I got a couple loads of cattle back from Oregon today. The last two will come back next week. This is the last summer I will have cattle on the ranch up there, as it sold and the new owner will graze it, so I will no longer lease it. We’ve been grazing up there for 15 years, lots of good times and memories.

Beautiful rig!!!!!! Pete??? What's under the hood? Trans??? 13, 15 or 18?.
Thanx!

Well, after talking with you last week, and how you’d mentioned the 32 in stag, I am NOT surprised to see one has a new home!
You’ve got some nice bark on that chunky stag, my friend.

They sure did a nice job in paying tribute to a classic old pocket knife pattern.
My Grandpa carried a Camillus Silver Sword Easy Open Jack just like that.

Great selections, Rick!

For some reason, I thought I should take a pic of the Schrade Folding Hunter you gave me. And that awesome 96OT Trapper is in my pocket again today

Thanks Jeff.
I am glad you are putting those two to use. They would have just sat with me.
Hopefully when and if I retire I will be able to get more use from my knives. Right now use is minimal

Two Schrade Tuesday

Don’t be offended by the less than purely traditional looks of my constant companion here. The only time it’s not on my belt is on a rare airline ordeal, or visit to the courthouse where magnetometers guard the doors.
This model of Leatherman is my favorite of all the models I have tried and retired, or lost.

Curious. I've never seen a Buck 317 in the flesh.
Is it the closed length 5.125 to 5.25 inch? (full size)
Do you ever pair it with a 301 or 303 Stockman?

Good looking 2 blade folding hunter.


A Western 062 Folding hunter has been on my belt since 08-31-24.
Not sure when (or if) it will come off.

A great and practical pattern, IMHO.

Two of my favorites. I really like bargain work knives. Especially ones that are built really well. Both of these check all the boxes for my needs and requirements.

Thanks. It came via a pass around Case Box.

Just over 5-1/4" closed. Almost too much for a pocket.
That Western looks great

I understand. Even though I’ve rarely gone without, my knives get used a lot more being retired from my sales job. Part and full time farm work, garden, guitar work, etc.
Take care of your health now ~ cardio, joints, etc. so you can enjoy your knives in retirement.

A rainy day exploring some of Michaux State Forest with my favorite knife. Actually had some spots I needed 4wd for today. Good day off.

I know when I would take time between job assignments, my knives saw a lot more use.
