Do roughnecks or lumberjacks get any love in the wild?

Nice pairing - good match on the stag!

Thank you sir. That patriotic bone Case of yours is a nice pick as well.

Very nice!
A wishful combo, for me -that is

Thanks, I appreciate the comment, friend.

Its not shiny or MIT But it's got a certain beauty and I like using it, GEC 83. Sunny Sunday here but autumn beckons...let's all enjoy our day wherever we may be.

That's awesome, Will! Killer stag!

Again today, but this time I cut up an apple for my bosses horse. I also did a bit of whittling on a oak burl, trying to whittle a wooden ball.

Cool picture! Nice looking knife, as well!

We finally had some much needed rain last week, so the mushrooms & fungi back growing in the woods.

That is a great picture there! Well done!

Buck 301 today:

Wishing everyone a restful Labor Day!

I have the 301 forum knife from a couple years ago. Great knife. I don't carry it too often because it's a little larger than I like generally. But every time I see these black 301s posted, I think I gotta get me one of those. Seems like sound reasoning, huh?

Where's Half/Stop Ron been?

Thanks for asking John! With some things that happened it seemed like a good time to step back and spend some time away from the forum. Our daughter has been in for a visit so I’ve just been spending some quality time with my family.

I have the Forum knife too, but I prefer the standard 301. Several reasons: the Forum knife has nice elk scales, but the sawcut Valox (or whatever it's called) on the standard 301 gives a great grip. Also, it's thicker and feels better in the hand. And I prefer having three blades on my stockmans. Also, the steel on the Forum knife is fine (CPM 154), but it's harder to sharpen. The standard 420HC is great, easy to sharpen, and gets wicked sharp. Plus, the Forum knife has sharp edges on the bolsters and is not as comfortable to hold and use as the standard 301. I am glad I have the Forum knife, but I carry the regular stockman far more often. You should get one--it's a classic. I think the only thing I don't like about it is that the pull is kind of light. Compared to my Case and GEC knives. But I have had no problems using it.

Time well spent.
Glad to see you back, my friend.

 

[Half/Stop]

I thought I’d drop in for a quick visit. I hope y’all are doing well. I’ve been celebrating my birthday today with my family. Lots of food and a little relaxing for the old man. In the pocket I’ve had a wee Sambar Lambsfoot that I got from my good friend Jack @Jack Black and my Micarta TC Forum knife. Y’all stay safe out there!

Very well spent my friend! Thank you John!

Not sure what model, but I just cleaned up an old, OldTimer:

Really nice so far, all the blades sharpened up well. I also like how the blades have that “old feel” to them - sort of a “Stonewash” you could say?

Happy birthday Half/Stop !
