All About Pocket Knives

Well isn't that interesting. Early nail clippers?


By the way. If anyone wants that 'what is it' tool, let me know. The tool is free, you pay the shipping.

Great find,Gino......I've never seen a pair like those.

My favorite picture of Abraham Lincoln.

I sure hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes here by using the photograph of the Lightning and easy open at the top of this picture. I just thought it was a great imag and I wanted to try to copy it in my own way with my knife and Colt.
I don't recall where I snaged the photo. Who's photo is it?
Anyway, just having a little fun with the printer and scanner.

My (then) 15 year old grand-daughter asked for shoes for Christmas last year. I offered to buy these for her. She turned me down. I just don't know what's wrong with kids today.

I think there cool....my Wife just looked over and said "Who's shoes are those...I like'm"...
My Wife has a pair of clear Converse tennis shoes.......She wears them to show off Her hand knit socks.



Joe...what year is your Colt Auto?.......nice pic,BTW.

The shoes are just something I saw in WalMart and thought would be a funny gift for my grand-daughter.

Thanks johnnie,
that is a 1903 Colt pocket pistol, in 32 auto.
It's suprisingly accurate out to 25 feet or so.
It has an 8 round magazine, + 1 in tube.

Sorry for taking your posts so literally, Jerry ... ....still think that they are cool..especially for back in Illinois ..with all the mud and muck!!
I lived in Chicago for about 18 Months....was very happy that I worked inside.


Joe....love the little auto!! ...hope you don't mind...I saved your pic and blew it up a tad to use as a wallpaper.

????????????????? I don't get what you're apologizing for. Besides thinking they would be a funny gift for a 15 year old girl who was asking for 'shoes' but meant something a little more stylish, I too think they're kinda cool and was tempted to buy a pair for myself.

thought would be a funny gift

I didn't realize that you wanted to buy them as a joke....I thought that you were being serious...thats all.
My Wife is from up state NY...and thought that they were awesome....thinking that they would come in handy for all the rain and snow.

Not at all, johnnie. I'm glad you like it.

Gottcha.

Another free treasure out of the scrap bin for my garage.

Do you have any idea why they dumped that? I want to have access to your scrap bin.

People here in England don't have much space to store things so they throw it away. Somebody croaks they just clear the place out a trash it all. it is also a highly urbanized population that by and large do nothing for themselves. It's sad really. They just call someone. I'm gathering loads of tools for a pittance. I figure I'll get enough to fill a container eventually and ship them back over there and sell them.

Looks to be in great condition.....good find.

I was brushing my teeth last night, getting ready for bed when my doorbell rang. I opened the door and there stood a friend of mine with a paper sack in his hand. He says, "I just pulled in from Pennsylvania and I brought a gift to you." (I didn't even know he was in Penciltucky.) What a good friend.


The gift.

What a great friend.

It's tough to beat Yuengling Lager. The brewery is 50 miles from my house, I was weaned on Yuengling. have you tried their other beers? Lord Chesterfield Ale, Black & Tan, Porter and Premium.

I gotta give that stuff a shot somehow. I'm headed to Crazy Bruces licquor store tommorow.

No. I was in Philadelphia for work for about a month total in 1997 and got hooked on Yuengling then. I don't remember drinking anything but the Lager. Used to bring home a case every time I was out there. That was back when you could carry it on the plane with you.

I don't drink much beer these days. When I do, these are my five favorites.

Newcastle = Newky browns.. AKA the squirts, trots, etc...

Modelo Negro? ESTA CERVESA BUENO!!!

Never tried Yuengling. Hard to find here.

The other two?

Drank a lot of PBR in days gone by. Michelob stuff gives me headaches..

Guinness Extra Stout is my poison of choice.

Yuengling! One of my guilty pleasures. Of course, can't get it up in NH. I am fortunate to have a few friends that make trips to NY or PA every few months, and they are nice enough to bring me back some.

Years ago, I did some training down near Harrisburg, and decided to make a side trip to Pottsville. We didn't have time to take the tour, but I was able to hit the gift shop and bought a bunch of Yuengling bling. It's nice to actually drink their beer from their glasses.

I tried those Yuenglings during the 4th, and the Lights also. They ain't bad beers. They carry them at the little market up the road, which I was surprised at. I like the Lager best. I usually drink Rolling Rock in the bottle "Ice Cold" for a special week.
Due to health concerns, I usually stay with the Silver Bullet though.......less carbs and corn.
Although, I do get my corn in a jar sometimes.
