[garddogg56]

It was my grandpa's,WWll era trench lighter and it still works.

I need these two to get good patinas going before I can move on down the line and get the other ones field tested.

Hows about something different This W.H.Morley and Ulster would have been my Grandpa's EDC

Hey, What’s that white tube to the left in your picture?
I've found a few of them while digging around where an old dump was located.
Thought they were old wire insulators for going through joists in old houses.

Knives;You are right that is a porcelin insulater used in knob and tube wireing great for touching up a blade just like using the unglazed portion of a coffeecup

Still sticking with these two

Thanks G - Dog~
Thought that's what it was.
When I return to the dump area for more scrounging around I'll see if I can find the ones I disregarded and give them a try.
I would think they are easy to carry around in your pocket as a quick sharpener.

This is a 1000 watt bulb out of the 100 foot lights we have in the truck lot at work. This puppy will hone.

This old Schrade displaced my Christmas Buck 500 today. Today is a patina sort of day, if you know what I mean. Man, I miss winter. November has lasted 3 months now....

I used to have one of those elements Johnj, and you're right, they work great! until you drop em on a hard floor. Wish I could find another one.

[Just Plain Dave]

I've got a slightly over 4.5" "lamp" like that and it works VERY well on edges!

Used both my SOG Twitch II and Case Yellow 'nut.

The Case actually seemed to cut better! Love that CV!

Gotta admit I like the red scaled Imperial Scout a bit better than this Kutmaster....

I am going to have to get my Twitch II out again, its been some time since I have used it. Very cool little knife and for its size it has a wicked fast open.

[biglmbass]

Today's carry. I'm used to a half congress, but this one wasn't so thick that it felt bulky.

[gino]

Very Cool!!!

In all the years as a carpenter here in Connecticut and Provincetown, Ma., I have run across a good many of those old tubes. Wish I would have thought to use one as a sharpener. Do they really work? I love left turn usage like that.

[FRJ]

By the way, I've been packing this ol Pal around. Sure is a nice knife. Thanks

[biglmbass]

Love the color of those scales.

[garddogg56]

Yea Gino the only reason I'm having a hard time with it is my other EDC assist is a Kershaw Scallion which I believe is a better blade and clips better in the pocket FRJ that insulator really works great my Grandpa allways had the two in his pocket when he was in the woods.I don't keep it in my pocket because I'm allways near a coffee cup

[garddogg56]

FRJ;I love that old traditional,what year is it??

[Just Plain Dave]

Same bunch as my Prior pics. I lack imagination sometimes.....

This stamp is "Pal Blade Co." ........... Goins gives it 1940--1945.

It's older than me. .........Glad you like it garddogg.

Great-looking knife, Joe.
