Ebony Lamb and Synthetic Ebony Medium Jack for Wooden Wednesday...
Well, you can see what checking in here before picking up a days knife can do...
thanks toJohnDF And a couple other guys yesterday morning, I ended up with my little Case Jack for the day.
. Shown here openi g my SipsBy box for May (Monthly tea subscription box) after the mail run.
I agree with that guy ...
CASE Medium Jack for carry into the evening ~~~
Wow! Last Wednesday was when Case medium jacks, black and red, went wild!Carrying the beautiful Red Medium Jack to work today...
Notable pair of classics, JJ!Toting a couple of Robeson jacks today, the older one is wearing Walnut.
Thanks, Dean.
Most of my red celidor SAKs come from the local gun and knife show where I can almost always find a table with a family that sells new ax handles and used SAKs. I certainly give the Champion its turns in my pocket, but most of its "mileage" occurred before it came to me.Looking forward to the summer "change of venue" for your knife pics, Todd.Thanks Gary! I know, the view goes away pretty quickly. During the summer I like to have my coffee down on the dock, should be great for pictures!
Oh man, the dorm room thing is funny! My daughter would accuse me of the same thing!
That slender knife is a knockout!I carried this delrin Schrade today.
...
Thanks, Todd.Nice looking knives Gary, I have the Marbles Ram’s Horn Barlow, nicely made.
I really like the Marbles Ram's Horn and have several patterns, including the Barlow; I agree, it's nicely made.Thanks for the remarks, Jack.Merci GT, c'est le entente cordiale!
...
Excellent pics Gary
I had an early start today, so only just getting round to posting my Thursday carry
That's not right, ED, to have snow after mid-May!We were riding to town today for our usual stops but woke up to this
View attachment 1567499
so, instead of fighting the snow, I'll ride my desk with the Sod Buster Jr. pictured atop the binoculars. Dang it!!!!! I was looking forward to a hot bowl of chili at the Wagon Wheel Cafe.
Even worse when it prevents a guy from having his much-anticipated bowl of chili!Thanks, John.That's a Dandy and Handy knife, GT.
Thanks, Dean.Speaking of good looking, your RR stag sowbelly stockman is a real looker, Gary.
Splendid pair of knives, Dean; I especially like that Barlow!
Thanks for the update on the tool chest, Jim; glad it seems to still be functional, even with what sounds like a "design flaw".UPDATE on the Wooden Tool Chest I posted this past Sunday and use for knife storage ... you do get what you pay for
The 'wooden' drawer rails are some kind of what appears to be pressed wood and attached to the chest with small nails
The weight of the bottom long drawer broke of the end tip of the rail on both sides where the last small nail is located
I used super glue to reattach the rail tip, not only to the remainder of the rail, but to the chest as well, and so far so good
As a precaution, I put a bead of super glue on the other long drawer rail tips
Problem appears to be corrected but wouldn't or shouldn't have happened to begin with on a name brand well built wooden tool chest
Apparently the drawer weight when open and canted against the rail tips only, snapped them off
The drawer still functioned and I honestly didn't notice anything wrong until I saw a broken tip in the bottom of the chest and wondered what the heck is this?
Arrow in picture points to where the rail tips break off with the weight of the drawer resting in an open drawer position
And a picture of contents of the bottom long drawer whose weight in open drawer position, broke the tips
Cool story, and that jigged chestnut bone CV SBJr is outstanding!In the mid 70's there was an old guy at the mall with a knife table(s) set up and I spent some time looking at everything he had
The old guy allowed me to silently look over his vast collection of knives
Finally, I told him I wanted a good work knife but had no idea which might be best, out of all the knives he had
He picked up a black Sod Buster Jr in CV, "This is the one you want", he said
For $8 it was the best EDC a fella could ask for and served me well through hard use at work in a factory for several years
I abused the knife to the point of breaking the tip, that took some trying, and tossed it.
I have a modern black Sod Buster Jr, but it's Stainless. Just not the same as that '70s era CV
I like the Sod Buster pattern so much, today I ordered a Maserin D2 version in Bocote and am awaiting shipment
In the mean time, Friday Carry ...

... no further problems with the tool chest after reattaching the rail tips. Would be simple enough to replace the rails with some good solid wood (oak maybe) but since it's working, I'll let it ride. Not going to throw time and effort into an inferior product unless push comes to shove. The chest costs a fraction of what a top quality wooden tool chest costs ... but you get what you pay for of course.
