Thanks, that rough sawn finish on the TC “works” IMO. The Madison has darkened quite a bit over the years. I really like the way Osage ages. The TC will look better and better as the years pass.

I am not particularly enthusiastic about Chinese made knives, but I saw an HCOA splitback whittler on Ebay yesterday and it was extremely done.
They nailed the split backspring and it looked to have excellent F&F.

Pipedream, I have the 25-1/2 small Coke-bottle jack from that same year 2000 Case set - I think I will carry it tomorrow in honor of seeing your Peanut (my knife’s long lost cousin). OH

If case released

I sure hope the mini coke bottle returns from the vault in the next few years, if they release one in CV and a green bone like this I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

The Case Crimson Peachseed jigged bone Sodbuster Jr I got recently looked like the jigging machine messed up and planed off the top of the bone on both front and back. I wasn’t happy with it so I sent it back for a replacement. The replacement was just as bad. I suppose I will contact Case directly and see what happens.

Looks to be the same jigging on my amber bone knives, I think it supposed to be like that. However I wouldn't call it peachseed with those flats exactly either.

lol GT , too funny :D, I had to google it believe it or not. I had heard the term but never got around to find its meaning (so many phrases and words I have still yet to learn in English ... but the awful thing is that I am forgetting my Spanish :eek:)
We speak Spanglish at home :thumbsup::cool:

I apologize for not remembering who this one belongs to. I, uh, borrowed this picture to compare it to mine. This one looks like what Case’s picture looks like and mine doesn’t.

This one is Stainless Steel, but is a fine knife - don’t pass one up if its only available in SS.

Outstanding! That’s a beauty!

Thanks Todd. That was the first modern Case Knife I ever bought. I picked it out of a set 16 years ago at a small gasoline engine repair shop - they had a HUGE selection of Case Knives (sadly they are out of the knife business now). I didn’t understand then how Case did business - that nearly everything was a limited run set for only that year - I would have bought a few more green handled knives. The Peanut you own is equally beautiful - a great green that I haven’t seen again. OH

How are the ice trails made?
Click to expand...

The operator of one of the trails close to home owns an excavation company and has the required machinery
( tractors, water tanks etc ) and owns a lot of forested land. He decided to do this during the slow winter season and it has proven a total success.

From what I understand as soon as he has a snow base on the trails he starts flooding them and building the ice. For water he has a couple of ponds along the trails to get the water from.
During the skating season he floods them on most nights and sweeps the trails a couple times a day depending on their condition.

We are fortunate to have it so close to home as it helps us be active in winter, especially during the lockdown we are experiencing.
He was allowed to remain open by the government as exercise is considered essential, which was a big relief for us.

The one close to us is called Countryside Adventures .
Today though we went to another one a bit farther away called River Oak

Dan, when I was a kid the field directly across the street was owned by the church. In the summer time we played ball on it. In the winter the town would bring a snow plow and berm the snow up. The fire department would then bring a water truck and flood it into a skating rink. Try doing that now with tax payer dollars. Even though it was open for the entire town, I’m sure it’d be frowned upon today.
