That's one way to keep people off the lawn.

Yeah, they're definitely around here in the Carolina's... Watch your step!!!





Edit for added pic.

Today we spent about 4 hours at the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in East Lake, North Carolina. Unfortunately we never saw any gators, but we did see two nice sized black bears——one sleeping in the top of a 40’ pine tree and the other bolting across the road in front of us into a canal and out the other side! After we ate this evening we drove out to the Bodie Island Light Station so I could get my usual pic for this thread, but the wind was blowing so hard my knife kept falling over, so this is the best I could do.

Nice! You still got some good pics despite the wind issues

A rare midweek estate sale with no pictures of knives or tools (my collecting focus) turned into a knife bonanza.

Here’s the group shot …


Four nice Case knives. A 6202-1/2 from 1972, a Stockman from 2002, a Doctor’s Knife from 2001, and an Eisenhower from 1940-64. The Eisenhower needs a good cleaning, but was the real prize in a $5 box!!


Two very minty Gerbers. A PK-1 in the original box and a Sportsman (?) with its sheath.


Two large fixes blades with sheaths. A Schrade 165 Deerhunter and a Kabar 1207 Bowie. Both in really nice condition.


At the bottom of the group shot is a Queen #26 Stockman, Boker USA Stockman, and an early Leatherman Micra. At the top is a German-made, by NY labeled straight razor.

I haven’t gotten around to pocketing mine, yet, but it seems like it’d be a handy knife.

They should’ve done all of those like that, rather than jigging the micarta.

Hatch Chile bacon and today’s companion

Dang, Hatch chile bacon sounds pretty good!

That is a little weird to hear that " It is Sunday already " but knowing where you are it then makes sense to me Will . Great little knife !!! Steel Liners ???

It can really throw me off when some of our Australian members post and mentioned that it’s Wednesday afternoon or whatever. Sometimes feels like they’re two or three days ahead!

Monday's totes .... on a beautiful September morning.

Beautiful wood on that Albers, and well-photographed as always. What’s the wood?

I’ve been loving all the pics of the 2024 Guardians knives in this thread recently. (Sorry, I can’t quote ‘em all, so I just had to grab the most recent few I saw).

I’ve had mine in my pocket for the last couple weeks. Things got a little crowded today when I added both of the girls’ knives. Eleanor had her first day of 3rd grade, and Scout had her first day back at preschool, so I figured I should carry their special knives, but I couldn’t kick the GL-24 out of my pocket.

I used some of my extra free time to check out Ax-Man Surplus in St. Paul. Quite a place. More pics here in the Guardians thread.

Really like the looks. J-M, do you know the original purpose of that design?

Hi Bob,
The first troops France sent to its colonies were naval troops. I think that explains why the blade is shaped like a sailor's knife.
The knife was used for everything. The absence of a point to protect the sailor when the boat is rocking also makes it impossible for soldiers to fight each other.

Thanks so much for the explanation. I had a feeling it was a sailors tool.

Congrats on finding that treasure trove.

Very nice horn!

Thanks for the Tuesday market report Barrett. Where are all the characters?

Thank you Barrett. Eric called that wood Spalted White Oak Burl.
It's nice to hear about the girl's first day back to school ............... when the cats away, the mice can play.
That vintage Micarta has changed my mind about the look of that material. Love it .... especially the ones with the black or soiled look to them.
