When we used to visit family in North Carolina, some of them farmers, they used to boil peanuts. Pretty good as boiled - tasty when sprinkled with salt. My Dad would always take a few pounds home with us when we left.

When we travel through Georgia or South Carolina we see signs for boiled peanuts all over. I’ll have to finally stop and try some, they sound delicious.

Boiled peanuts are a southern delicacy that people either love or hate. They’re a bit mushy, but delicious when fresh and made properly. The ones boiled with Cajun spices are awesome!! As a transplanted northerner, I love ‘em!!!

Just got back from a long weekend in the mountains, so last day for this triple combo. To be truthful, the Camillus did 95% of the work.

Sounds good to me.

the Camillus did 95% of the work.

By chance is the Camillus the one with ""U.S.A." stamped on the shield?
Judging by the can opener it is a "late" no year in a small font) - 4 line.
The jigging is similar to my 4 line Camillus and 1011-1921 Robeson English Jack.
I wish manufacturers could use that interesting jigging again, but I'm guessing it cannot be made by machine like modern jigging is.

(The "early" 4 line used until c.1929(?) had the year made in small font in the tang stamp, from what I discovered trying to date my "late" 4 line 2 blade "Navy Knife" or possibly 33 Easy Open. I'm not sure which it is.)

Bob, I'm always so stunned when you post your checkered white bone knives that I think this is the first time I realized you have more than one of them - sensational!!

Good Thursday to you. A Toole Gunstock.

Kurt, you certainly have a gallery of grand good-lookers!

The Irish Imperial for the hospital, the Rosecraft for the yard.

Notable pairs of knives, Pat (newish pair), Steve (oldish pair), and Jer (oldish and newish)!

Today’s companion is the Honk Falls trapper by Don Hanson. I love the stag on this one and how sharp an edge the W2 takes.

Superb knife - I love the fish on the tang stamp!

Yes its a #59, Gary. Nice and slim and very pocketable. The RR is a little shorter and a tiny bit thicker, but very similar. Both have nice thin blades that slice well.

Thanks for the confirmation, Mike, and for the comparative mini-review.

From the golden age!View attachment 2973992

Bonny bone, bolsters, and blades, Bob!

Still with the Norfolk. Have a blessed weekend everyone.

Beauty, Tim!
I wish more folk had Norfolk.

Schrade 881 this morning.

Splendid stockman, Jeff; when I hear "peach seed jigging", I think of what you've got on your 881!

Fantastic fake stag!

Went to town early only to find when we came home that while we were gone, "Abby" the Hoarder had taken a bag of onions out of our vegetable bin, tore the onion bag open, and took the onions out to the backyard. We know this because her breath was doggy fresh with no hint of onions and Cindy found a fresh hidey hole with the onions in it. Was carrying a Case Crossroads throughout the whole adventure.

Handsome knife, Ed, and thanks for another story of Abby's grocery shopping adventures while you're away from home!

That belknap is the bomb!

Thanks. I can't even remember where/how I got that knife. It was in my window repair bucket for decades.

Carrying my Great Grandpa’s old Queen today. My dad remembers him skinning rabbits with it on hunting trips as a kid. I have an old shotgun of his as well that I’m pretty partial to.

That's a heck of an heirloom knife!

A Cosimo De Benedetto. Overcast this morning as usual in Santa Cruz. It’s going to be a nice day though. Happy Saturday.

What a knife!

I went with my oldest Case today. Not sure what pattern it is. Where the stamping is for the pattern info is worn so much you can't read it.

Thanks Gary. Once I discovered how secure the grip was, I wanted more.

Straight from the pressure cooker, with lots of salt and spice, a cold beer or coca-cola, not Pepsi cola or RC cola but coke and life is good.
