Outstanding knife, maybe a Top Five knife for me!I carried my Case swayback jack today. I was in the office all day and didn’t use it, but still liked having it in my pocket just in case.

So this week and next, I plan to post some of those knives in this thread, starting with some new Rough Ryders I ordered that arrived in late July.
Here's a RR "artisan wood" canoe that I think looks quite attractive. No idea what kind of wood is used for the covers.

‘Twas the Tacoma Tigers last time I watched a minor league game in Tacoma. I had my Ft. Lewis PX procured camo VIC SAK with me then - all things keep changing, some for the better some for the worse. OHCase at work again this week. I decided to pull out the 15 and the Old Cross and carry them both today.

Wasn’t allowed a knife last night at the ball gameI watched the poor guy in front of me struggle trying to open the heavily sealed plastic packages of dip-n-dots for his Grandkids for about 15 minutes until he got them opened…

Possibly bats. When you wake up with bats in your bedroom you can't be sure they haven't bitten you, so you get the shots. Only one person is known to have survived rabies.
I was expecting a series of four rabies shots. The four immunoglobin shots with the first rabies came as a surprise.
