I decided to change my EDC for this week. I'm giving the 110 a week off (maybe two, the OT7 is feeling a bit depressed from lack of belt time) and put my Uncle Henry LB7 on my belt. Have not carried that one in 5 months or so. The Buck stockman is getting a little time off because my Rough Rider Barlow was feeling a bit lonely, so I'll be carrying that this week. Next week may see a return of the Buck canoe to the pocket.
I'm going to try carrying only two knives this week. I put the Marbles camp/scout/utility back in the box, and managed to get a keyring on the Leatherman Wingman's pocket clip for the SAK chain lanyard. (Why Leatherman can't put a lanyard ring or bail on all their multi-tools is beyond me. A lanyard prvents loss if you drop the dang durn thing.)

I am guessing 1972 - 1986 based on the Buck tang stamp. Nice knife by the way.

Skylarhaglar, that's a great looking clip on that Buck stockman, I like the long pull as well.

BTW, any suggestions on lubricating the joints. I have washed this a few times and dried thoroughly then applied mineral oil. It just doesn't have the same snap closure that it used to. I noticed these knives start off with a black grease at the hinge, anyone know what it is and or a food safe alternative? Thanks

Thanks guys. I actually put it in my pocket to try out carrying a traditional before I spent the money on a Beer Scout and something else. Wasn't a fan of the clip or long pull until I spent some time sharpening it and then pulled it out and used it the first time. I like it a lot now.

Brandon,
Since it had some kind of grease from the factory, there may be some old grease stuck in the pivot thats gumming it up. You'll probably need some kind of solvent to clear that out, then a normal wash and dry to get rid of the solvent. I recommend M-Pro 7. Its marketed as a gun cleaning solvent but it is non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-flammable, biodegradable, and environmentally safe. It doesn't say "food safe" but my guess is that being able to put that on a product requires a lot more testing and $$. I don't have a lubricant to recommend, I'm looking for one currently too. Good luck with the search and I hope you get that beautiful knife back the way you like it.

Yep Harry, Mom and Dad gave me and my brother one for Christmas last year. It goes nice with my Henry Frontier (black receiver and octogon barrel). They both shoot superrrrrr smooth.

One of my absolute favourites these days Brett. Glad to see another one pop up. I love mine and the snap is unbelievable.

Haha he gets treated like royalty at home anyways ;) I switch out the polaroids in my daily carry occasionally. Family, pup, friends.

I took this photo yesterday and would like to say I photoshopped it, but the smudge on my iphone made a great golden haze fading effect at the edges. I love this 54 Jack. Great for apples, steak, cardboard, you name it. If the joints get a little sticky from apples I've found that the radio jack works great for gently easing the blades out with the long pulls. BTW, any suggestions on lubricating the joints. I have washed this a few times and dried thoroughly then applied mineral oil. It just doesn't have the same snap closure that it used to. I noticed these knives start off with a black grease at the hinge, anyone know what it is and or a food safe alternative? Thanks

First off..beautiful knife. I'm a sucker for slanted bolsters. Second off, I'd flush with mineral oil and then put in some 10weight nano oil. If your mineral bath doesn't work..does it sound gritty at all? Perhaps there's gunk in there or perhaps slight corrosion?
