My Canoe for this week is a stag Rough Rider:

Nice pic of the canoe GT! I have not explored that pattern yet; the enablers here have me questioning why that is .

Somehow I managed to walk out the door this morning without my intended carry knives, so I dug my emergency backup out of my center console.

Excellent, Mark. :thumbup:

Very good photo of that Texas beauty, Alan!


I've been carrying this Scout in my watch pocket since I got it (and will probably continue to do so).

Whetstone 39 I like that sak, is it a cadet? The orange looks good.

I'm packin' my 301 that I dropped the spey profile on yesterday, much, much better!

Thanks Dean. I bought it to give to one of my sons who loves out there. But it's too nice so I kept it, lol.

Interesting knife Jer :thumbup:

I confess that I didn't really play marbles much, I just liked to collect pretty ones. We used to play jacks (the game with the ball and spiky things) and I was a champ at pick-up-sticks. I think those were more popular girl's games back then vs. marbles.

I bought my friend's daughter a compendium of old 'playground games' recently. It included both marbles and jacks. Back in the 1920's here (and maybe at other times), a game called 'pitch and toss', which I think was similar to jacks was very popular here. In the 'Sheffield Gang Wars' pf the 20's and 30's, there was a good deal of fighting over who controlled the pitch & toss rings in the city!

GT and Jack Black : Thank you very much for the kind remarks on my Case Pen Knife . My Wife bought it for me about 8 years ago , I had never carried it before . It is a 1940 to 1964 vintage one .

Thanks for the extra info Harry, it's a special knife for sure :thumbup:

Looks like all you need Gary :thumbup:

Cool pic Gevo :thumbup:

Thanks, Jack!

That watch pocket Barlow is a nice looking knife! GEC did a good job on the sawcut bone on those little gems. :thumbup:

Thanks Dean, I should carry it more, as I should my Ancient :thumbup:

Can't go wrong with those two, Jack! :thumbup:

Thanks my friend

Thanks, Jack. I don't remember the rules or terminology of our marbles game either (nor do I remember the rules of our jack knife games). I DO recall that we always played a game with a "pot" that we dug into the ground with the heel of a shoe, and I think it involved everyone putting a marble in the pot as an ante, then standing behind a line quite a ways from the pot and rolling our "boulders" ("bowlers" would make more sense) or "shooters" toward the hole. I don't think we ever "shot" a marble by flicking it with our thumbs.

Very interesting GT The games we played in the school yard were just between two boys. You placed so many marbles on the grate first I think, that number being agreed first, (you could mix the marbles to combine to the agreed 'value'), and the type of grate had two ready-made 'pots'. From what I can remember, there seemed to be a degree of strategy to it, and I don't think we 'shot' them either.

Cool pic Gevo :thumbup:

Thanks Paul. It is a Pioneer I think: blade, can opener, bottle opener, and awl. Right? Nice mod btw, well done :thumbup:

Thanks Tom, I had to sit it in a puddle of water to get the pic! No harm done though :thumbup:

Bizarrely, after making my post, including ruminating about marbles, I opened a magazine I had purchased in Sheffield, to find a three page article entitled 'Schoolboy Games of the 1950's'! Sadly, while 'Splits' or (Mumblety-peg) is discussed in some detail, the game of marbles is not included

Thanks, Jack.
I remember playing marbles only once. My big brother and a friend of his were playing one of those games with a pot. They let me play and I won all the pots until they decided the game was over.
