Chilly Sunday with more weather coming in here in Maryland.

 

[screened porch]

Have you made any yet?

Not yet. (The book just arrived yesterday.) I'm wanting to make a 5-string uke with high and low g strings side by side and a selective mute. I have a steel plate in the garage I thought might do for the soundboard and backboard, but I checked and it's at least 3/16" thick. I'd have to string it with hawsers and pluck it with a rock hammer. When I bought that plate at a garage sale, I said, "I'm sure I'll find something to do with it". The guy said, "Yeah, that's what I said".
I have some thin, fine, plywood from another garage sale that will cut easier anyway.

The Undersung Heros.

I like that

 

[screened porch]

Impressive old Imperial, Jer. It deserves to be carried and shown.

I think you're right. Maybe I'll lacquer the inside of the springs to keep them bright. Or just use it like I would have if I'd bought it new.
Nice, thin blades.

A Bark River fixed blade.
Went snowshoeing and my friend found an antler shed (6 points).
Of course I wanted it for a knife project, but he wasn't parting with it.

Just this ole thing in my pocket today.

Nice! Who made that sweet little ebony jack?

Now that's how bone should be jigged!

Just this ole thing in my pocket today.

You got a nice one, for sure! I'm planning to carry mine every day for a while, but I'll change up the smaller companion knife more often.

 

[Pinemoon]

Of course! Just told my daughter to be more careful with the knives. It had been buried a few days, I think. My daughter was afraid to tell me she lost it, and my wife found it in the back yard. It was CV steel. Used some Flitz to clean it up, but it still shows signs of its misadventure.

Glad you got it back!
Wow, the pup has good taste in knives

 

[Prester John]

Day's almost gone now, didn't do much- or not what I can retail here Raining on top of the snow, huge slabs of ice cascading from buildings and spiked footwear a must outside So, stayed in the unhealthy fugg of indoors This lightened the atmosphere though:

Lovely ram's horn, but where's the lanyard hole?

Gonna carry every day for a while too, but will mix up my secondary carry.
You've got a lot of nice knives.

Thanks. Fortunately, it healed over

Thanks R8shell. I haven’t seen a bad one in that picture of them all!

That is a nice looking knife, Atiger. I am not well versed in modern knives, what does Case call this model?
I couldn't help but to notice the strong resemblance between your Case and older English Ettrick and Tackler knives.
Enclosed is a picture of an early post WWII Tackler knife from Joseph Rodgers which is nearly a twin brother to your Case model.

The tang reads : Cornwall Knife Co./New York/U.S.A. It is just over 3 inches closed and a reeeeeeal gem, just like the man who sent it to me The legendary Paul Hilborn. It just keeps jumping in my pocket It's playing tag with a Birdseye today and the E.C. Simmons.
