Your Harbour coat looks like my australian outback coat,my son won it at his hockey teams silent auction, found out all the kids put their tickets in for prizes like gaming consoles and other child related prizes and my son put all his in to win the jacket,30 years later mine smells like yours but I used a mink wax I believe

I'm pretty sure Otter Wax is just the brand name. I would never squeeze an otter hard enough to make wax drip out.

Your son sounds wise🤙

Got my Barbour at one of my favorite resale shops, Armstrong's in Edinburough Scotland.

The 225Q was made from 1095 carbon steel. Cattaraugus must have had a great heat treat, as like you said the steel performs very well. My very good friend, Chuck Karwan (RIP) did a great article on the 225Q, and told me that custom knife maker Wayne Goddard (RIP) said it was the only knife he was not able to break as a kid. I have one carried by a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot who flew unarmed transports planes behind Japanese lines in the China Burma India campaign. I met a Staff Sergeant in 2nd BN, 1st SFGA, who had one his Uncle had carried in WWII serving in the infantry in Italy. Of course I tried to buy it, and of course he told me NO! John

Do not blame him.
Sailors used them to open pallets.
Thought of parkerizing mine, but I'd have to do it when Mrs Fleschwund is not home to see me doing on the kitchen range.

Well my friend, I may be mistaken but you might have been standing next to me when I purchased the HSB from your preferred vendor at the table just inside the door at the Badger Knife Show two years ago. Although I am younger than you I'm still a senior so my memory isn't the best but I do know I got it there when I first met all you fellas.:)
It's a good knife, actually one of my favorites for carry. Has great blade combination and action, takes a keen edge and has that sleeveboard frame that I'm so fond of. What I also like about it is it's size, being a bit larger, ( at about 3-3/4"), it is bigger than some pen knife sized sleeveboard that I have.

Now that you remind me, I do recall that.
Mike is the first table by the entrance, and he usually gets my Walkin Around Money before I even hit any other booths.

17681564433497077085628004531418.jpg surprisingly mine was made in canada,that gesture by my son allowed him take advantage of my good nature for the next 25 years,so yes a wise decision.you got me beat after I read that the queen wears barbout coats,and haven't heard of her wearing our canadian equivalent.

Been bebopping around and forgot to post.
A Utica Stockman I purchased new in ~2015?
A bit of an odd duck. The main blade is 1095 the other blades are stainless.

I like to think I can play just about any style of music, but bebop?
I'll go sit down now.

I had a faded Camillus flea market knife that I dyed with potassium permanganate. Turned out ok, but your leather dye looks better.

Force 10 from Navarone




Just arrived a Norwegian Witco military snow shovel.
I’ve sanded down the handle and applied several coats of Danish oil,which I’ve left to dry.
Highly recommend you get one,light,tough and squaddie proof. 😇
My 2nd GEC Viper Gabon ebony 47 pattern.😁











Johnny, if heavy snow is predicted, I throw an old grain scoop in my car. If I had yours, I could just leave it in there.

Didja realize that if you tote the same knives all year long, and one of them has antler handles, every Stagurday yer prepared?

I had two things to do yesterday. Puppy training in the morning, and getting this new guitar wired up.

In spite of an open book with wiring diagrams, and my phone open with more wiring diagrams, I had to open the control panel and pull out the wiring harness on this one just to be sure.

It was a good excuse to buy a new Weller soldering iron.
Just have to install the knobs and switch cap, put strap pins on, and do a final setup.
It will be my church guitar next Sunday.
