All NICE knives that you have been scoring!!! 
Thank you John.
Where I live, there is NO mail pick-up or delivery. I have to go to the post office. FedEx, UPS and freight companies deliver, but not USPS.That's a nice lPapa Bones wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 1:35 am I made an offer for a Girl Scout Geo Schrade Mess Kit and the seller accepted. It's on it's way. Hopefully be here Tuesday. The picture is from the sellers post.

One is a CRAFTSMAN 9494 and the other is a SCHRADE WALDEN 863 (not stamped 863), with a CRAFTSMAN 9494 etched main blade. Both are 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knives. They both look like they're in very good condition and won't need any cleaning. When I receive them, both will get a thorough inspection. I will take pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).
Beautiful Set!! Hard to find those Craftsman in that good of shape. Me Likey!!

What's the saying? Variety is the spice of life. Now I have to go through the "punishing ordeal" of looking to see what I actually DO have. Thank you Floyd.doglegg wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 4:14 pm Skip, I am a master of 'what I meant to say' post. I meant to say now you have one with a Craftsman shield and a schrade tang stamp, and one with a Schrade tang stamp and a Craftsman 9494 blade etch and no craftsman shield and some with a Craftsman shield and tang stamp. Is that a confusing enough statement? Quite the variety of shield, tang stamp and blade etch.
Thank you Steve.
If your like I am, occasionally you go back through what you have and find something you forgot you hadNew_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 6:15 pm What's the saying? Variety is the spice of life.

I can pretty much remember what knives I have. I just can't remember every combination of shield and tang stamp.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 7:50 pmIf your like I am, occasionally you go back through what you have and find something you forgot you hadNew_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 6:15 pm What's the saying?

Good choice. I have the 6 in 1 also and keep it clamped on my key ring. I've also got one of their X Drives that I keep in the glove box of my truck.cody6268 wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 12:13 am I like having bladeless options available when having to go places where knives are not allowed, but things like metal detectors aren't used. If they are used, I just leave my stuff in the car. I don't fly. Myself and Murphy's Law have a bit of a too close for comfort relationship If I forget my tools, it's like going somewhere without underwear. I've gone places without my cellphone, glasses, and even wallet, but almost never my tools.
I had the Chinese-made version of the SwissTech for many years, but I found it had flaws, and the steel was cheap. While it was the first pliers-based multitool I carried daily, and it saw a lot of use, it was messed up from something stupid I did as a teen and these days, I only buy USA whenever possible these days (and I am trying to build a PC with as many USA components as possible after a Chinese Acer had faulty components out of the box) and B: I'd messed up the cutters as a teenager, cutting rebar binding wire.
This is the original USA-made offering made in the early 1990s. These are also good when I know I'll need pliers or a screwdriver, but just want to carry a very basic folder (usually a slim, lightweight Zytel-handle lockback) or a slim, light SAK like the Bantam. These offer more leverage and durability than the SAK, and stronger pliers than the keyring model Gerbers and Leathermans. There is also a tool made by Seber Manufacturing around the same time and is a similar design, called the Sebertool. The problem with that offering is that the wire cutters are horrible. They are too tiny to cut anything effectively and crimp more than cut. This one was only $8 shipped, and I decided, even after going overboard this month, I could still afford it.

). Right now i'm running Intel Pentium 1.1 gkhz, boosted to 2000, bursts up to 2500. I purchased a dual-fan, metal cooling mat for it, deals with any overheating issues no problem. But I've learned my lesson, next time I buy a computer, it's going to be a built system. Cheaper, way more powerful, better cooling, and much more reliable. If you want to do some heavy gaming, like farming simulator, or DCS, you got to go built system. New gaming laptops are getting better, but they cost a fortune for what you get. For running home business, what i'm using right now is fine. Also ditch the wireless connections, direct cable is the way to go. I have so many issues with wi-fi anything. I plugged straight into the router and printer, no more down connections .
. YES ! Sears mixed & matched their patterns nearly every year, different liners (brass/steel), different blade arrangement, different etches, shield/no shield. different handles, bone color changes, etc. The Sears Craftsman knives are an impossible maze to sort out. There are tens of thousands of 'different' knives. Buy a few of the old Sears big catalogs and some have 2-3 pages of folding knives. The sketches and descriptions are accurate and can be used to date a knife quite specifically.doglegg wrote: ↑Sun May 17, 2020 4:14 pm Skip, I am a master of 'what I meant to say' post.

I did too, but it appears there are a few parts being manufactured here, as well as a few PCs. COVID has finally brought China's actions to the world's attention, but in many ways, unfortunately, it is being ignored.WillyCamaro wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 3:57 pmYou build a pc with American made components...cody6268 wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 12:13 am I like having bladeless options available when having to go places where knives are not allowed, but things like metal detectors aren't used.

I thought computer junk was all made in China, or at least Taiwan.
I'm needing to upgrade this pc processor in the near future (Acer Aspire A315-Special Gaming Edition
Ya, i'm kinda a computer geek... Like knives and mtbing
