Been carrying this everyday for the last couple weeks since I finished it. Main reason being that the edge has held up better than any other knife I own!!! I managed to slightly dull it last night doing some abusive things with it under the dash of my car and I stropped it quick this morning fully understanding that it would need a quick go thru with the Lansky later to full clear it up. Much to my surprise, the strop took out 90% of issue and tho I can see two very very small areas that the edge isnt keen, it still sharp as can be and will get me thru the day! Love it. The texture of the scales is great and Ive found myself handling it often like you would a worry stone.

Very nicely done!

I'm still in a black & white, piano key kind of mood.

Recently acquired this Buck 309 made in 2003. It's been doing battle with a few 305s but it won out today.

Well since today was Wednesday, and since I have neglected it for sometime now, I decided to carry my #79 Ebony Workhorse. :D

Another iconic knife, Ron! :thumbsup: I suppose I could call it the Platonic ideal for a double ended jack. ;)

Thanks, Gary! I look forward to your scratting project. :thumbsup:

On Wooden Wednesday I had my ebony TC with me.

Dean, I think my MAM sheepsfoot, whose pic I posted yesterday, may be the victim of any scratting experiment I try. That ebony spearpoint TC is tremendously charismatic! :cool:

So, this is on purpose patina, as opposed to the not on purpose patina I was whining about last week. We had a little party and I had to cut up some lemons and limes. The freshly cleaned 48 came out. Here's the result and this is my first patina that I purposely knew was going to happen and I like the start of it. Of course I plan to just continue with this one.

Very nice, Alan! :cool: With its long, lean profile and the lemon/lime patina spots, that knife reminds me of a leopard! :eek::thumbsup:

That's an EPIC TC. :thumbsup:
I know, I know, but I couldn't help myself. :oops:
How often does an opportunity like this present itself? :D

Thanks, Dee. :)
Your EPIC comment was great! :D
And I had the same question as r8shell about that intriguing little folder - thanks for the ID! :thumbsup:

Thanks GT! Pioneer, my second favorite model, farmer is my first "love". Outstanding Imperial, great pic too (insert thumb up here, can't figure out how to do that on my phone).

Thanks for the Pioneer info. I'm not sure what my favorite Alox model is. There are so many cool models, but I suppose many, if not all, could be considered variations of the Pioneer (or Soldier). I certainly like the Farmer, but I'd never give up my Electrician! :rolleyes:

I agree that's a special knife, Paul! :thumbsup: (Disagree on the Patriot propaganda, however. :thumbsdown:;))

... As for your carry this week--there is something very intriguing about that all steel Imperial... what's the story there?
Click to expand...
davek14 rescued that little Imperial from a junk box at a knife shop he frequented, restored it to useable form, and generously sent it to me. :thumbsup: It's just a standard "clamshell" construction Imperial with single-piece bolsters/cover fastened to the liners with little clips. I suspect it originally had some kind of thin synthetic layer glued onto the covers to give it some color and texture, but that "cover treatment" is usually the first thing to go. I took that little knife with me when I went to visit my daughter in Spain.

Really like the jigging on that one, Matt, and the mirror-polished edge is also noteworthy! :thumbsup:

I'm totally rocking the Beaver Tail today.

Speaking of jigging, I'm just floored by the jigging on your Beaver Tail, Buzz!!! :thumbsup: Can't believe it's jigged WOOD! :eek:
My terminology may be wrong, but that's what I'd call "peachseed" jigging and is very reminiscent (for me, at least) of some of the famous old Schrade covers. :cool:

Nice RR Gary! And thanks for your allusion to my patina spots. I had not thought about that?

Alan, I can't answer your question! If you get tired of trying to figure it you can send that beautiful thing to Tennessee and let me worry about it for awhile!!:eek::D
