In a recent thread on "Stainless Handled Traditionals" Peregrin (Gary) posted a photo of a small lock back that ticked all the boxes for me. So, here it is.
According to the seller it was in storage for 28 years, and it's gritty enough to believe him. Soap, mineral oil and opening and closing is starting to smooth it out. The lock is stiff though. It was dull, but that was easily remedied. It's 2 1/2" closed with a 1 5/8" blade. It's not going to replace anything I own, but it will find its way into use. After all, it's got a sharp edge, and isn't that all we need?
New to me Orchard Gem ( thanks to Liam on the exchange). It's a bit too nice to use right away, and we don't have any apples this year anyway. For now just one to fondle.
Arrived in the mail today from the Exchange! A glennbad modified ABL Rigging Knife. These are Glenn's pictures - I will try and get some of my own this week...
This new one came in today, a pattern I've wanted try try for a while, but kept finding others more interesting... But this time I finally ordered a Muskrat.
