Thanks sitflyer,Primble and btb01 the Tina is a German made knife, about the only carbon bladed folder I now have, gifted to me from Ken from Australia, nice with the longer handle and short blade, lots of control and quite pointy!

see this thread here One day I'll give one of the larger Tina sheeps foot a go.

and yes that Opinel was a disappointment for sure, I'm surprised they still have that sharpened description on their site, quite misleading. As to grinding it down, I don't know that it has much of a hardness as it's meant only to pry with so it might be more spring like temper and wouldn't hold an edge well, plus I don't have the means of removing that much metal I just sent her back, sadly!

and the Tina goes out again today

Thanks for the info, Gary! I realize now that Tina is the brand name of the knife… I thought for a second you had just given your knife a name!

I came to the same conclusion once I realized the Opinel wasn't sharpened at all. If it had actually been sharpened at the tip, maybe the hardness might have been good to sharpen the rest, but as it is, I'm guessing the hardness isn't correct for an edge, and putting one on it would be pointless (I also don't have the time nor tools to do that on a "blade" that isn't ground for an edge at all).

These two are with me today,

A puukko that Karl Erik Lindblad made for me with a damascus blade forged by Göran Enocksson, curly birch handle with reindeer spacer, along with a Lanny's Clip by Phillip "Doc" Hagen, beautifully hand ground blade by Doc and some nice Sambar stag covers.

Nice clasp knife Donn. I have one of those Bucks, was sent it for review many years ago, and have never carried it! :thumbup:

Quality Gary :thumbup:

Don't blame you :thumbup:

After sharpening it, I ended up slipping this one in my pocket along with my Radio Jack :thumbup:

I took my little buddy and some of his friends along when Pam and I went to visit our daughter over the holidays. My Dad started to work on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in 1946, after he got back home from WW2. He started out as a Clerk and then was promoted to an Agent. The Agent was the person that was in charge of the depot during their respective shifts. He retired in 1988 from the same railroad, or what by then had turned into the Seaboard Coastline, which now is the CSX Transportation. I never pass up a chance to stop and visit exhibits of old L&N trains and the restored Depots are always great. During my younger years I spent a lot of fun filled Saturdays hanging around depots. That is where I developed my love of pocket knives. The train crews always were trading and showing off their new knives. So over the Thanksgiving Holiday this is just one of the many things that I have to be thankful for. A Father that worked hard and loved and cared for his family.
Hope everyone is safe and sound on this rainy Sunday!

Aye the Buck was a gift over 10 years ago and I've never used it. The opportunity arose for a big locker so it's eventually seen the light of day.
The clasp knife is one by 'J. Adams'.

Think the Buck came to me in 1994! Interesting about your clasp knife, I thought they put the Nowill name on their clasp knives. I've read that Jack Adams is Sheffield's oldest working grinder :thumbup:

 

[RDaneel]

Still carrying the #72.

That is a great looking knife, Erik! The jigging and color are just superb! Well done photo.

Ron, thanks for the story about your Dad and depots. Nice knife, too!

I'm carrying my new Tascosa again today. Elegant and functional knife. Just looks classy on a Sunday. Christmas tree is up!

 

[Whetstone39]

That is a cool patina on your F&F Bill :thumbup:

For me today:

 

[hunterjrg]

Hey Dan, my bloodied fixed blade is a T. Bose pattern done by Rick Menefee. His stamp is "Menefee Made" utilizing one big "M". The scales are maple.

Very nice. I prefer a slim profile for dressing whitetails. What is the blade length?

 

[Gary W. Graley]

Thanks Jack it's an amazing little folder to be sure!

Thanks Tom! I cut up a burrito when I first got it and I guess the salsa caused it. I really like that Beer Scout. I passed on one just like it a few days ago and I've been kicking myself ever since.

Essential and a Pemberton

Very impressive duo Kris, Reindeer works to great effect on puukkot in my view. Stag is always best Barehead somehow:thumbup:

Moss always makes a fine bed for any knife Jack, good grain on that S&M

Stag and Stainless today

That trapper is as clean as they come Ron! That reg jigged is something else

Fantastically captured TC Tim. That shot is magazine material. :thumbup:

Thank you for the kind words Dan, I used to work as a photographer so I've been enjoying taking these shots and revitalising some enjoyment in photos.

Beautiful wood on your Charlow, Tim! That looks like a beer I'll have to check out some time. I was ecstatic today to discover at the grocery store that Leinenkugel Snowdrift Vanilla Porter is back on the shelf for its "seasonal" run.

I think there's only one knife I'm totin' this week that I haven't shown yet. It's a relatively-new large (5" closed) Marbles lady leg knife with white bone and stag handles and a scrimshaw owl (don't tell pertinux ):

- GT

Thank you GT, haha it's definitely a good one. I believe it's only a MA beer though so the next best thing is a Young's Double Chocolate Stout.
I love the scrimshaw detailing on that lady leg

This has beat out my bullnose as my most constant everyday carry.
