What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[JJ Cahill]

Grabbed these two Imperial Scouts for my Sunday totes.

Happy Sunday all.

Last night my blade deleted 23 came back to me. Y’all might think I’m weird, but I had the drop point removed so now I have this massive Spey in a much thinner, lighter, pocket friendly frame.

It’s absolutely perfect and my “favorite knife I don’t (can’t easily) carry” will turn into “my favorite knife I carry”.

Cheers to the masterful ‘GB’ for his flawlessly outstanding work.

Not weird at all, it’s a fantastic blade and it IS a food prep monster! Looks great. GB does great work!

Such a cool looking and useful tool.

thanks—it took me a bit to choose the covers I liked best, but they suit me. And useful indeed—handled half a dozen things this morning!

Is anyone aware of reading material relating to Case knives since Zippo purchased the company in 1993? It is easy to find information from the early years all the way through Parker’s ownership, but I cannot find anything from 1993 to the present. I would love to learn more about Zippo’s management, philosophy, and intentions concerning Case knives.

Thank you. Might have to see if I can find one.

The seller on the big auction site advertised this 825 Stainless Schrade as having bone handles with no cracks. He was wrong on both counts. @jsdistin recovered it in ironwood for me. Keen Kutter etch on one side and Razor Blade Stainless etch on the other side.

I’m convinced there’s an abay category called “delrin bone”.

Ironwood looks better.

These two pair well. The 85 is in the sweet spot of cary size. Really enjoying it. Have a dead skunk on the way!

but as I get older, I care less and less whether the kids understand or not!

Ha Ha, ain't that the truth!

There is something about your picture that touches a deep nostalgic cord. Evokes a wistful feeling. OH

Good looking #85. It's been a while since I've had Quench gum!

Thanks bud. Quench will definitely get ya there.

Thanks Bruce!!! These old Scouts do the same for me!

Don’t think I’ll need much more today! Stay Safe out there.

Notable pairs, JJ & José!

Many thanks, Gary.

Your attitude about Barlows is good to have when you have so many nice ones, Dean!

Thanks for the kind remarks about the red Alox Secretary, Dean & Gus. I found some info online about using tang stamps to date Pioneers, but determining an age range for that Secretary doesn't seem as easy. I'm provisionally going with pre-1975, but that's definitely subject to revision as I find more Victorinox tang stamp info.

Splendid knife, Dean!

Thank you, Gary.

On a 10-point scale, both 10s, Dean; the blue mini copperhead could well be an 11!

She seems hardly old enough to be a fan of Asimov, but I'll have to see if I can work it into a conversation sometime.
That boy's knife is a stunner, Dean!

- GT

Thanks, again Gary.

Regarding Bliss and Asimov. I saw a channel on Youtube by a young fella about Foundation. He had an amazing amount of details about the books, the overall universe of Foundation and a lot of enthusism about the topic. I try not to underestimate the young; they often amaze me. I also try not to overestimate the young as they often amaze me.

Today I went with this Case my brother gave me several years ago along with a Eagle Scout commemorative Henry .44 rifle.

I carried my new Case Rough Black Sodbuster, Jr. today. (a nod to Gary's @5K Qs photo inspiring the purchase). I exercised late today as I went to get my 2nd covid vaccine shot in another town after church. So hopefully, I exercised out the possibility of flu like symptoms.
