All About Pocket Knives

Building some sawhorses in the shop. I had to sharpen my carpenter’s pencil.

Here’s a pic of the knife, and the crew.

I really like that fixed blade!

Today I thought I would experiment with a traditional fixed blade in place of my usual benchmade folder. We are actually are getting some winter weather today.

I dug out another Barlow. A Queen #69 1/2 Barlow & a Queen #112 1/2 Medium Toothpick, both with D2 & bone:

Thanks, Tom. I really didn't have to dig too deep. It stays pretty close to the top of my Barlow pile.

Have grown rather fond of it myself .....

Did that a few days ago with an old puukko in place of an OHO and ended up slicing the meaty part of the thumb. The old Finn has been gloating about it with every touch since. Not the best place to get bit... That thing is probably my sharpest knife by a good margin.

Queen's ACSB is the #2 thing I miss the most from their closure. #1 would be Winterbottom bone.

A boxelder burl Barlow and a big ol' jigged plywood fish for today.

That's a good shot of two fine knives, Tony.

If I saw a knife for sale with lots of wobble, no snap, broken blades & it was rusted shut, I'm afraid I'd still be interested if it had ACSB.

Adding this Hen & Rooster swell center whittler I got today to my EDC knives. So it will be this H&R whittler and my Klaas stockman for the next few weeks.

Nothing like carving up an apple with an old pocket knife! This old Keen Kutter K2881 1/2 today.
