Thanks, QS, it surely has some personality. Digging your Canoe too!

I just stumbled across this post, Garry, and had to comment on how nice this white "Toe" looks, strikingly beautiful.
You have such great taste, my friend.

Gulag Wednesday.

Do you know when that baby was made? Wondered if it was Stalin's Gulags or more recent ones? Cool looking piece for sure. Great back story regardless. Love seeing stuff like that one.

Thank you buddy!

Thanks, JP, and knice carries from everyone!

It had been a little too long since this Ward's camp knife had seen a pocket, so it is getting a little carry time. Should any of y'all know how works the can opener, I'd sure be grateful if you'd enlighten me.

I have a few, Ivory, but not a clue about age or even who made them or where. I get them from a guy in Ukraine.

Today's trio at the farm. A blade for any occasion.

Please pardon me for answering for John, Iman, but the information I get is that these RPK's/Russian Prison Knives were built during the 1970's-80's, but I don't know if that was during Stalin's reign. I have no reason to doubt the information!

Whoops, I should have read further before posting this!

I really like those little fishtails, Kim, I just wish I could find them with spear-point blades as opposed to the usual clip-points.

I like yours though!

Dan!
I think you insert the sharp edge into the top of the can until the little tab is sitting on the edge, then simply lift and push forward to cut, lift and push forward, lift and push forward until you've gone all the way around. The lid will then sink to the bottom of the can! lol!
Key words being, "I think"!

I was just about to ask, "What are you babbling on about", but you caught yourself, so no harm no foul! lol!
Actually, I was following along perfectly!

What is that interesting example sitting in the fore-ground, John?

Thx!

The fixed blade is Rocky. It was an AAPK pass-around and made my Estwing, the hatchet/ax guys.
