Thanks. Stealth run 112 with nickel silver, rosewood (which seems really light for that) and Magnacut steel. Exactly what I'd pick if I went custom shop (but they didn't have Magnacut as a custom shop option when these came out).Custom Shop nickel silver bolsters with pinned oak covers 112?
What blade steel option did you choose?
Looks great.
Looks like a couple very happy granddaughters. I know you and Mrs. Amir have enjoyed having the girls with you.
The neighbors had this thing out by the curb for the garbage man. They told Vik that they’d given up on trying to fix it, so she dragged it home for me to fix
It came with a new battery and a handful of wires and weird connectors.
She snagged it in the hope that I could get it working because these two were coming for the week.
So the eight year old and I spent a chunk of a day taking it apart and figuring out the mess of wiring. And after figuring out how to reverse my DIS-assembly, by golly, it runs.
Peg-Perago, Italian made licensed copy of a John Deere Gator. It surprised me with it’s guts and with how long it runs on the 12 v battery. Two forward speeds, and reverse. Of course, the kids love it.
But I’m dropping them at the airport today, and wondering what the blazes I’m going to do with it now. We’ll probably donate it to my daughter’s day program for their next fund raiser rummage sale.
It is Schradurday, so my Schrade Split Back Whittler made for Sears will do.
This is my attempt at Surf Green, a General Motors color from the late fifties that Fender and Gibson used on some of their guitars.
It’s shellac with white and green tint sprayed on with Pre-Val sprayers. I am hoping that we get those forecasted 2 or 3 days in the 70s (farenheit) this coming week that will allow me to lay on ten or fifteen clear coats of nitro cellulose lacquer. If not, it could be months before it’s warm enough for spraying lacquer.

EDIT~ working on that thing gave me a good chance to show Remington how to properly use a TL-29 utility blade for stripping wires, prying, and turning screws. I thought I should do that after his admission that he had broken the blade on the Vic Camper SAK I’d given him for Christmas last year
Wow on the Buck.
Your photos have a way of making a southerner that is up north feel almost back down south.
Bob, you are drooling and I can smell the southernness is the photoHere I go again, drooling down my shirt.
Hope your feet are in front of a warm fire. Good looking stockmanStaying close to home today. Got all my chores for winter prep done so it's feet up for the World Series game later. I'll recliner chair carry this SS 6347 Stockman today. ???? for breakfast.
I don't think I've seen or even heard of a Cannitler!
Very nice Scagel Jim.
Elk covers are more subtle than stag -- and incredibly beautiful in their own way. Congrats on yours -- great call from the custom shop!
Thanks, Bob -- very much appreciated. As I mentioned in the Northwoods thread, this one is from GEC -- Burnt Stag on a 72 frame. It's a favorite.Very nice Scagel Jim.
They're nice. I really wanted one of those stealth run Magnacut 112s, but I procrastinated too long, and missed out. They offered them in the Custom Shop, so I only had to wait a few more months to get one.Albers and Buck.
I missed the stealth run, but got a good deal for this one on the Exchange (right before they added Magnacut to the Custom Shop
).
The old 92 stockman pattern is definitely one of my favorites. Very nice example, lots of character!
