That's a sturdy looking Scout, GT. The G-10 covers suit it, I love the shield, and it even has a philips head :thumbsup: :cool:

Yeah, this is going in the pocket tomorrow.

Thanks for the supporting my new scout, r8shell.:) I'm always in-favor of an in-line philips driver! :thumbsup:
I admire the uniform "all over" patina on your Hammer Brand jack! :cool: If I had a knife like that, I'd feel obligated to start pumping iron to try to make my arms (or maybe just one :rolleyes:) look like the tang stamp! :D

That sheepfoot joke made me laugh, Gary. You are right, work today wasn't really workin'
That is a nice looking Scout. It that G10 or Micarta scales?

Thank you very much GT, the yellow in that photo is a rape seed crop, pretty common in this area, with Sandal Castle above :thumbsup:

Thanks again pal, sorry to hear you're having to work :( I'm hoping to get to a local history seminar if I can manage to find my way through the route of Leeds Half Marathon, which (along with a different event virtually every weekend) has cut me off from the city centre :rolleyes: Hope you've got something good planned for your break :) :thumbsup:

Thanks for the agricultural report, Jack. I grew up on an American farm, but have no idea what rape seed is (but Google is my friend).:)

Hope you made it safely to your seminar and avoided collisions with single-minded half-marathoners! :p
I generally enjoy my work, but I'm finding in my "golden years" that there can definitely be too much of a good thing! :eek::rolleyes: When I get a little discretionary time, I think I'll be working on organizing my knives more efficiently, updating my carry schedule, and trying to catch up on some BF-related correspondence that should have happened long ago!

Imperial MOTS jack (I sharpened up the secondary blade - except near the tang :( - and used that for some slicing, just as a sharpening and small blade experiment)

Wow--outstanding knives Ladies and Gents! Just trying to catch-up...

Safe Travels Harry! And, GT, just what kind of ancient weapon would you like me to (attempt) to make? :D

Is that the bark river city knife? How is it for slicing? Is the stock thin enough that you can cut onions and a roast up in a pinch? I am thinking I need another all around utility knife and I do like those.

And where did you get the pocket sheath?

Thanks!

Yes, that is the Bark River City Knife. The pocket sheath is called the Adirondack, and came with three I purchased (can't remember which 3 though :)). Not sure if you could slice a roast, the blades are a little short for that at 2.6 inches. An onion? I don't know, maybe? Let's find out :D:



It is .14 inches thick, but the blade is fully convexed so that aids in slicing.

More or less need to dig the ends out.



Not the thinnest slice in the world but the blade went right through it.



Decently thin slices once the onion was halved.



A little better at rough cutting.



Not too bad at dicing, but a kitchen knife would have been easier.




Overall it did ok. A kitchen knife would have been more efficient, but it did alright for what they are, handy little fixed blades.

I have no choice some days, but to pocket this exceptionally good #77 Barlow. The walk and talk is absolutely incredible. The blades sing like a siren's song on closing. And I personally find the canvas micarta covers to epitomize the hard use philosophy that the Barlow pattern stands for. A large spear and small sheepsfoot are my favorite blade combination to have in a knife. So much utility value in one pocketknife.
