black mamba , I like the single blonde streak on that one Jeff.
Love a Gator. A working knife.Case Yellow Trapper and a Case CV PEANUT in Yellow! Plus my SAK and Gerber Gator!
Thanks, Jake. I've been very lucky in life. Except the Hammer pruner took umbrage at a perceived slight from my comment about guano and its shield, as it just bit me. After I posted the pics, my wife asked for some help with putting up pine roping and boxwood "accents" around our exterior doors. I was used to my not-as-sharp Sabre pruner and was moving quite swiftly until I saw blood. A minor cut and I used two of the Band Aids that I carried with that 12 blade Fightin' Rooster a day ago. Lesson learned - no more guano jokes.You have a great collection Stuart. Very unique and nice pieces.
For Wooden Wednesday, I'm totin' a couple of older fellas. A New York Knife Co. Hammer Brand pruner. So appropriate that a pruner bears a shield for a fertilizer company. I date this knife at 1890-1921 (1890 was when the guano company was founded in Hawaii and 1932 was the end of the NYKC Hammer line).

Country songs just keep getting better!You know, when cars and trucks become self driving, country songs can include your truck leaving you too!
Helping a friend swap his 350 hp 350 for a 455 hp 383 in his 66 Chevy truck. So g10 it is to resist the oil and grease.
