All About Pocket Knives

Another package delivered by USPS on a SUNDAY! I could get used to this.

This is not so much a knife...I happened upon this on Craigslist. I thought I better snatch it up...

That's the first Robeson case I've seen. Nice! Looks like a useful design too glennbad.

Is that the CF Roundhead? I've already got a ram's horn from the first run and none of the other handle materials really tickled my fancy, but I had missed out on the reservation for the CF and no standby ever came up.

It looks good but for what they were asking I don't know if I would have pulled the trigger. They claim the grind is better on the second run Roundhead, but the only difference I can see is the choil. If Lionsteel produces one with mammoth, now, I could probably be moved to put my money down.

Yes, it's the White Carbon Fiber from the second run. I waited too long and missed out on the regular Carbon Fiber. I decided to pull the trigger on Friday morning when the only Carbon Fiber left was the White.

My timing was good for a change. My employer frowns on us making online purchases on our work computers so I went home on my lunch break just so I could make the purchase from my own desktop at home. (Don't own a smart phone) I didn't get the last one but when I checked the website an hour later they were gone. I would have missed out if I had waited until after work.

I actually wanted the regular Carbon Fiber but it might have been a blessing in disguise that I hesitated. I'm delighted with the White stuff and the knife itself is of exceptional quality.

The mail box gave up these. An orange Rough Rider Stockman and a Boker [The Great American Story series]. Both very good quality, sharp and tight.

Ulster pearl whittler found at an auction. Although the blades are scratched, I really like their shape, and the overall fit/form of the knife:

Schatt and Morgan showed up at my door today. I enjoy their company.

Mail came. Case 2016 Mini-Trapper 10207SS Blue Kirinite. I'm happy with it.

Just of of the mail box, 1986 Ka-bar grizzly.
Thanks Hank!

I love a trapper, especially blue ones!

NRMT 108OT and mini Imperial EO

Two Queens today.

A 47 swell center and a 28 English Jack. Both with Winterbottom bone.
The 47 dates to around 1950 and the 28 early 60's.

Got the Ka-bar 'Grizzly' this morning and this Parker 'little bandit' this afternoon. Thanks Danny!

Nice OT FFF, bdev, great winterbottom, Ken that KBar is beauuuuuuuutiful. Parker too, never would have guessed Parker. Congrats all.

Had a couple piles arrive.....one was junkers....so I'm sending them back.

I have these left....

Thanks Gino.

Four Colonials today.
The small equal end pen was a salesman's sample.
Forgot this one......

I got a pretty good deal on a GEC Congress - never been a big fan of the Congress, but this much slimmer half Congress really agrees with me. Crisp Half stops on both blades - I don’t have many GEC’s but the fit and finish of this one is darn near perfect. I think the half Congress May become a favorite pattern ...

Nice one. Here's a pic from the GEC website. St Patty's Day Acrylic. Made in 2010.

^ thx for that GEC snip !

Well, just..... dog doodoo I guess.

I finally get a few new "sharp and pointies" in, unbox them, break out the old camera, take a few pics and... ????

Wait, a minute!!! Where's that damn little wire that goes from my camera to my computer to get the pictures onto my computer??

I have now spent 5 or 6 HOURS looking for that silly thin little wire and can't find it anywhere.

I know I didn't throw it away. I just had it not 4 days ago downloading other pictures (gardening related). It can only be in the den, my bedroom or the office, but it's not.

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it a standard micro or mini USB? If so, then it doesn't have to be the original cable, any similar cable from from a phone or whatever will probably work. General rule of thumb: If it fits in the hole, it will work.

Wayne, I feel your pain. Just the other day, I looked for my cell phone for about two or three minutes before realizing I was talking on it. And that's not the first time.

As for cables, keep 'em plugged into your computer and if they need to be transportable, buy spares.

That's just it - I do have spares. They have grown legs as well from the cable drawer.

As for leaving them plugged in, I only have a laptop and I take it on sales calls, so they have to be unplugged to fit in the carrier. I usually leave the cables coiled on the desk, but obviously I didn't do that.

One of them will turn up somewhere.
