This Hayn' Helper helped today

 

[Old Hunter]

A sensible knife.
Good luck on your turkey hunt.

Thanks John!

Happy Sunday All.

Those Case 92 patterns are strong knives that look great!

Hope you bag a bird, Bruce! If you get tired of hunting without finding, every week or two I walk down a block of Eliot Street and almost invariably have a run-in with an aggressive, territorial tom on the sidewalk! (I think he lives in a wooded ravine behind the houses on the south side of the street.)

Good luck on the hunt !
The other day one flew in front of my car at low altitude, luckily for both of us I did not hit it this time … a few years ago one smashed in the middle of my windshield but it was my fault in a way as I should have slowed down when I spotted a whole bunch of them on the shoulder.

Thanks guys! Urban birds (wild but too close to people) are like Jekyll-Hyde, very different personalities. Wild birds will be a gone ghost if they see a human 400 yards away. OH

Messing around working on a few things in the garage with this one today:

 

[ktataragasi]

It's very solidly built and has good fit and finish. Mine has a strong pull, which I like. Closed length is at 4 inches (10 cm) and blade length is 3.5 inches (9 cm).
I find the size just right for my hand. I've been carrying it everyday for more than a year now.

Thank you for the response. I may have to end up trying one out eventually!

 

[bigfish64]

Ouch.

I'll have to get mine out and check it, but I think it is my one Boker with slight de-centering and very minor blade play. It wasn't enough cause my OCD to twitch, so I've left it alone.

Wish I would’ve.

It's very solidly built and has good fit and finish. Mine has a strong pull, which I like.

I’ll second that, for what it’s worth.

Nice , I bought my daughter a mini copperlock in chestnut bone and she really likes it.
Amber bone is surely a classic

Several years ago I ordered a mini copperlock from the big sporting goods place out of Nebraska. It had issues and I sent it back, kind of soured me on the pattern, glad I checked it out again.

Same to you, Greg! Saturday was still quite warm, but we got a hailstorm about 4:30pm that beat up a lot of our flowers. Today was cloudy and cool, but I had a nice 7-mile walk. Your Magnum scout looks quite nice!

Good on you, Gary, a 7 mile trek is some good exercise.

I carried these two this Sunday. Recovered in rosewood Pal cattle punch and a smooth bone Fight'n Rooster copperhead.

[Jack Black]

Thanks you very kindly, Jack!!!

Those are certainly beautiful Ironwood covers on your Guardians Lamb; always a big fan of the 66, too!

These two Cases caught my eye today.

Many thanks JJ, that's another prefect pairing, love the saw-cut bone

I’ll track it down, but I prefer books to screens. And thanks for the “wow”—yes, that particular Randall is absolutely top notch.

I'm the same Tony, even if I have the PDF, I'll still buy the book That one has been around about 20 years, so hopefully it won't be too difficult to find a copy It certainly is, I hope you enjoy carrying it

Thanks for the info about the wood on your RR lockback, Jack.

...

Thanks, for the info, Jack. I wonder if a blade is still a sheepsfoot if it has a "scalloped" edge like on that 89OT.

A pleasure Gary Interesting question, I reckon so

Very classy choices, Jack!

Thanks buddy

If anyone has been filling out a line-up card for my carries this week and is wondering which knife I have batting in the Big Knife position, it's a Rough Rider yellow synthetic carbon steel folding hunter:

Miscellaneous Knife since last Monday has been this stripped-down Imperial USA jack that I call the Silver Bullet (thanks, Dave):

How are you getting on with using the carbon Rough Riders Gary? I've not seen that Folding Hunter over here, though RR's are a good deal more expensive. I'd hoped they'd do more carbon steel knives, but maybe I'm just not seeing them. The double nicks/pulls, together with all the other bells and whistles are a bit 'busy' for me, it'd be nice to see them do a nice, simple, carbon steel Sodbuster for example Good to see the Silver Bullet!

Hope everyone has a good week I'm starting mine off with a Waynorth Lambsfoot, and a small Ibberson Yachting Knife for Metal Monday
