Today I used a Case Carhartt edition medium stockman to modify a gourd into a temporary light fixture.

This micarta handled Rough Ryder folding chefs knife with a 4-3/8" lives on my kitchen counter and probably gets more use than any other knife that I own.
EDIT: After looking it up on SMKW web site, i saw that the handles are G-10, not micarta.

Hey Ken, that is pretty sweet! I have not seen that before, I like it. Does it have solid lock up? Any blade play? Hold an edge fairly well? I could definitely see adding that to my arsenal... ::hmm::

All of the above, it's a typical Rough Ryder, good lock up, no wiggle and seems to hold an edge pretty well. I've had mine for a couple years and it's probably been through the dish washer a hundred times.

Well I had to use a 535 Bugout
image.jpg
to open and enjoy a Navel Orange, silly me thinking that all navels peel easy, not the case. These are from Kings River California, my question is are California oranges harder to peel than Florida oranges. The flavor on these are outstanding but the peelings seem to be epoxied onto them. Maybe someone from both regions can enlighten me as to peeling easy on a navel orange from their area.

California oranges tend to be redder on the inside than Florida oranges. They also tend to ruin their surrounding area. The soil becomes poisoned and the tree begins to die. Then the tree needs huge government bailouts to sustain it. The seeds are carried off to other areas and new tress grow and then the cycle starts all over again ruining other areas.

Florida oranges tend to have a blueish color on the inside and don't need government bailouts from hard earned taxpayer's dollars. Florida oranges also don't ruin other orchards around them as the California oranges do.

Thanks for clearing it up for me…almost sounds political it’s the government’s fault that those oranges are hard to peel..lol

Used my Ontario RAT II to cut back several vines that had grown from the outside of the barn (it's in the back, up a steep embankment, which is difficult and unsafe to reach) to the inside.

The RAT II took it like a champ. I accidentally cut into the (chestnut) boards of the barn a couple of times, and I did not notice a single rolled or chipped spot.

I usually don’t carry my phone when I am working but I figured I would take a couple of pictures of my dad’s old Camillus electrician knife in action. :(

Used my Camillus 99 can opener for what it was meant to do. It worked better than the worn-out church keys we have that are as old as the knife.
