Today I’m carrying this railroad spike knife that I made the other day at a “try your hand at forging with our help” place near my house. They gave me a sheath with it but I do my own leatherwork (just took on my first custom piece the other day!!!) and so I gussied up the (passable I guess) sheath they gave me just for practice before I make my own.
I’m pretty proud of it!

Nice old knife, Jeff.
Feel better!
 
SAK of the Week is a Pruner (thanks, Ken). The photo is at least 2 years old. We had several years of relatively productive grape harvests from the vine on our back fence. But 2 years ago, my wife decided she should prune the vine in the "off-season" (even though neither of us knew anything about pruning grape vines). Last summer we got no grapes (well, less than a dozen IIRC). This summer, the west end of the vine seems to be back to normal, but the east end still looks quite barren.

Stockman of the Week is a Case CV chestnut jigged sowbelly stockman, a generous surprise Christmas gift from a BF member who has since passed away.

Wow! It's so easy to get behind on this thread!
B BrotherJim , some excellent tales you're telling! I had a Mercator when I was a teenager. I've got no idea what happened to it. Maybe it's on Emil's table! 😱
sf fanatic sf fanatic , Dan, I've got a few knives like that. I'm glad it came back to you.

Put this little Seki-made beauty from A.G. Russell in my pocket. I'll try not to lose it and hope it doesn't make anyone disappear!

Mr. Rodney Canoe

Let me tell ya, I get no respect. I bought myself a fancy Buck Canoe pocket knife to feel like a real man. You know the type, jigged bone handle, 420J2 steel, spear blade, pen blade. Real classy stuff. I figured, now this will make me look rugged. Yeah right. With my luck I still get carded at R rated movies.

So I show it to my buddy Lou. He goes, "Nice knife. What’s it for, clipping coupons?" I tell ya, no respect. I try to open the spear blade to impress a girl at a picnic. I pulled the blade open and sliced my sandwich clean in half. She goes, "Wow, precision. Too bad you can’t cut it in conversation."

Even the knife’s got an attitude. I tried to whittle a stick and the knife folded shut like it couldn’t bear to watch. I tell ya, even it’s ashamed of me.

My uncle gave me the knife for self defense. Yeah, if I ever get attacked by a stubborn envelope, I’m ready. The pen blade’s so insecure, it writes Dear Diary every time I snap it open.

Last week I tried using it to fix a wobbly chair. The knife slipped and I ended up nicking the table leg. Now every time I eat, my meatballs roll into the salt shaker.

I tell ya, this knife is sharp, but not as sharp as my mother in law’s tongue. She saw it and said, "Oh good, now you can finally cut the cord and move out."

I can’t win. I got a pocket knife with pedigree and I still open Amazon boxes with my car keys. No respect, I tell ya. No respect at all.

Finally some sun today here in the City by the Bay! If I’d posted a few hours ago we would have been socked in with fog. Ah.. summer in the City. Went with my two recent acquisitions to tote today. Going out to celebrate my bride’s birthday later. In the meantime have a great day folks! 😀
