You know someone hasnt worked in bomb disposal (or maybe they have) when they use the word "Blast"as a descriptive word.


Same as "Repeat" its never used on the radio net,it's always say again or similar in case the Artillery boys get mixed up with the message and send a salvo on your position.


Come back tommorow for more boring trivia from me...

The man speaks the truth!

It wouldn't be right to not carry a Barlow too, so I dropped this Lionsteel in my pocket for the afternoon. The Olive covers do leave a bit to be desired. I kind of wish I'd gone with the ram covers instead.

I like the wood, but you could give them a coat or two of boiled linseed oil to make the grain pop.

That olive wood has a tendency to get darker and richer over time. I only have one knife with olive wood.

When I got it:

After 8 years of storage and light usage:

That looks great! It really did get a nice rich color. Did you oil it or do anything else to it?

I think I did put a coat or two of the linseed oil on it at one point ..... hard to remember because a lot of my knives evolve over time, when I get ideas.
But the olive wood fixed blade darkened mostly with time.
Boiled linseed oil is a very good choice. I rub it on and let it soak, then rub it off with a blue paper shop towel.

Day 29 One more day to go for me to finish.
Redoing this Lloyd. I have more Barlows floating around just got to get them out of storage.
Anyhoo...Lloyd paired up with a new Cooper Beaver Falls.
Pretty good knife. Nice F&F and perfect pull. Half stops if you like em. Doesn't bother me anyway. Sharp out of the box.

The stag on that Lloyd is awesome. Great knife

Looking for some luck (with the green), I'm carrying this little Puma Rambler!!!

I put this sawcut richlite in my pocket this evening out of habit. I can stop anytime I want… I swear!

Even though it didn’t arrive in time for the challenge, my new Queen Barlow sure is picture worthy. Paired today with my Pony Jack.
