Nanc is putting together the Fall display out front and I honestly had this Orange Jigged Bone 66 Jack that arrived Saturday:thumbsup: It actually helped by cutting Sisal to help the scarecrow stand upright:thumbsup:

Beautiful knife, Paul. :)
I really like the #66 Jacks, and the color on yours is amazing.
And thanks for bringing some Fall color to the Porch, I can't wait for my favorite season.

Raining today, thunder & lightning since 0300 and the highest King Tide I've ever seen off the ICW. Gotta go drop my boat off the lift and around to the town ramp so I can trailer it inland ahead of the storm. I think stainless steel and a light rain jacket will be the order of the day! Case 63032SS. OH

Man, be careful out there. I'm sure you've been through as many or more than me and know it can get bad or worse fast. Just be safe
 
View attachment 1189471 I wouldn’t say I’d been looking diligently for this, just casually keeping an eye out for one to carry and use. This is the exact model of Camillus EO Jack that my Mom’s Dad carried that I have essentially retired. On Grandpa’s, the secondary has a broken backspring, and the main has quite a bit of sharpening loss. This guy has a lot of wear, to be sure, but relatively full blades, at least the main, and strong snaps. It came up as one of the “other items you might be interested in” while killing time looking at vintage Camillus knives on the auction site. I don’t know how one could mistake this lovely old cocobolo for plastic, but that’s what the seller thought it was.
I have spent quite a bit of time looking for this in old Camillus catalogs online, and did find this model, but in bone or stag, in a 1928 catalog. I plan to carry and use this knife a lot.View attachment 1189468View attachment 1189472 I’m also going to be carrying this Cattaraugus electrician today~View attachment 1189469

Good luck,OH. That storm looks really nasty & they still can't predict where it's going to go after it rips up everything to shreds in the Bahamas. We don't have much trouble with hurricanes here in the mountains of Pennsylvania, but we have kids & siblings that live in FL, so we know the drill.

For Labor Day I'm carrying a very old friend that has seen its share of hard work since I bought it 49 years ago.

Love it. Our Grandfathers might have made do with only one knife like your UH~ that’s pretty much the case with mine. And my Grandpa used them hard, but kept them stunningly sharp.

Happy Labor Day. Reducing tomatoes and processing beans...

That should get the patina going!
I’m about to start in on the same. In my case, I am canning my second batch of salsa.
Not freezing or canning the beans this year~ I just pick them every day, and we eat them as we go. Zucchini too, of course. Usually just sauteed in olive oil with onion and tomatos.

49 years, wow! Any chance you remember what you paid? It’s always relevant but I think my first 34OT in the mid 80’s was between. $12-15. Today’s price puts it at $29-37,which is sort of interesting because that’s what you can get them for regularly on the big auction site. Either way, pretty neat you still use it:thumbsup:

What a great find, congratulations!
The Catt electrician isn't too shabby, either. ;)

It's Labor Day, but I've got a few hard workers with me. I hope everybody in the storm's path stays safe.

Thanks kindly, r8shell!
It looks like your Hartshead has a patina head start, but the whittler is on it’s way.
