Challenge completed. A larger blade was only missed when cutting dandelion leaves for the guinea pigs.

Crusing on a fishing trip. The desert is in bloom:

A lil guy can get thirsty at the ol fishing hole:

I carried a Camillus made Buck 303 every day for well over a decade. Only knife I used and I never felt "under knifed".
Longest blade is 2 1/2 inches.
The one on top in 440A

Lately, I have been carrying my Buck 303 and a few other Stockman patterns. The Sheepsfoot blade sees a lot of use.

The sheepsfoot excels at jobs which require starting a cut in the middle of a surface. The harder you push on the point, the more it forces the knife openn. I normally prefer to carry a traditional which has a sheepsfoot or wharncliffe blade for that reason.

OK that is a Lufkin No. 171 Carpenters folding caliper. made c.1920. Thanks for posting the Photo it pointed me in the proper direction I needed to look. I found and purchased this one. A 12" Stanley No 32 folding Carpenters caliper they were made from 1859 to 1941. These folding Boxwood calibers were popular with field scientists c.1900.

I had to come back to make sure I'd completed the challenge because I used my tanto Zaan on Saturday. Luckily, that was the 25th - my month was up on the 13th.

Small Sebenza is ok for the challenge, correct? 2.94” I believe
