW.
My wife was going through her candles & was going to throw some of the old ones out. (Some of y'all know how expensive those scented ones can be) So I decided to save the wax out of a few & combined them in an old mason jar. Then I just heated it up with a hair dryer (I didn't feel like going out in the shop for the heat gun just for that)
Then put a twine wick in the center. The twine soaked the wax right up. Once it cooled down a bit & the wax solidified some I tried it out.

Ta-da!!!

You know, that version of the 86 is just — well, how should I put it — ruggedly handsome…

Thank you kindly, Mr. P. That one got me interested in Cholla Cactus as a handle material. Love the Southwestern vibe.

A really nice old H.S.& B.

Got this out today, it travels nice and slim in the pocket, great W&T another CASE bargain in my view. Although it did cost a bit more than the threepenny coin in the picture, brass not gold unfortunately

I've got one exactly like that Will Will Power . Same color and all except mine was slammed in a truck door with the shield fallen out of and patched with J-B Weld.

nasty fuel pumps ... The in tank, on the frame, or the on the engine pump?
(some EFI have all three.)

In tank is the worst, since you have to pull the tank.
The on engine pump can be "fun" to get to sometimes, too.

A friend had a Factory V-8 Chevy Vega ("Monza") back in the late '70's.
To reach the fuel pump (AND to change the spark plugs) the engine had to be pulled.
High added expenses for repair and maintenence.
He traded it for a '66 Nova, with a supposed 327" Corvette engine equipped with dual quads.
(yes. he did put a rod through the side of the block.
Suprisingly, when starting from a stop sign, without a lead foot. )

I believe he switched to Ford and Mopar after that.

You sure do have a sparkling collection, but the ones with a punch/awl are my favorites, has the blade on the pocket ease been reconfigured
