Thorogood 814-6201.
I still have my Thorogood 4364 for general wear and after 6 years they're still going strong, but these are my new work boots that I'm breaking in.

I had an issue on the inside of the right boot, but otherwise after 3 years they do have tons of life left in them and without that 1 issue I wouldn't have needed to replace them.
At $275 shipped they're definitely a lot more expensive than those Wolverine's you're looking at, but they are very worth it.


And just to keep with the knife content, I didn't actually carry it but I was using my old western f48a out in my work shop today shaping a hatchet handle.

That's a great pair of boots!
There are there things that I've learned to never skimp on:
Tires, boots, and toilet paper.

They're a comfortable pair of boots too.
I walked the dog , worked on a project in my garage for a couple hours, and now they're already broken in enough that I can wear them at work tomorrow.
The heavily conditioned tumble relaxed leather they use from Seidel is known for it's quick break in time.


Yes there are definitely some things you don't skimp on, batteries are another one.

I just looked into it a little more . In 1980 NKCA had the same exact number , 2600 , of what they called National Knife Collectors Museum Founders Set . There are a fair amount of these sets for sale . It would appear that Originally that knife was available In The Set only . There were 4 different knives in the set . Each made by different companies . Below is the set .

Here it is almost bedtime and I haven't done my Monday BF posts yet! o_O

Cleaning back porch and basement stairs, waiting around for the annual furnace check, paying bills on the bank's new "improved" website, reading 6 weeks' worth of news emails from where I used to work (found a 50% off coupon for Wolverine and/or Merrell boots), ordered new license tabs for the car and took wife's absentee ballot to the post office, and turned that post office trip into a 6-mile walk. My wife took our dog in for a check-up on an eye ulcer he's had for a couple of months, and found out his cornea has perforated sometime over the past 2 days. So he has to have the eye removed tomorrow morning. Eventful day...

SAK of the Week is a Top Ten SAK for me, a silver Alox Farmer (thanks, Tom):

Hope all goes well for your furry friend Gary. Very nice sowbelly.👍🏻
 
I'm dropping our Labrador off at the vet this morning for a minor surgical procedure. She's getting a small growth removed from her eyelid, and we should be able to pick her up this afternoon. She isn't allowed any food or water, and the poor thing thinks she's being punished for something.:(
