Everything right about that knife: epitomises CASE as an outdoor jewel and worker :cool:

The Amber Bone that you got hold of for me is darkening nicely :thumbsup:

I love venison stew, and a spot of fishing be nice -the only fishing we have here at the moment is ice-fishing, drilling holes in sea ice, NO fun :eek:

Thanks, Will

Thank you sir! It performed its one called on task today, cutting open the plastic wrapper of a shad rig. Glad to hear the Case Amber bone is darkening nicely, I lean to dark bone handles myself. Home now and the venison stew is making the house smell very good, I’m sure we will have an early dinner. Was good and cold on the river, I only fished an hour but had a few good bites and landed one Hickory Shad for my time invested - he’s happily swimming further up river to spawn. OH

Certainly some unique Gibby tones, enjoy!

I’ve named this my resurrection guitar.
It was a pawn shop score ~ Fender Squier Strat~ that I bought years ago in Florida when faced with a week with no guitar to noodle on.
Really nice body and a great fat neck, but the pickups, controls, wiring and jacks were junk. In 2017, I decided to make it into a real guitar. Stripped out everything, melted the poly off with a torch, and mixed up my best approximation of seafoam green lacquer.
It was July 17, 2017, while laying on coats of lacquer, that I found my oldest son had passed away in his room after a long struggle with traumatic brain injury he suffered in Afghanistan.
I set that guitar on my bench. Never bothered to clean the sprayer... just let it sit for three years. I couldn’t even look at it.
But God is good, and life goes on. Last year, I finished it. I did the clear coats and polishing, then rebuilt it with Telecaster controls. Got the pickups from a great winder in New York, John Benson. Yes, that’s a vintage wind P90 in the neck, and he wound me a Tele bridge pickup that would match the higher grunt of the P90.
The clean tones out of a P90 are glorious.
Resurrection Guitar brought back my love of working on guitars, and it brings me good thoughts about my boy.
Thanks for asking and letting me share that.:)

Well, I was stuck at the fork in the road - no, not the road to the Wagon Wheel Cafe but the road of choices so, I'm going to carry both of these Yellow Composite CV Case single blade knives today. I've been sitting here saying; Sowbelly, Sod Buster Jr., Sowbely, Sod Buster Jr., Sowbelly, Sod Buster Jr. to myself and couldn't stand it anymore so in the pockets they both go. Interestingly, both have the Case Stonewashed Blade finish. Sorta like a patina from the factory.

Well, as the best source of quotable wisdom once said, “When you get to the fork in the road, TAKE IT”.
I think you chose well.:thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about your boy. That sounds awful to go through. I'm glad you picked the guitar back up. Sometimes the best way to work through grief is to do the hobbies you also love. The seafoam green came out great. I bet the p90 gives this guitar a unique voice on a strat body

That's an honorable hand-me-down, Bruce! :thumbsup::thumbsup::cool:


Lots of variety in that pair, Joshua! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Sounds good, Jack; I hope it turns out even better than your expectations! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup:


Terrific tortoise "twins", Todd! :cool::cool::thumbsup: They reminded me of some verses from the Song of Solomon in the Bible that Ernie Harwell, the Detroit Tigers radio broadcaster for most of my life, used to recite during the first spring training broadcast each year:
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.


Your Pal Navy jack could easily become a guy's best buddy, Jeff! :thumbsup::cool::cool:


What a knife! What a photo! :cool::thumbsup::cool:


Thanks for the extra info. :) It's a marvelous mutt!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:;)


:thumbsup::thumbsup::cool: When I read about your first calculator, I thought, "Hey! I bought a TI scientific calculator in the summer of 1974, too!" But that must be a false memory, because a TI with the features and cost I remember apparently wasn't available until later. Mine was an SR-51-II that appealed to me because it had numerous statistical functions, and I've now decided I got it in the summer of 1977.


Just received a knife like that through the generosity of a BF member! Classic pattern! :cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:


Nice black and blue pairing, Tom! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: I've also been looking at the Farmer X. Having blade, saw, and scissors in the same Alox frame has MUCH appeal!





Thanks, guys. :) I listened to a lot of music earlier in my life, especially about 1965-1980, and have a lot of lyrics still rattling around in my head that push their way into my consciousness at unexpected times. And my BFF Joni Mitchell said I could modify her lyrics to @Trvr 's photo. :rolleyes:


One of my favorite hymns contains the lines:
The morning light,
The lily white
Declare their Maker's praise. :cool:;)


Absolutely gorgeous knife, LT! :cool::cool::thumbsup:


Superb EO teardrop! :thumbsup::cool::cool:




Thanks, John & Gus & Todd. :)


You're welcome, Jeff; hard NOT to notice it! ;)


Thanks, Jack, and same to you! :cool::thumbsup::cool: That Boker looks bombproof!
