Jack's Random Tuesday Carry

Maybe not exactly "random," but one I don't carry often:

Victorinox Spartan, souvenir from the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas. Going to use the cap lifter to open a couple of Anchor Steam beers tonight. We're having Mexican food (Cinco de Mayo), but I'm not a great fan of Mexican beers. Anchor Steam is world class, and a great complement to enchiladas.
¡Salud!

With the current Coronadog Day Lock-down ongoing, I often find it difficult to remember what day of the week it is, but I randomly guessed correct today, fumbled in a random knife box, and pulled out this IXL Small Serpentine Jack to carry today ;) Once one of the worl's finest cutlery companies, I'm sure George Wostenholm & Son need no further introduction here :thumbsup:

Thanks :) That's an old one, and in my experience, unfortunately, Sheffield is one of the worst places to buy old knives. Visitors to the city want to pick one or two up, so the antique shops charge a premium, and have often been picked clean :(

I've picked up a few over the years

I like the beat up, much loved old users, while the tourists tend to go for the shiny stuff

of course if you have better advice for picking up old folders in the UK I'd be all ears :)
 
The Hand of Fate picked out this Winchester Black Box Doctor's Knife today, a very kind gift from @Cory Hess :) It was my first BB Winchester, and I really like the pattern, which is very uncommon here. Enjoying carrying it again today for Random Tuesday :) :thumbsup:

This is pretty random. I ordered a stockpun last night and went down to see if I already had one. I remembered this as having a punch, but no.
Pal Cutlery Co. I bought it from a tall blonde who carried a knife on her admirable hip in case of being dragged by the horses she worked with at a boarding facility. This knife was her dad's. Her dad had been a Case dealer, with many NIB knives Case had sent him and he'd never used because he always carried the same knife. He had sold that collection that morning for $8.00 each. (She tried to stop him.)

Nice knife, and a very interesting story behind it Jer :) :thumbsup:

Darn it! I forgot it was Tuesday! o_O Unusually, I'm carrying a TL-29, but I selected it for a job I was hoping to crack on with today, rather than randomly :(
