GT, Those Black Box knives are sleepers for sure.Man, the reputation of those Black Box Winchesters is certainly well-deserved! Stellar stockman, FBC!![]()
Wish you speedy recovery, hope the cuts are not deep, u have a sharp knife, and maintained well.Somehow the Beer Scout snapped closed on my middle finger today. Yesterday I sliced my pointer finger while cleaning knives. So now I have two fingers bandaged up and can barely open and close my knives.

That sling shot looks capable enough
Thanks, Jack. The photo is a couple of years old, but since we've vacationed in the same spot for 28 years, it's still timely.

Nothing like some two-fisted lambsfooting to help maintain a grasp on reality!

Yeah, I like my Imperials (and Colonials) as well as almost any of my knives I think. The nostalgia factor is big for a geezer like me, but I also think they cut as well as any knife I've got.
Here's a Colonial I'm carrying this week (and last week and next week - didn't have time to carefully select knives for vacation, and just kept the ones I carried last week and grabbed a handful of others):

When I'm in New York, I will be eating the opposite of that pizza.I'm in San diego visiting my parents. We went to Lefty's for some proper Chicago style deep dish.

Was the Beer Scout opening a few beers? Shouldn't play with knives while drinking!
I really like the woodland shots! Nature has recuperative powers, as does carrying a couple of favorite pocket knives! Good to hear the recovery progresses.
That’s a looker for sure! I think I like the pile side better, but that’s fluid.Thank you. I have seen a lot of variation in the coloring of stag, but I don't know it's because of natural variation, or because of treatment with chemicals like potassium permanganate. I assume mine is natural, since the pile side looks very different.

Wow! Very fine woodworking, sir!
Of course he did.Are you trying to say you made that by hand with just that little knife![]()
Still like that ivory Colonial jack! Which knife are you whittling with while vacationing?Here's a Colonial I'm carrying this week (and last week and next week - didn't have time to carefully select knives for vacation, and just kept the ones I carried last week and grabbed a handful of others):

Have you ever tried super glue?
It really works, in fact that was it’s original purpose when it was invented during the war in Vietnam.
