[ZHoovie]

Just got off work, doing some yardwork now so I don't have to do it this weekend. Got the Micarta Copperlock & Alox Pioneer helping out with cutting duties.



It's hot & humid out out this way, remember to stay hydrated y'all!

Have a good one!

I’ve noticed lately that some of you have begun assigning human names to knives.
We usually give our dogs human names ~
Lester (Britanny Spaniel), Mike (Britanny Spaniel), Zach (German Shepherd Dog), and Dave (Boston Terrier). Not Grizzley (GSD), or my present Mutt, Manny, though.

For some reason, my wife’s younger brother got his undies in a bunch over it. His name is Brian.

What do you think I should name my next dog?

Jeff I name the knives that were gifted to me. To remind me of the person that gave it to me, makes it special to me.
The Schatt is T-bone for Tim pmek5
The May is called Brian for Bob Rufus1949
Also Brian May is pretty cool.

What to call your next dog?
Why Mitch of course!

4.0 earthquake just hit in my city. Haven’t had one like that in a while.

Been a few of those up and down the California coast in the last week or so. LA area has had a couple in various places.

Thank you, everyone is good. 4.0 will give a decent shake but not enough to cause real damage. Maybe knock over a few items on a shelf but nothing too serious.

yessir. While it's always a bit heart-stirring when the terra is momentarily not firma, that's a good assessment of a 4.0.

Really been getting a kick out of this particular RC since I got it.

Back in my pocket again today, still need to fix the grind but it’s sharper than I need it to be LOL, I will dull it down first.

I wish Case made more micarta. That one is very nice.

A couple of new additions to the Rough Ryder collection. Both are blue Micarta and I believe RR calls the Electrician Faded Blue Jeans and the Half Hawk Denim. Both have the excellent fit and finish of my other RR knives. Far exceeding what you’d expect for a knife that costs a little over $10!

I was stationed in the Santa Anna area of So. Cal for a couple years back in the late 60's, but only recall one earthquake. I was walking down the hall in the barracks, and down at the end of the hall, the floor rose up & came at me like a wave. I grabbed a bunk, and when the wave went past me, it almost threw me on the floor. A couple native CA guys were there & said it was "just" an earthquake.

Today's carry is an AG Russell War Eagle Copperhead. I note that this resembles a Boker Copperhead rather than a Case Copperhead. The WE and the Boker both have a skinning blade as a secondary, rather than a pen blade as does the Case.

I find it interesting that the Case 2-blade pocket hunter and folding hunter both have this combination of blades and a similar handle shape. But to quote the bard, "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
It's a nicely made knife with amber bone coves and a blade alloy which roughly approximates 440A (7Cr14MoV. I note that the curren ones are 8Cr13MoV)

On the other hand, I've seen pictures of midwesterners gawking without too much trepidation at a by-passing tornado. It just depends on what hazards you are used to.

Grilled bone-in pork chop, potato salad, and a little watermelon ought to do it for a nice hot August evening.
Used my late mom's favorite Primble Hickory knife to do the cuttin'.
A lot cheaper and tasted better than what I usually get going out for dinner. Cheaper means more money for knives.

Yessir. Did you feel it in SD?

Mr.P, your knife seems to have been transformed into a filet knife.
Mouth watering.

I think some of the folks in the north part of the county did. I live down by the border. (Unfortunately, within the "aroma distance" of the Tiajuana Estuary when the wind is from the South.) I didn't feel any of them.
