I've cut through 2-2 1/2" branches with the saw on mine. I have the German Army, Swiss Army, Fireman, Outrider, and Dual Pro X; as well as an older Alpineer I converted to a slipjoint by replacing the scales and removing the lock. All of those but the Alpineer have a saw, and they work great.

The belt cutter blade found on models like the Fireman and Dual Pro tend to make short work of a lot of vines.

Very practical little user you have there Smitty. That baby has a blade for all occasions. Those pesky vines don't stand a chance! P.S.-Would ya come and mow my lawn when you're done at your daughter's? LOL!

Thanks Marc. It worked great. A Handy size for a utility knife.

First, a rather unique Camillus 72Y Carpenters Whittler. Not only is it like new in the box with the original wrapper and pamphlet, but the pile side of the master clip blade has the 1997 22LR6 tang stamp while the front of the blade has the Double Line Camillus Tang Stamp and the Yellow Jacket blade etch. I will also post this in the Camillus 72 thread.

I also received this piece of Queen ephemera. A Queen Steel #22 Barlow Box that has the display surface with backboard. It is like new, with hardly any rubs. The diecut straps on the box have not been unfolded. I also included a photo of it with my Queen Steel #22 Barlow with it, but I did not unfold the straps.

She has a bunch of Wisteria Vines in her back yard, some rather large. Hence I wanted to try out this mini saw, and a larger knife blade. So I thought I would give this Victorinox Forester a try. It is approximately 4-3/8" closed, it has a 3-1/2" spear point blade with liner-lock, a 3-5/8" saw blade, of course the usual can opener / small flat tip, a large flat tip / cap opener with liner lock, Cork Screw, awl / punch, toothpick and tweezers. Plus all blades have half stops. Will give it a try later this morning when I start cutting grass.

Nice Yello Jackets Smitty and Jerry

Mail call has been busy lately, some pretty nice stuff by everyone !

My new arrival for today was a Case Sod Buster Jr. with crimson peach seed jigged bone covers. Am I becoming a "bonehead" and/or spending a little too much money on my new hobby?

Three beauties Mark! All very nice, especially the Mcusta.
Thanks for makin' it all possible Mark!
Smitty that yellow whittler is a sharp looking knife. I like the Barlow display with a Barlow on it.

Stan be sure to let us know how that Fallkniven holds up. The steel sounds superb. I have some Japanese knives made from powdered steel but have never used them.
