Utica Tungsten, Case, Wright, Vic.
I have a hard time carrying a lambsfoot because one is too long, one is too bulky, two are too nice, and three are a little off-pattern, made in England though they may have been (TEW).
This one is authentic and compact, yet messed up enough that I don't care what's in the pocket with it. Maybe someday I'll get a pin that matches, but NS is so much more expensive than brass. I guess I was too lazy to make steel work.
Admire that a lot sunk-joint on Master, is it a Half Whittler? If so, one of CASE'S great Penknife patterns
Thanks, Will
What is a robot mower? Is that like a Roomba for the lawn?Work took a richly deserved back-seat today Got out for a walk at the country place after re-installing the Robot mower for the season, no more sitting on a noisy fumey insect magnet mower for me since 2012 It works when you want it, makes no noise and cuts superbly you don't have to pick up clippings and compost the stinking stuff . Anyway, fine day in terms of sunshine but a raging wind all day rather put me off. I took a small minimal pack, snack, water-bottle and of course a PSK tin These two covered my needs admirably and you could get by with them alone, but who really wants to on a Knife Forum?
You have some Great Taste in knives my friend and this is another one of them .2015 Yankee Jack in Antique Yellow Jig Bone.
Thanks Dean. Nice sunken joints on that rig and beautiful background.Gorgeous knife and fantastic photo, Dwight!
That was a two-blader originally, and not Wright's best work. The pen blade covered the main nail-nick, so I ground/ filed the pen into a mini clip blade to uncover the main nick. That allowed me to get my nail into the nick perpendicularly, which was pretty hard on my nail, so I did the eo notch with a dremel drum sander. So I could open the main by pinching it, but the secondary was so short with such a strong spring as to need a screwdriver to open it. So I finally chopped open the knife, removed the pen/clip and spring, and replaced the pin with the wrong material in not quite the right diameter. Then I dropped the knife point-down on the concrete floor. @Jack Black thinks I may have voided the warranty.Good quartet of users, the Wright seems to have led a bit of a roughhouse existence What with new pin and the tip looks broken off...did you do the EZ Open notch? Must help with a tough spring.
Thanks, Will
Nice knife, but great planer!

Klein knives are great. Top quality, fair price. True working man's knives, and you can find them in a lot of hardware stores.I consider myself lucky that I constantly get to use my knives almost every single day at work.

Got a warranty replacement for my 1/4" Klein flat head at Home Depot this past Saturday as a matter of fact.Klein knives are great. Top quality, fair price. True working man's knives, and you can find them in a lot of hardware stores.
You are probably well aware, but they also make really good screwdrivers and pliers. A lot of folks use their screwdrivers because the tips are ground properly and don't damage screws.
