I've been carrying this one for a week now, quite happy with it.

Had a repair guy in yesterday to fix our 6-month old Maytag washing machine. The Junk they sell now days - all run by computers. What ever happened to the spin the dial and push it days? If it goes again we're getting a Speed Queen Laundramat Model manual spin the dial and push version. They're expensive but run forever. Carrying this single blade Jack today for our trip to town.

Nice Jack today Ed.
Every article I have read says get a Speed Queen. Run forever and parts are always available.

This etch will be gone soon. To me, it messes with the overall appearance of a knife.
Black plum for black friday.

Patina is your friend

Agreed Mitch. Etches are for flippers.

I generally prefer no etch, but don't mind them, unless I like them, then they bother me because I don't want to mess up the etch, so I prefer no etch or one I'm indifferent too

I'd hate to see Howard the Owl obliterated

Fortunately, I have plenty of other knives to use on stuff that causes patina

My 3 year old Speed Queen's computer recently had to be replaced. The tech did say he had rarely seen this problem. Fixed under warranty and I like the machine, but yeah, I agree with you there is something to be said for mechanical controls.

Pool and poker today. Its supposed to be in the mid 80's today, so shorts weather. I'll carry the Cadet X later. The Albers lamb has been in my pocket around the house this morning. Y'all have a good one

Speed Queen still makes an all mechanical washing machine called their Laundromat - no computers. The repair guy said the Humane Society in town uses them for washing dog/cat blankets and so does the vet with no problems what with all the dog and cat hair.

I was unaware of that when I bought mine, but at least mine doesn't have wifi. I'm scared of appliances that want to get on the internet

I bought a toothbrush the other day that wanted me to go on the internet to set it up! :thumbsdown:
