This is a nice old user knife from the 1950’s.

Yes, Paul, but ‘nice’ is a bit of an understatement IMO. Coined liners, lovely peachseed bone, and full blades. Incredible.

Thanks Jeff.

I grabbed a couple of period correct schrades to go watch the pacific at a friends house. I speculate that the cattle knife could have even been wartime manufacture due to the plastic handles and plain steel bolsters.

How are you liking the Solo?
Pretty fun knife I think.
I’m liking it a lot. It’s so snappy, and feels great in hand. 😊👍
Salad is 100% homegrown, except the cauliflower. I had lousy cauliflower out of the garden this year.
Romaine, spinach, kale, arugula, beet greens, radishes, cherry tomatoes, green and red onion, shredded beet root, cucumbers, chopped snow peas... all have done well this year. All of these, and wax beans have been replanted for fall harvest. I usually have good luck with late plantings as long as the days to maturity comes before the first hard frost. I stopped succession planting spinach and romaine until it gets cooler. The spinach thrives even after frost and even snow~ last year we were eating fresh spinach at Thanksgiving.

Have a great night, folks.
Great looking meal Jeff! 😋👍
 
I just got home yesterday from visiting family up in NYC. (did I miss anything?) No checked bag, so I had to borrow one of Mom's pocketknives. This was in my pocket for a whole week and I'm kinda missing it. I thought I had one like it here, but can't find it right now.
