John Lloyd Rabbit knife still in my pocket

Accompanying my GEC #43 today is a Case CV sowbelly stockman. It feels very familiar in my hand, having the same relative bulk and weight of a common scout knife. I love how the cant of all 3 blades works with the shape of the handle, to make using the knife always comfortable, no matter which blade you’re using. The design is incredibly well though out and executed. I dig the nice wide sheepsfoot. Case really needs to do justice to this amazing knife, and do a 154CM run.

Case has the best jigging around. Really cool knife you have there =)

Yes, a 501. With all the talk about having Buck make this year's forum knife, the talk has centered on the 301/303 series. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the 501.

I am still holdin' out for my suggested #35 split spring whittler with a punch.
The 501 is a very pocket friendly little lockback that is super capable. Think Buck would do one with goood ol' carbon steel?

Sticking with a winner eh? I saw The Clash at Victoria Park in 1978

That had to be a fantastic show! I regret that I never got to see them live.

I guess I could console myself with knowing your A/C will be running in a few weeks!

Carrying the Schrade sunshine (thanks r8shell for two of these!) since there’s not much sunshine outdoors today. Well, technically, there is sunshine, but it’s being filtered by sleet.
Love Doc Watson!

Great tunes and knives!

Thanks for the confirmation, FBC. I'll have to make time to dig out my "Gypsy Cowboy" LP and give it a spin.

Great album, I don't think I have that one on vinyl.
The bone on that Humpback is lookin' reeeal goood.
the others look great too but those Humpbacks always catch my eye.

It was my friend, some other great bands on the line-up too. The Clash also played in Sheffield, but I was at school at the time, and nobody had heard of them anyway!

Great tunes to go with your Moore Maker

Another week. Carrying my Unity Lambsfoot today, along with a Queen Canoe in D2

Again here in the Forum, but always in my pocket!!!

Great pics Donn, hoping we get some better weather soon

Aye from snow to rain and drizzle. Think I prefer the white stuff...

When I was a lad, my mom would sometimes advise/command me to "speak only when spoken to" and that's the wisdom I'm going to try to follow to catch up here. Thanks, Mom!

OK, I'm already ignoring Mom's advice since donn didn't explicitly address me, but I think of this as a continuation of our dialog over his meat pies series of photos. Splendid Ankermesser and Farmer, sir!

LOL 5K! When I was a lad my mum would command (she never advised ) to "eat up, and don't talk with your mouth full"! And that's wisdom I've followed ever since . Just so I could fit in all the pies
I actually thought of you when I posted that. It's a pork and apple pie from Haffners Butchers in the town of Burnley in the county of Lancashire. A fine pie. But what was finer was the pork and black pudding pie that followed

And because this website is apparently to do with knives and not northern English delicacies I'll post another pic of my really useful Anker knife which has just fit the bill for all the jobs I've been doing for the past week.

Were they still going then?

When I saw them in 1978, the line-up included X-Ray Spex, Aswad, Misty, (later Misty in Roots), Steel Pulse, The Tom Robinson Band, and Jimmy Pursey (from Sham69) jammed with The Clash. Good gig

I wondered why I would sometimes see the mailman tooling around on Sundays, then I found out that it’s because of Amazon.
Nice new NF!

I’m Totin these two Cases today.

Okay, you win. They were past their prime, in town filming the video to "Rock the Casbah". Not my favorite, but the video is interesting to watch, because Austin looks nothing like that now.

ps. I know some of you still have snow and don't want to hear it, but I don't care for Spring. The jungle is taking over.

This old thing.....

 

[Buzzbait]

It's big knife day today for dear old 'Buzz. The ever present GEC #43 is with me again today, and riding shotgun for my daily dose of Case is a really cool Case trapper. I think this one is maybe an SFO for Shepherd Hills Cutlery, but I'm not positive. It has Case's bonestag covers, which are actually quite nice. The wood saw definitely ups the gadget factor on this knife, which I prefer over the usual long spay blade. The Case trapper is a pretty hefty knife. Not as heavy duty as their folding hunter, but much more solid feeling than most of their offerings. It feels like a GEC, if that makes any sense. The blade grind isn't as thin as smaller Case knives, and more like the thickness of GEC's grinds. Fit and finish is bang on.

My only criticism of the Case is that the non-cutting edges of the wood saw aren't very well rounded. So if you're using the clip blade, the spine and tang of the wood saw tend to cut into your hand a bit. But it isn't only Case that has this issue. I think that every wood saw I've ever used on a pocketknife has suffered from this problem. But better that than a wood saw with tumbled and rounded saw teeth. All in all, Case gets top marks on this knife. The size is great for outdoor work. It's looks a lot more classy than most knives with blades of this length. Construction is more robust than I'm accustomed to from Case. Pulls are an easy 5 or 6, with great snap, It's a sweet knife, overall. Other than the rather soft heat treat on the Tru-Sharp stainless clip blade, this knife is crafted as well as any GEC I've encountered.
