[Railsplitter]

Carrying a Queen #09 Stockman with American Walnut covers. My first new traditional in 32 months. No pic yet...

Trand, long time no see. Good to see you back!

These two today, the #77 rode in the front pocket while doing yard work. The #15 is here for when it's time to crack a beer or two or three or....

Change of plans.

I was on my way back from lunch when I was hit in the face by a huge glint.
I look over to see a table of shiny new wrenches at the local flea market and had to stop ( he had a few hundred Craftsman ratcheting combos of the same size which must've been liquidated )
I instantly spied this Klein electrician when I got up there and it had to follow me home for $5.
After flushing it out, fixing the blunted tip, and sharpening it I just had to drop it in my pocket.

Good score!
Kleins are one of the sinfully ignored brands in work-utility knives. Great quality for dirt cheap.
I have been thinking of grabbing one of their 3 blade radio electricians.

Just so lambertiana! Looks like yours has been around a while. What’s the year of manufacture on yours?

1996. I got it in 1996 or 1997.

I am definitely liking it so far.

The guy also had another TL-29 type knife there which was probably a Klein but the blade was so worn out that I only looked at it for half a second before walking over to his pile of $1 rusty wrenches with this paid for knife in hand.

Pocketing these two today, my ebony Lambsfoot, and my first GEC and first forum knife, gifted to me by Duncan @Campbellclanman, treasured always

That is quite the introduction to GEC! Seeing pics of the 85 Harness Jack is what got me to start visiting the Porch on a regular basis.

That one is a Case 6383 split-back whittler from the 70’s. They are fairly common and shouldn’t be too hard to locate. It is a very efficient way to get three blades into a slim package.

Today’s carry.

Thanks for the info, Travman. I instantly did a search and was surprised to see what some of the older ( 40's and earlier ) are going for. I saw one for almost a thousand!

Beautiful ol' barehead!

Just back from Glennbad, what may be the world's first Beerbelly!

Now that is cool!

Yet another wonderful old Camillus, Steve. Not getting tired of your photos, my friend.
What is the closed length?

Thanks, it's 3 5/8"

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, capo, it works great, too!

Oh, I could just get lost in that grain...


I have to get a little dressed up today. I believe this little pinstriped acrylic Esquire will suffice.

Decided to put the Tribal lock in my pocket today.

[strokednbored]

I've been away for a few weeks, just busy as I've ever been with the rest of life.
This showed up today and I think it's gonna ride with me this week.
