Today this awesome 501 that my youngest gifted me for Father’s Day starts earning its keep.
She said she bought it to be used so meet my new work knife. Buck 501 with nickel silver frame and bolsters, linen micarta scales and S35VN blade steel. She a looker and I’m going to find out if she’s as tough as she is pretty. View attachment 1385813View attachment 1385814

Same here. I think it's been in the 90s, with high humidity for the last two weeks, and less than a quarter inch of rain all month. Since I've gotten older, I'd be fine if it was October all year round. I've been staying with stainless for a while.

Going with this Queen I got in 1993. It is a handful as the closed length is 5 1/4”.

Pretty impressive haul with so many types and those are FAR bigger than the wild strawberries I've found, I'm jealous.

Don’t be, the strawberries are some randoms in my garden, blueberries, huckleberries are in season right now grow wild along with the blackberries that are not quite there yet. I can get a pint of blueberries/huckleberries every other day if I beat the deer, turkey’s, squirrels and every other critter big and small that finds them tasty, I’ve yet to surprise a bear......yet.

Nice haul Pete Blackberries won't be ready here for a couple of weeks here, but I managed to gather just enough for a small crumble yesterday

same here, a few were early, I have a few bushes outside the fenced part of my garden that I’m experimenting with fertilizing them with fish fertilizer to see if I can get a better yield and better fruit than the others that I didn’t fertilize.
still can’t get my image to show just the link?

Started the day with a hearty breakfast and headed out for a walk with my wife. Had the Nessmi and a Norfolk with me. I've been pairing this Nessmi with every pocket knife I like to carry. It's still checking the boxes for me. I can beat it up a little as it was not an expensive knife. I like it a lot!

It's one hot day here, and as we were about half way through our regular neighborhood route a text message arrives stating that there's a power outage in our area. I looked at my wife and and asked if she had a house key with her, I don't carry one myself. No she doesn't. Do you have the fob to the car we park in the driveway, that has a house key in the glovebox? No she doesn't. OK, if our power is out we're locked out with no way to get in our house. That'll be interesting. I pull out the smartphone, open the automatic garage door app and hopefully touch the open button. As we rounded the corner approaching home we could see the garage door was open, so the power was on. We did lose it for a short while 30 minutes later. It's back on now, hopefully it'll stay that way.
I guess I better hide a key somewhere outside ....

Close call... Hiding a key would be wise.
BTW, your breakfast looks amazing.

Just carry one with you--they're pretty small. Smaller than a knife.

Most days lately, one version or another...

I try to be wise. I've had a good breakfast since I retired, years ago. When I was working I'd run out the door with a cup of coffee.

That would be a good idea too! Since I'm going to hide one I can avoid carrying one though.

Love the grinds & finish on that blade.

Sorry, Gary! I just can't imagine not carrying one. I keep as few keys as possible on my key chain, but it is an EDC. Key chain has one front door key, one mailbox key, one car key (for my main vehicle), and two office keys.

For the first time I can recall in...a year? Two? I pocketed only my cheerful little Cadet and didn't accompany it with a modern folder. I'd forgotten the simple pleasure of a small, slim, light knife that gets dropped in my RFP and forgotten until it's needed.

I totally get it, Vince! I used to carry a keyring, with all the necessary every day keys, but since retiring and driving two cars that have the fob starter pushbutton (that was a learning curve), I just avoid keys. One less thing in the pockets. Knives, wallet, smartphone and grab a fob on the way out the door, and I'm good to go.

Nice pairing JJ, I like the jigging on your S&M, classy knife

Thanks a lot, Jack!!!

Starting off my week with these two today, hope everyone has a good one

The ebony covered gunstock really goes well with your Hartshead; a pair of very stout fellows!

 

[RDaneel]

I'm carrying this Case stockman in CV steel today.

Toting these two jacks for today; a 1920s-30s Keen Kutter Barlow and a GEC Eureka.
