I'll be at my desk or recliner chair all day watching NASCAR with this newly arrived Case Sod Buster Jr. for company.

Thank you, Gary! Your quaint comments today are the Cat's Meow.

 

[RDaneel]

I'm carrying my Case Damascus blue bone Teardrop today.

 

[JJ Cahill]

Super-Duper Schrades JJ

Thanks a lot, Jack!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend I'm warming the cockles of my heart with these two

You're all set for some tasty food prep with those two beauties; I saw the shots of your chopper "in action" yesterday, bon appetite!

 

[JJ Cahill]

Toting a Swiss Scout and a British Barlow today.

 

[5K Qs]

Last couple of days this Case 5318 has been my companion. OH

Sublime stag, Bruce! Nice background, too; some kind of table or floor made from cross-sections of 1x2s??

That sounds like the most logical solution.

I think I already have at least 7 sodbuster jr style knives, so maybe I could combine them with some thing else from the Miscellaneous category, or create a "sodbusters and lambsfoots" category, or something.

Gary, that Colt canoe is a looker; that's at least two of your Colt canoes that catch my eye.

Wow, that's "keen" Simmons cocobolo jack, Gary!

Thanks, Dean. I really like most of my Colt knives, and was sad to see them get out of the knife-making business.

I'm carrying my Crimson bone Case stockman again today.

Superb stockman, Dean, and sensational seasonal shot!

This is an occasional carry that I always enjoy.

Is that RR's black cherry kickback canoe? As a "canoesseur", I think it looks great!

...
Better days would be good!

Congrats on the vaccinations, Gary!
"A little time, a little trouble, and better days."

What wondrous wood examples!

Toting a couple thrifty fellas from Imperial; an early 50s BSA Cub and a Hammer Brand from the late 30s.

A couple of thrifty thrillers, JJ!

...
I'm going with a couple of Old Friends today

Old friends are the best, Jack!

Queen City #10 and a Buck 303

Dandy dark duo, Steve! Is the Queen City new to you?

Impressive "piano keys" pair; I especially like that Case!

An ace. A classic. A do-all-er. A rock-solid. A behemoth.

How do you like that knife??

...
What can I say? I like acute angles on my knives. They cut better, and hold a working edge longer than an obtuse angle. In 60 ~ 61 years, I've never had a edge chip, and it is rare to roll the. edge on a good (1095; 440A; 440C; 420HC) blade, such as Schrade (pre and post 2004), Buck, Case, and Rough Ryder/Marbles.
(I haven't taken my D2, CPM154, and S30V to 10DPS yet, so I don't know how they would behave. The carbides or/and 60 plus Rockwell, might prevent finer than 15 DPS.)

In the event you're curious .... the new guided sharpener I found online for under $40. No daRn clamp to get in the way. An magnet holds the blade.
It seems to work well at the two finer angles. I haven't used the 20/25/30 DPS slots yet. There an excellent chance I never will. An axe, hatchet, and tomahawk should be 15 DPS/30 degrees inclusive, right?

Y'all have a great weekend, please.

Interesting info! I prefer quite an acute angle, too, and keep an eye out for a guided system that allows 10 dps on a folder. What brand is yours?

Today with this Victorinox Pioneer X (Winter Magic 2020).
...

You post some amazing Alox SAKs, José!

Toting these two today.

Couple of stunners, JJ; really like the jigging on your GEC 78!

Appealing amber bone duo, David!

Case cv Sowbelly single today...

...

Welcome back, sir! That sowbelly is a handsome knife!

These 33's pack a lot of blade in a small frame. I like it! This Indian River Jack needs more pocket time and a patina!

You sure can pick winners, Taylor!

Quality quartet!

Thank you most kindly, Gary!!!

 

[btb01]

Case XX red bone Jack and OD micarta SAK Recruit

I really like that Micarta SAK, Paul! (Assuming those are aftermarket scales, I particularly like that they still have a slot for the tweezers and, presumably, the toothpick.)

 

[Jerbhola89]

New comb to tame the beard for the Mrs for the V-Day pics. Easy-Open is tagging along.

A nice, light and slim pair.
