You did well at the flea mkt/estate sale! You just never know what you’ll find among the dozens of clapped out, rusty, Imperial cub scout knives with broken blades. I have 2 of those full sized Case trappers, and they’re fine knives- hefty and very well made.2015 Case Trapper in what i now believe to be amber jigged bone. First time out. Another flea market/estate sale salvage. Appeared to be never used, never carried. Had some rust, but cleaned up spectacularly. Very likable knife, well made. The recessed pins are a little strange, not sure why they did it, but all four are that way.

Finished cutting my grass I minute before the storm. I really like that #54 big jack of yours, linen Micarta?
I remember pondering a purchase of one of those for too long, and then they were gone. They lingered at the
dealers for a long time, I missed out on a fine knife there.
Yep- good eye. Linen micarta. This was my first GEC, found it used on the auction site. I don’t understand why it’s not more popular~you just don’t see too many. Maybe too big? Seems perfect to me.
Yeah, I finished mowing in a light rain, then Dad and I sat and watched it pick up. Didn’t really live up to the hype that the weather readers predicted, though.
