All About Pocket Knives

Late thanks to everyone. I haven't been online much. After all the moving last winter I'm busy trying to help both of my sons with projects. My oldest and his wife are expecting they're second child. My second oldest and his wife are expecting twins. Of course we had gutted their master bath and bed...

Nothing like a 120 lb dog that loves kids. Tuukka taking care of Brogan.

Nats @ Cubbies but I'm watching Caps/Bruins playoff game #2. C- A- P- S- !!! Yep. Baseball is on hold for me too. Too bad about that OT loss tonight. :D My daughter named our dog Tukka so she was rooting for Boston. Minnesota fan myself and the Twins are horrible so I'll stick with watching the Wil...

I don't understand why companies aren't just out in the open as to where their products are made. It's seems a little dishonest to me. I would be less likely to purchase from one of these companies. If they are ashamed of where their products are made maybe they should change their production locat...

Well mine is here. I'm not disappointed in the knife for what I paid but would be suspect as to German made. I'll let someone smarter than me be the judge. The Hen & Rooster/ Bertram is laser not stamped. It is stamped German Stainless Steel. The only place Solingen appears is on the paper it is...

Going with the Minnesota martini while I install the new used dryer.

I have a stag congress stamped Spain that is very substandard. Scales have gaps and springs do not sit flush. My whittler stamped Solingen is one of my highest quality knives. I have a Congress in the mail that is supposed to be Solingen stamped. (My wife's fault. She left me waiting in the car for ...

Morning all. Late to the party. Found out this morning at 6 our clothes dryer died so all my work clothes were still wet. Been a little bit of a scramble. Oh well its always something. Hope everyone has a better start to the week than I did

Went to see the folks for Mother's day and bring them a 50 bag of bird seed and more jelly. Dad's pretty much stuck in the house on oxygen but at least the Orioles and other birds are back and baseball is on tv. Starting to think I need some bird feeders at our place. Sorry for my camera. Getting ti...

Happy Birthday Steve!

Morning all! The wife had to work at the NICU today so got up at 5 and made her breakfast. Our two youngest are driving her to work. Hour drive so she gets some time with her kids. Our oldest son and his wife and my granddaughter will pick her up with me and take her out for supper tonight. Have to ...

Morning all. Well we got a tenth of rain out of a little shower that blew up as soon as everyone got to the car show. We're in a drought but a car show is still good for a little rain
A little frost this morning but supposed to be a beautiful day in the 60s. Have a great day everyone.

Nice. Love that beaver tail!

Morning all! Crops are planted but no rain in sight. Started getting the fishing boat ready but my wife informed me we have graduations to go to the next two weekends so not going to see the water for a couple weeks. Have a great day everyone. Bill Bill: "See ya later honey. Gotta get the boat...

Happy Birthday Boji!

Here's my new toy. Picked it up at Cabelas for $289. Fit & finish are good. It's a 2021 Pietta. They must be shipping again because I'd heard the Italian factories were hit hard by Covid. It's an 1858 Remington Sheriff's model with 5 1/2 in barrel in .44 cal. Nice! I have the same model. It's p...

Good morning everyone. Beautiful day but still dry. Coffee and cribbage with my daughters before church. Gotta love those moments. Have a blessed Sunday everyone. Bill Ah hah, another Cribbage player. Do you have more than one board? Here are mine. The one with the cards on it is the one that gets ...

Felt like an elegant Hen & Rooster warncliff whittler type of Sunday.

Morning all. Could see close to 90 this weekend. Welcome to the extremes of Iowa. Manure and field work is done. Planter should be done Monday. Went to get my old John Deere 112 lawn tractor running this morning so I could fertilize the lawn and found out I forgot to put stabalizer in the gas. So ha...

CXXX Anniversary Antique Jigged Bone today.
Bill

Yes. He's 25 and played with it when he was younger. Now he's getting serious and starting a sideline business. I'm hoping to get him to join AAPK. He's a knife lover too. He just put a site on Facebook. Hangin EZ Leather.

Look for Svord peasant knife. Usually New Zealand. My daughter did her student teaching abroad in NZ which is how I got into them.

A sheath my son did for a friend of his.
